5.0 out of 5 stars The rest of the story..., 10 July 2003

By

dave "weirddave" (Cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dragonlance Legends Gift Set (Mass Market Paperback)

The only true sequel to the 'Chronicles' set of books, here in gift-pack form. Legends works as well as the first story, but focuses its scope more intently on Raistlin, Caramon and Tas. In some ways this works, in others it frustrates, before finally we get a 'mini-reprise' of Chronicles in the final volume.

As to the story - Well, Caramon and Tika are running the inn, and Caramon's got fat and alcoholic because Raistlin's left to become the most powerful mage ever. Raistlin decides he wants to become a God, so travels back in time to get the means to do just that. Caramon becomes the reluctant hero trying to stop him.

Notable points are Tas being forced to grow up more than even in the Chronicles books; Caramon also being forced to grow up (something that was sadly absent from Chronicles, but this really does make up for that); and Dalamar, a great almost-dark character who really doesn't feature enough for such a good idea.

But generally speaking, the series reprises all of the good points of Chronicles, with only some minor flabby points during the time travel, which you really don't notice given the pace of events. Ties up a lot of the loose ends left after Chronicles, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soul Growth, 3 July 2003

HennaH84 "rosilly" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dragonlance Legends Gift Set (Mass Market Paperback)

These books I have found to be superb, no better than superb, awe-inspiring. The titanic struggle between good and evil has been covered many a time, see Tolkien etc but for a deep focus on a relationship of love and hate between brothers torn apart by jealousy and misunderstanding which leaves the reader alternately weeping with sorrow and then with laughter, there is NO PEER. The Brilliant but twisted mage and the strong in body but not mind warrior brought together by the beautiful, faithful yet unfeeling cleric of Paladine, all travel back through time where Raistlin will challenge the Gods. Add to this explosive mix everyones favourite Kender this is a story NOT to be missed!

This set contains three books from the Dragonlance saga: Time of the Twins,War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins.

Tasslehoff, Raistlin, Caramon, and a priestess named Crysania travel back in time to visit the city of Istar.
Raistlin plots to seize the magical power of the ancient wizard Fistandantilus and challenge the Dark Queen

These are crucial titles for any Dragonlance fan.

Having read many fantasy series, I can only say that none surpasses Dragonlance for me. In the center of this amazing series, stands The Chronicals and The Legends. Read more
