Summary: Personal Fav. Dragonlance Novel
Review: This is undoubtedly my favorite Dragonlance novel. I can see why some people may think that because the ending completley throws how you once knew Krynn upside down doesnt mean you should hate it.Anyways the basic plot is that Chaos, father of the gods has escaped and plans to destroy Krynn. Charachters such as Palin Majere and Steel Brightblade must stop him. The story ends very climatically in a huge final battle. Oh to one of the reviews on here that I read I have some things to say. Number 1 they DO explain who Usha's parents ARE she is NOT an Irda girl but is infact Human. And the Raistlin's Daughter short story is told as a Myth(at least where I read it in The Next Generation). Also Raistlin wasnt the OLD Raistlin because he had no magic, wouldnt have made sense otherwise.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: As a longtime fan and follower of the Dragonlance Saga, I can only call this 4th and heavily belated installment of Chronicles to be a major disappointment. Gone is the sense of purpose and adventure that made the original Chronicles and Legends trilogies so gripping. In its place is this, which almost reads like a comic book, with characters coming back to life and being taken away just as quickly. Most of the "offspring" characters developed in the Tales stories are killed off rather quickly, and other characters like Palin and Steele are not dealt with well either. Add to that the almost total destruction of the Krynn we all know from prior novels, and this is one fantasy disaster. For my part, I've tried to forget this was ever written, and until better comes along am sticking with the Legends trilogy as the final major chapter involving the heroes of the lance.

Summary: This is a REAL WINNER! Of the worst dragonlace book...ever!
Review: If you have ever read a dragonlance novel, then you know what to expect. I am a Weis & Hickman fan. I own 10 of their books, and this is the book that took a flop. It has no plot, and it is not relevant to the rest of their books. Except Palin Majere is introduced, who is Raistlin's nephew. That is ALL you need to know. I promise. But this is the most plot depressing book i have ever had the nerve to read. I gave the book away. If you are looking for a book that will let you down read this. If you are looking for a good epic fantasy series, read the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams. It is Better than Tolkien,....seriously.
The main reason i would not recommend this to anyone is, compared to great stories like The Lord of the Rings and Memory Sorrow and Thorn, this book was written by a 9-year old neanderthal boy. This book has poor sentence structure, no mysteries, nothing exciting, and no plot!
