Summary: Good book, although they seemed to rush through it.
Review: Overall, I found the book to be quite interesting.
It pulled you in and made you try to see what happens next. However, I feel that Weis and
Hickman rushed through the writing of this novel.
It almost seemed that they could have made this
book better if they would have split it into 2 separate books. In my opinion, the story seemed
"rushed" through towards the end of the book.

Summary: The best DL novel yet!
Review: This book had everything that makes a dragonlance novel great, magic, gods, heroes, villains, and - of course - dragons. The Graygem, Irda, Knights of Takhisis, Chaos, and Raistlin were all tied in to one plot masterfully. However, I was displeased to see the bad ratings others were giving the book just because it ended the Krynn as we know it. Just because this book forced the series to move on does not mean that the quality of the novel is not excellent. Even though I was very depressed about the occuences in the book, such as the departure of the gods and magic, my two favorite elements, I do have to admit that this was the best dragonlance novel I have read. I found myself getting caught up in the roles of these characters equally or more than I had been with the original characters in the Chronicles. Weis and Hickman, however sad it was for themselves and the readers, brilliantly brought about a new twist in the world of Krynn

Summary: This book will blow you out of your boots!
Review: Finally returning to the world they helped create, Weis and Hickman wrote the most amazing Dragonlance novel to date.
Without getting into the plot too deeply (there are other reviews for that), Weis and Hickman have done things to this world no other author would have the courage to do. The ending will leave you panting for more and worshipping Tracy and Margaret as the best fantasy writers today.
The Heroes of the Lance and their offspring (and those Heroes were a randy bunch, apparently) have to save the world again and what havoc they wreak will leave you open-mouthed in wonder.
Buy this book! You will not be disappointed

Summary: Absolutely the best Dragonlance Book that I have ever read!!
Review: The War of the Lance is long over. Again Good fights Evil. Evil "wins", and Chaos, Father of the Gods, returns bringing havoc to Krynn. Now the fate of the world is in the hands of living heroes- (Palin, Tasslehoff, Usha, and Steel). This book was the best DL book I have ever read! It is long but that isn't a problem because you won't be able to put it down

Summary: Excellent beginning and middle, bumber of an end.
Review: This is an excellent book. You gotta love
those cliff hangers at the end of each of the
chapters. I couldn't put the blasted book down
I start reading it at nine at night intending
on only reading one or two chapters and often
times find that it's three or four in the
morning and I'm still reading it!
I almost broke out in tears when I got to the
last few pages though. Besides my favorite
kender Tas being killed off, all the gods
left,and most importantly all the magic of
Krynn was also gone. Talk about an aweful
fate! I really hope this doesn't mean the
end the Dragonlance series, that would be a
fate worse than death.
Nevertheless this is an excellent book and I
definitly recommend reading it.

Summary: A new darkness over-takes the land
Review: Takhisis seeks to enter the world again, so she has a follower of hers create the Knights of Takhisis. Paladins of the Night, the Knights of Takhisis are modeled after the Knights of Solamnia, except with evil intentions. With the help of The Brutes, they begin to take over the world.
The Irda, seeing the possible threat to their way of life, seek to protect themselves, so they send away the Child of the Irda, Usha, and crack the Greygem, hoping to harness the power inside and use it for their protection.
Palin Majere, a mage of the white robes, nephew of Raistlin Majere, Arch-Mage of the Black Robes, travels with his brothers and a group of Solamnic knights, until a battle between their group and the Knights of Takhisis occurs. Palin is the only surviver.
The story takes off from these three points, and soon the world is away of the threat of the All-Father, the High-God, Chaos. As fate draws a group of warriors to each other, the gods begin to worry. Finally, with the guidance of the Creator god, Reorx, and a group of dragons and Knights, both of Takhisis and Paladine, armed with the powerful dragonlances, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, Usha, Palin Majere, and Steel Majere face Chaos in a battle that means the life of death of Krynn.

Summary: A good read but not for a lover of the Dragonlance saga.
Review: I have read most of the Dragonlance books but have lately lost track of the amount of 'spin off' novels written by authors seeming to jump on the bandwagon. It seemed at a first glance that Dragons of Summer Flame would be a welcome return to the quality and style of the original three books. Wrong!
I wish to congratulate Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman on their inventive way of killing off what must have been one of the best fantasy settings yet. Bringing back some of the main characters worked for me until they started dropping like flies! I think that the original characters should have been left alone with only references to them used in the book. The information passed on about the father of the gods, Chaos, was interesting, but I felt that I didn't 'know' the 2nd generation characters well enough. It seemed that the old characters were used to bolster the new that had less depth.
I would have to say that the actual quality of writing was excellent as would be expected and the story line was original and rather unexpected but more could have gone into the characters. I'm not only attacking, I did enjoy the book, it just didn't seem to live up to it's predecessors.
Rating:
Summary: This the greatest Dragonlance book written yet,
Review: This is the best yet written and I see that few people have appreciated it. I was a little dissapointed at the end when Palin puts Caos back into the Greygem, and the gods flee, turning Ansalon into the Earth of now. I recomend people to read this book

Summary: All great things come to an end...
Review: After years of mourning Raistlin's "death", my favorite character comes back. Even without his magic, in this book Raistlin shows how powerful he is. The story, as all written by perhaps the best adventure novel author team, is wonderful and enjoyable. It has action, sad moments and the humor that Mr Hickman and Mrs Weis always deliver in perfect fashion. If you are a Dragonlance fan, this is a must; although you'll cry at the end of the book. With so many books out there, maybe TSR should let Krynn pass away into legend as perhaps the best-ever conceived fantasy land
Rating: 
Summary: UM NOT TO GREAT
Review: The book itself is somewhat interesting but the fact that they kill off almost every main character
includeing the new ones kinda makes it seem like weis
and hickman are sick of there only being know for dragonlance
and decided to do away with it
