Product Description

A Hero's Secret Journey

The tale is told that Tanis Half-Elven once disappeared in the mountains near Solace. He returned changed, ennobled and with a secret. No one knew what happened to him in those mist-schrouded peaks...until now.

The adventure began with a dying wizard who needed Tanis's help. It would not end until Tanis became a traveler in the old mage's memory, journeying into the past to fight an impossible battle against time itself.

Tanis the Shadow Years is one of the long-awaited stories set before the best-selling Dragonlance Chronicles Trilogy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better, Jan 20 2002
By "vedvedsica" (Auckland, NZ) - See all my reviews
As with quite a few of the Preludes and Meetings books, this seemed out of tune with the Chronicles view of Tanis. There is a certain way the Tanis talks and acts, but these authors couldn't quite seem to grasp it.
The plot was slightly ridiculous. I find it difficult to believe Tanis would even consider starting on this adventure just to find news about his father.
I don't usually object to a bit of love mixed into a story, but when it becomes the story to the exclusion of all else, I start to worry.
The whole thing about Death was stupid. This, along with the rest of the happenings in the book, is never mentioned by Tanis in the Chronicles series. A lot of the Preludes are a bad conclusion to a good idea.
In saying all this, I still enjoyed the first half of the book. The rest really set my teeth on edge.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book!, Oct 12 2001
By Andy. Gillum (indian mound, tn) - See all my reviews
Unlike The Oath & The Measure,The Companions,Darkness & Light and Kendermore, this actually fits into the Dragonlance saga - a few days after the Companions seperate & almost a month before Raistlin takes the Test.
Unlike those others books, the writing's very good as well. I'd definately recommend this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst Dragonlance Book I've Read!, Aug 8 2001
By "pj59" (Edge of the Earth, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
As an avid Dragonlance fan, I was severely disappointed with this novel. It had absolutely no bearing on any of Tanis' further adventures and didn't even begin to answer Tanis' questions about his father. ( BTW, for an EXCELLENT view of that tale, read "The Inheritance.) Tanis had stated in the Chronicles that he'd been in lands not friendly to elves, but this was set in an Elven village; the Red Robed mage was part human, part elf, and the only acceptable mages to elves are White Robes; and to add insult to injury we get bogged down in a sappy love story and end up in the place of Death, where apparently silver dragons get to breathe fire instead of the breath weapon of cold that they're born with! Makes you wonder if the authors read the original works at all. I'd love to see a well-written book about what happened to Tanis in the five years prior to the Chronicles, but this wasn't it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book but they hurt Tanis

5.0 out of 5 stars Might just be the best book...

3.0 out of 5 stars ..stereotypically Tanis..
