This book starts where The Soulforge ends as Raistlin and Caramon go out into the world. Kitiara is a big part of the story, as well. We hope you have fun reading it!

All in all, I think this is a thoroughly enjoyable book and I would recommend it to any Dragonlance fan out there. I thought the characters were well portrayed, as innocent as Caramon starts out to be, as hidden as Raistlin always is and Kitiara, a woman beyond all belief, a tower of persistence and integrity albeit in a selfish sense. Raistlin as always is my favourite character no doubt about that, but what is in the book that we don't already know about Raistlin? The gist of what is said is basically described in the Cronicles trilogy and only if you want the finer details should you embark on this journey of character growth. I don't think enough innovation has been put in and all we have left is plot. Apart from the plot, everything is pretty much set out in the Chronicles trilogy and there is not much need to repeat in finer detail what is said in Brothers in Arms. However, I have given it a four star rating due to it's intruiging characterisation, plot and general readability. Interesting and keeps you reading straight through till the end. A definite must have for any dragonlance fan.

At last another masterpiece from Ms Weis. This is very well written and shows Raistlin as we know and love him. We see compassion and understanding as well as his 'dark' side. It is interesting to note, however, that our dark mage does not seem to be very 'black' as yet. In fact he almost makes you believe that he may go to the White robes of Paladine. Although we know this to be untrue as he is the master of past present and future as foretold in the Chronicles. I thoroughly enjoyed these Raistlin books, and hope to see the third volume, if and when it arrives.

For those of you familiar with the Dragonlance universe, I have to say this is a very different book from The Soulforge (which precedes this volume). This book starts out quite slow, but once it gets going is quite entertaining. It is interesting to speculate about what role Don Perrin played in this book given The Soulforge was completely his wife's work (Margaret Weis). The book generally aims to stay consistent with the other texts in the series and does not "offend" key plot points for what comes later.
Another interesting aspect of this work is the development (furthered in Dragons of the Highlord Skies) of Kitiara. A character I always felt was quite narrow in the original trilogy (chronocles) is fleshed out considerably in these two volumes, and I 'almost' find myself liking her. It appears that a reasonable amount of military study has gone into preparing this book (at least at an elementary level) as it skips the deux au machina of the magic spell to end every conflict (which seemed to be evident in some more recent Dragonlance novels).
This book is not deep and is a good actioner. Enjoy it for what it is, but don't expect the same degree of introspection as with The Soulforge.

The worst of the dragonlace books written by Margaret Weis
I can only say that is boring. I like the soulforge, but this book is a deception.

Soulforge was fantastic, Brother's In Arms was better!
Once I had read Soulforge I just couldn't wait for the next installment. When it arrived I was amazed by how good it really was. Read more

I cannot summarize, it has not yet been released.
Soulforge was good, I hope that "Brothers in Arms" follows up with just as much flame and enchantment. Read more
