Dragonlance Chronicles Gift Set (Mass Market Paperback)

Flint= a old dwarf that has a mostly groutchy personality and tries not to express to much emotion, but is really kind hearted and is a true friend to his comerades. He is very wise and shares his wisdom with the group of friends when it is needed.

Tasslehoff= a extremely happy care free being known as a Kender, Tass brings alot of the comical relief into the story. Tass has a habit of getting into trouble and of getting on everyone elses nerves, but he means well and proves to also be a big help in the groups travels.

Sturm= a noble man who desires to become a knight of Solamnia more than anything else in his life. separated from his father at birth (who was a knight of solamnia), Sturm feels it is his duty in life to follow in his fathers footsteps and do his part in protecting and upholding justice. His life is honor and everything he does is honorable, and he also is a valiant warior. He also puts others before himself and is always worried about the well being of them.

Riverwind= a plainsman from a tribe of people who had banished him because of his love with the Cheiften of the tribe's daughter Goldmoon. As a test of his love Riverwind brought the magic healing staff to the tribe, but the tribe took it as blasphemy and tried to kill him. He is a very proud man, but holds strong moral codes and cares deeply for those close to him. He proves to be a powerful fighter too.

Goldmoon= origionally just the daughter of the Cheiftan, Goldmoon falls in love with Riverwind, and with time their love leads her and Riverwind away from the tribe into all sorts of trials and hardships that come with proving the strength of love. She also becomes a messenger of one of the gods of Krynn and is blessed with the power of healing, not only from the staff but from herself too.

Cameron= A extremely strong but pretty dull witted man, that spite his appearance, is superioly affectionate to his friends and expecially his twin brother Raistlin. Cameron spends most of his time helping Raist move around, comforting him, and taking care of his needs. But when danger is near Cameron becomes a fierce warior who will not let the enemy win at whatever cost.

Raistlin= Raist is actually a magic user, he is of the red robed mages which means in the war between the good and evil forces he is supposed to remain neutral. He is the most unusual of all of the characters and the most mysterious. Because of certaine events that happened before the story begins he has golden skin and hour glass eyes (which only allow him to see things whither and come closer to dying, no beauty at all!), he is also very frail too and has a cough that makes him cough out blood. Raist is very sarcastic, and keeps his distance from the others even though he still considers them friends. Most of the other friends, despite their friendship with him, don't trust him and often blame events that go wrong on him saying that he's betraying them, and by his actions their doubts and suspiscions are condonable. But inside all of his cold heartedness he is a deeply hurt person who has been through alot of troublesome times and feels alone, at certain points in the story this side to him appears from the depths of his heart and leads him to do good and benificial things for his friends and others he meets along the way. Raist helps save the whole groups lives at least 10 times in all of the chronicles.

Laurana= Daughter of the qualinesti elven king, Laurana is at first a love sick girl who has a deep crush on Tanis, but throughout the story she becomes a admirable, efficiant leader of people who leads the people to victories against enemy forces. She is one of the most beautiful girls in the world, and is extremely kind and generous as well.

Tika= a barmaid from a tavern in the town of Solace, Tika is a very admirable person who is friends with the rest of the group and does all that she can to help them out. She has a crush on Cameron and really cares about his well being. She is also a really good fighter for a person who has never had sword training, and is a major benefit to the group.

each one of these characters has deeper personalities than which I had breifely stated, and because the authors did such a amazing job in giving life to each individual, I have to love every single one of the characters as my favorite all time Fantasy heros!!! Each character has their own uniqness that is unlike the other characters, and each one evolves into what ever a person from that personality would become, and never once acts or says anything other than that of what their personality would have them say or do. Not only that but each person does actions of great heroic deeds in their own way that helps the group carry on with their journeys and prevent trajedy from taking place.
And finally I have to say that the most attractive thing about this series is that everything that happens in it results in bigger important situations, in other words everything happens for a reason. there is nothing lame or corny about this book! the authors suceeded in not only creating the story but filling it with deep purpose and emotion. If you can get into the book its funny parts will make you laugh, its sad parts will make you feel sad, its scarry parts will even make you twitch a little if not shudder, and no matter what else you will get from it, it will touch your heart in such a way that you would wish that this book would never end!!!! There is absolutley nothing in this book that will not satisfy the fantasy thrill seeker, and this could become the favorite book of anybody willing to take a chance with this easily!
I myself deeply love this story, and even though I finished it a matter of 2 weeks ago I am still replaying parts of the story in my mind and think about it all of the time! Never has a fantasy book touched me so deeply! I definently recomend this book for a person who wants to find a escape from life, because this is the perfect escape! I long to some how join these characters in this enchanting world of Krynn, and I am not exaggerating at all when I say that the minute I finished this book it felt like a piece of my heart was missing, because there was nothing to continue the story with! A MUST HAVE, BUY IT IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE IT!!!
