After years of cold turkey, along comes another dragonlance trilogy. Personally I believe the previous Chronicles and Legends are the best fantasy books ever written bar none, The Ring Books included. So it was with great anticipation I began to read the latest saga. The books stand very well on their own and as an extra trilogy give you something more but are not a patch on the originals. However, there are too many references to other books to allow any reader to fully absorb what is happening. Why does Palin have narled fingers, Why is Tas still running around? it becomes so commonplace as to become annoying. If you put that one criticism aside though, the story itself is very entertaining and quite engrossing. This is a must for any Dragonlance fan but for new readers I would reccommend they read the previous trilogies first. Would be 5 stars but it would have to be exceptional to be as good as Chronicles and Legends.
