Summary: A true journey into the fantastic
Review: It's funny how some would call this a "pre-teen" adventure into literature. As a well traveled military wife with several college degrees, I can honestly say this book was a triumph. For those who can truly appreciate science fiction/fantasy-it will captivate and enthrall you as only the Dragonlance series can. I have lived in more foreign countries than many people can claim to have visited, I have read literature in many languages, and studied many religions..yet nothing else in the world can quite interest nor entertain me more than science fiction. Here we are truly set free from the normal sarcastic and repetitive drivel that is modern literature-and revell in someone else's fantasy world. I give it a rating of ten, and recommend this set of books to any and all intelligent people-most especially to adults-who lord knows can use a little "escape" now and then from our otherwise stressful and hard working lives! Thumbs up to yet another excellent work.

Summary: Not just a young adults book
Review: I first read this trilogy whan I was in Jr. high. I was entranced, enamored, captivated. So when I read it again earlier this year, I expected to be disappointed. I've read a lot of books since, and have significantly upped my normal level of reading. But guess what. I still love it. Maybe it's nostalga. Maybe it's just a damn good book if you take it at face value. Sure, it's no great work of adult literature. But here's the thing - I cared about these characters. More than any other characters in any other books I've read, probably. When a book has that, much of the rest is forgettable and forgivable. If you read it in your youth and want a flashback, read it again. If you haven't, try it. This is one of few I've read more than once - have read it three times now!

Summary: Hello? Hello? Are you all serious?
Review: I sincerely hope everyone who has reviewed this book and given it nines and tens is very young, because, come on, this book is not *that* great. When I read it as a sixth grader it was interesting... somewhat. Realistically, Test of The Twins is a pre-teen's low-maturity-needed kind of book. It is but one of seemingly millions of Dragonlance books produced to make lots of money off of young readers who have not yet found true literature. These Dragonlance "books" are form novels pumped out in incredible numbers to satisfy the blind thirst of readers drawn in by the flashy covers, readers looking for a quick, no-thought entertainment burst that takes about a day to read, at which point, they can tell all their friends (who are also entranced with the Dragonlance "saga") that they've read the latest book and are very cool. Now, don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with wanting some quick entertainment when you're still young, but if you're in High School or above, and are enjoying this book at all, you sincerely need to get out a bit. Pick up some Vonnegut or Calvino at the nearest bookstore and immerse yourself in some *real* writing. Or better yet, go to a party. Geeze..

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book is one of the best books I have ever read. The plot is very fast pased, but not so that it lags in detail. I know most ppl dont agree with this, but I found the Legends series more interesting than the Chronichles, for one reason. I felt it dealt more with the characters on a personal level. You could actually imagina yourself walking along with the companions, and Tasslehoff is funnier than ever. Raistlin shows his true feelings, that he really does care. Take my word for it, this book is EXCELLEN

Summary: Only book that made me cry.....WONDERFUL
Review: to bad 10 is the limit for rating this book, it should get 100+, this is the only book that has ever made me cry so profoundly that it was pretty pathetic, it's just such a great series overall, and the depth of character in the chronicles & legends are amazing, you really feel like the individuals in the series are your friends and your among them, this book is too great for words....there is nothing that quite compares

Summary: This trilogy ended with one of the best books of the year!
Review: In this, the final installment of the DragonLance Legends, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman finished the story of the twins. They tell of Raistlin's journey through the Abyss, Caramon's knowledge of his brother's evil, and Tasselhoff's realization of life and it's tragedies. This book is an excellent example of perfect writing. As you read, you will be able to see yourself walking beside Raistlin, the sweet scent of rose petals and death in your nostrils. You may be trudging along beside Caramon in a life-less world, the mud sticking to you boots. Finally you could accompany Tanis and Dalamar, watching helplessly as Caramon enters the Abyss to deal with his brother, Raistlin

Summary: Better than the other two
Review: Bobby MacGregor ([e-mail]) This book is by far the best in the Legends trilogy. I had heard good remarks about the trilogy, but once I read the first two I thought it stunk. Test of the twins greatly changed my mind, and now I know why the trilogy is so famous. This book is a must for any Dragonlance reader.

Summary: A work of masterpiece, that ends in tradgety and hapiness
Review: This book brings out emotions and feelings that many people do not know exist. Using clarity and refinement Weis & Hickman come together to make this book among the saddest but happiest books i've read. I read it in a day, I couldn't set it down. A must read for any DL fan

Summary: Finally!!!
Review: After the first two books in the Legends trilogy I wasn't certain if I should read the third or not. The first two were dull and depressing and all together a big dissapointment after reading the Chronicles trilogy. But fear not, Weis & Hickman complete the trilogy wonderfully. There's plenty of action, adventure, and magic, and it almost has the feel of the first trilogy (that's a good thing)! The ending is depressing, but if you go on to read The Second Generation and Dragons of Summer Flame, you'll discover things change (He's Baaack)! It's worth reading the first two just for this book - You won't be dissapointed

Summary: THE BEST!!!
Review: The Legends Trilogy- the Time of The Twins, the War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins, is the sequel to The Chronicles Trilogy- Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning, which brings to life the ultimate battle between Good and Evil in the magical World of Krynn. The books are so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. The authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have truly outdone themselves and have presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien's work and RA Salvatore's The Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies. Duty, honor, bravery, magic, dragons and heroes are all about. One should seriously start thinking about maybe turning them into movies...
