Product Description

From Amazon.com

Think of it as A New Hope for the world of Dragonlance: Sure, maybe it's a little rough around the edges, maybe it's got one cliché too many, but this baby is pure magic. The first volume in the Dragonlance Chronicles series, this classic from Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman started it all for Krynn, eventually spawning a bestselling 90-plus book series. (And, frankly, you'd do well to stick to the Weis-Hickman titles.) All the heroes that you've likely heard of already--the creepy, hourglass-eyed Raistlin, the noble half-elf Tanis, the comic relief Tasselhoff Burrfoot, the curmudgeonly dwarf Flint Fireforge--they're all here, starting the good fight against the Dark Queen Takhisis as the War of the Lance begins. Pick up Dragons of Winter Night when you're done. --Paul Hughes

Product Description

Lifelong friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales of strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chance encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman, who bears a magical crystal staff, draws the companions deeper into the shadows, forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world.

No one expected them to be heroes.

Least of all, them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth a read and a re-read, May 28 2001

By	Seth M. Reeves (Denton, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I first read the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy when I was about 14 or 15 years old and I really enjoyed it for the exciting adventures and for the battle scenes. I'm now 23 and I just finished reading it again for the second time. All I can say is that I loved it even more this time around, mainly for the superb character development. Chronicles succeeds on so many levels because Weis and Hickman take you deep into the main character's psyches. Thus, although the story is epic and sweeping in its scope (good vs. evil with the fate of the world in the balance), it is also imbued with a deeply human and personal quality which makes you (or at least made me) laugh at, get angry at, cry with, and sympathize with the main the characters. You walk away from this series really feeling that, whether you like them or dislike them in the end, you actually know the characters. Personally, I was furious at Tanis during the last part of Dragons of Winter Night and almost all of Dragons of Spring Dawning, but in the end you really see that Tanis is a man with flaws like us all. In the process of reading, I would have preferred that he forget Kitiara and give himself to return Laurana's love way back at the begining of Drag. of Winter Night, but he had to have a wrestle with his own demons before he could choose which woman he was going to give his heart to. At the end of the story, Tanis is a much more real and substantial character for the whole mess in the middle. I give this example because it is character development such as this (for good or for evil) that elevates the Dragonlance Chronicles far above most fantasy novels, and indeed even above the clich�s inherent in its own storyline. If you want to read one superb and compelling fantasy series, you'd be hard-pressed to find one that is superior to Dragonlance Chronicles (and then read Dragonlance Legends as well, its just as good). Start, of course, with Drag. of Autumn Twilight, and after that I don't think you'll have any hesitation about reading the second and third volumes. (One comment concering comparing DL Chronicles to Tolkien: Let's let Tolkien be what he is- the father and pioneer and architect of the epic fantasy novel, and let's let Weis and Hickman be what they are- those who are masterfully building on the foundation that Tolkien laid. Personally, I enjoy both Tolkien's writings and those of Weis and Hickman equally as much, but for different reasons.)

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, April 18 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragons of Autumn Twilight: Dragonlance Chronicles, Volume I (Hardcover)

While all fantasy books with elves, dwarves, halflings and whatnot ARE imitations of Tolkien, the Dragonlance series is a pretty good rip-off. Ever since I picked up this book, I was sucked into the whole Dragonlance world.

The quality of writing is not extremely mind-blowing, but there are many good parts, and I especially appreciated the characterizations of the twins Caramon and Raistlin. While I thought Raistlin was a pretty original character (well, you have to remember this was a book first published 20 years ago when the badass wizard didn't appear in every two fantasies you read), I actually adored Caramon's devotion. I found Tanis's divided loyalties a pretty well-written struggle as well.

This I definitely regard one of the fantasy 'bibles'. I believe the first book of Dragonlance is much more original than Brooks' Shannara series or Salvatore's Icewind Dale.

4.0 out of 5 stars good fantasy novel, Jul 15 2004

By	Robert Gallihan (Northville, MI USA) - See all my reviews

If you look at this book, then you might believe what you have in you're hands is a Lord of The Rings rip off. After all, it contains dwarves, elves, all of the essential things. Well, you would be wrong. Dragons of Autumn Twilight, the first of three begins with lifelong friends meeting in a bar within their home town, but their quiet evening of reminiscing is interrupted by 2 mysterious wanderers called Riverwind and Goldmoon. Goldmoon saves a man's life with a mysterious rod, after the man falls into a fire. As it turns out, goblins are after the rod for reasons unknown, so after saving the man's life, she gathers together Tanis, Sturm, Raistlin, Caramon, Flint, and Tasselhoff to help her escape the town before she is Goldmoon and Riverwind are both killed. Upon escaping the city, the group is in danger, as now they are being followed by the goblins. They venture across the land of Krynn, until they reach a forest in which Raistlin unleashes his powerful magic. By the end of the first book[ the book is divided into 3 parts] much has happened. When book two begins, they open a slave caravan, and release many prisoners. They then go to a castle where a great battle begins, and one of the prisoners they released from the slave caravan by the name of Fizban dies. I don't remember everything that happened in tis book, as I read it about 2 years ago, but I do remember that there is an extremely gory part in which Riverwind is severely injured. This is a wonderful book, and I advise you to read it now.
