Product Description

Product Description

The Summer of Chaos has ended.

Ansalon’s nightmare has only just begun. The gods have departed the world, heralding a new Age of Mortals. But before the dust of war can settle, vast shadows cover the land. Dragons have come to Ansalon, larger and more powerful than any ever seen, and they will wreak havoc on nations still trembling from war. As the lands themselves begin to change under the dire magic of the new dragon overlords, new heroes arise to lead the fight for freedom.

Ingram

It is Krynn's darkest hour as the great dragon overlords threaten enslavement. But a handful of humans refuse to surrender. Spurred on by the famed sorcerer Palin Majere, and armed with an ancient dragonlance, they dare to stand up to the overlords. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Picking up steam, May 3 2004
By Christopher Watts (Surprise, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Day of the Tempest: Dragons of a New Age, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was far better than the first. A lot of important things are now happening in the dragonlance world and everything is going at a break neck pace. I was very pleased to see that the characters from the first book are being given a lot more depth. New characters are entering in from different sources. This pick has a style very simaler to the Chronicles trilogy. There is a LOT that goes on.

By Adam (IL,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Day of the Tempest: Dragons of a New Age, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is likley to satasfy you even more than the one preceding it, The Dawning of a New Age, though not as good as the book following it ,The Eve of the Malestrom. I recomend this book highly and know any of the people reading this would enjoy every word.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first book in the series., Mar 10 2003
By Christopher Ware (Fremont, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Day of the Tempest: Dragons of a New Age, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
The first thing I noticed in this book was Rabe's heavy handed way of recapping the previous book. Presumably, readers will know that this is the second book in a trilogy and will have read the first book. This being the case, Rabe goes into way too much detail in her recounting of what occurred previously. And it wasn't done subtly, either. Authors such as Jordan and Goodkind have taken this type of thing and elevated it to an art. Unfortunately, Ms. Rabe doesn't take that approach here and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Fortunately, by the time we get to around page 100, it seems that Rabe has finally found her voice. The clunky prose and awkward dialogue that plagued the first book have almost completely disappeared by the end of this one. Her narration becomes much more smooth and her characters speak like actual people. Most of the time. There are still a few rough spots to be navigated, but the improvement is definitely noticeable.

The story itself is very engaging as well. The trials and tribulations of the characters and how they deal with them made me want to keep reading. I wanted to see how everything was going to end up. There is a twist or two at the end that I wasn't expecting and those made me want to immediately pick up the third book and start reading. Rabe is able to accomplish, in the last half of the book, what she wasn't able to do in the first book and a half: get me to care about the characters. Not up to the level of Weis and Hickman, but enough that I began rooting for them rather than just following along.

Readers disappointed in the first book in the series have something to look forward to here. Rabe's writing improves immensely, which makes for a much more enjoyable book. Since this is a pivotal storyline in the new Fifth Age and should be read before moving onto Weis & Hickman's War of Souls trilogy, this is important for all Dragonlance fans. If she continues her improvement, the world of Ansalon will have a great new voice to add to the chronicles of the land and its characters.

Jean Rabe did a masterful job with these books. Not only are they fun any interesting to read, but they don't have many chapters were nothing is happening. Read more

I looooove dragons. And this writer knows how to portray them. I especially like the Storm Over Krynn. This'd make a neat movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked it! I liked it!
This book was better than the first book in the series (the dawning of a new age). It had a better plot to it. And I liked how the auther ended this book.
