Summary: AMAZING TRILOGY!!!
Review: Definitely a great fantasy epic and one of my personal favorites, The Chronicles Trilogy- Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning, brings to life the ultimate battle between Good and Evil in the World of Krynn. The books are so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. The authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have truly outdone themselves and have presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien's work and RA Salvatore's The Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies. A GREAT trilogy indeed and a "must read" along with Margaret Weis' Legends trilogy! Duty, honor, bravery, magic, dragons and heroes are all about. One should seriously start thinking about maybe turning them into movies...

Summary: Dragons of a Spring Dawning-Awesome Conclusion!!!
Review: I have read quite a few of Wies and Hickman's books and this one was by far the most intriging!! The last parts at Neraka still leave my shivering with delight. Tanis was one of my favorite characters in the whole series. He kept a cool head and stayed focus (until Kitiara showed up, but hey she tricked me too with her charming crooked smile!) Kitiara was one on the most intense and evil characters. She had her way with men which (I hate to say, I saw right through her)made her a very devious person. Wies and Hickman definately left the end of this book open for another series (That series is the Legend series made up of The Time of the Twins, The War of the Twins and the Test of the Twins) I think people everywhere should try this incredible series which left me spellbound for months. Even if you don't like fantasy i think you should give this a try. Hey, you really might enjoy it!!

Summary: Perfect Introduction To The Legends Trilogy
Review: I personnaly think this is an excellent book, except it doesn't deal with Raistlin enough. But it was still a good book and a perfect way to end the Chronicles trilogy and a good introduction to Legends.For those of you who have read the first two books and are dying from anticipation, Tanis finally chooses which woman he spends his life with. Tas and Flint continue bickering until the end, in more ways than one. Raistlin shows off his real personnality (something I was waiting for). Fizban loses his hat (again). And Caramon beats up some draconians. If you are a Raistlin and Caramon fan, like I am, this book is necessary. As I have mentoined before, this is where Legends gets started (I know Legends takes place 4 years after this but everything in Chronicles leads up to Legends). The best part of the book was the very end when Raistlin fulfils the prophecy. Out of everything in Chrocicles those few pages are what realy stood out. "Someday you, with all your strength and charm and good looks,you, all of you, will call me master" Raistlin, Dragons Of Autumn Twilight

Summary: Great ending on a fantastic trilogy
Review: I remember staying up ALL night until like 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning to finish this novel. This brings many threads and questions/mysteries from the first two novels (see my reviews of other Dragonlance and fantasy stuff, incl. Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night) to a close. You find out the mysteries of what exactly the Green Gemstone man and why he's important and what happens to Raistlin. Also this epic fleshes out Raistlin to be the amazing character he is, portrayed at the end as one with way more influence and power than any of us thought. Also relationships triangle Tanis-Kit-Lauranana will end with Tanis choosing one over the other. I wont exactly spoil any of it for you. This saga has an excellent ending where divine influence is involved and brings about closure but raises new and exciting questions and mysterious on the world of Krynn. After this comes the Legends Trilogy (Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, Test of the Twins) which is just as amazing as Chronicles. If you read both Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night you MUST buy this book!

Summary: Last but definitely not least
Review: This trilogy was actually the very first set of books I ever purchased. It got me hooked immediately to the fantasy genre. I don't claim to be any expert especially during the time I first read this third volume, but I must say that it is one of the best out there. It is not your a-typical conclusion to a good vs. evil plot. It left me with a feeling of, the best word I can think of to describe it, contentment. It had a sense of closure, but at the same time it makes you excited for more. Every page was/is a new twist, a new turn to the story. It never fails to grab your attention and make you want to get to the next page NOW! I believe I've read this book, and the previous two, at least 20 times throughout the years, and it just gets better every time. From Raisltin's fate (or the beginning of it) to Tanis' realization of his true feelings at the end of this volume, it lets you feel like you're a part of what's going on and enables you to relate and feel for the characters. If you've never read this book or the Chronicles trilogy and you consider yourself a true fan of fantasy, then consider this an awakening.
