Mixed Feelings over this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dragons of the Summer Flame (Dragonlance: Dragons of Summer Flame) (Mass Market Paperback)
As has been stated Raistlin shouldnt have been brough back, although unlike some reviewers i quite liked the tragic death of a few of the last main characters. All in all the new characters arent as strong as the original cast as it were :)One thing i have noticed is that a lot of people reviewing seem to have read the books in the wrong order, or at least missed out an entire trilogy or two. Dragons of Summer Flame should be read after the book War of the Twins, not straight after Dragons of Spring Dawning. I guess the title leads to a little confusion. The order they should be read in are : Dragonlance Chronicles (Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, Dragons of Spring dawning) Dragonlance Legends (Time of the Twins, Test of the Twins, War of the Twins) Dragonlance Tales ("The Magic of Krynn", "Kender, Gully Dwarves and Gnomes" , "Love and War") Worth reading as some of the stories pad out events that are touched upon in the previous books, all in all not up to the standard of the others with the exception of the story "the Legacy" which i think is truely touching and a much better finale for Raistlin than Dragons of Summer Flame. Dragons of Summer Flame

Gazzario,
By Gareth Davies (Milton Keynes, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dragons of the Summer Flame (Dragonlance: Dragons of Summer Flame) (Mass Market Paperback)
Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman have written another excellent instalment in the Dragonlance Series. Dragons of a Summer Flame deals mainly with the characters Steel Brightblade (son of Sturm and Kitiara) and Palin Majere (son of Caramon and Tika) and their developing friendship, despite their very different alleigances to evil and good respectively, whilst they fight the Chaos War. Some of the original characters make appearances - both Tanis, Caramon and a certain frail twin of the former... Be warned, there is a MAJOR shock in store..., a point at which I had to stop reading and get my head round it; a truly poignant moment in the history of the Dragonlance saga.I would recommend that you first read 'The Second Generation' before 'Summer Flame' as there are references to tales within that book, but it is by no means essential. All in all 'Summer Flame' is a thoroughly good read, still not up to the greatness of the Chronicles or Legends (hence 4 Stars), but if you like Dragonlance, you will love this book. Get it in!

Who wrote this book?,

This review is from: Dragons of the Summer Flame (Dragonlance: Dragons of Summer Flame) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am still reading this book, and enjoying it, but this is not Weis/Hickman's normal writing style. I can't help but think that they commissioned someone else to write the book and put their names as the authors. The incident with Tanis was as if it was a new character to the book, rather than one of the first people we met in the Chronicles.
If you are expecting the same style as you found in Chronicles, Legends, and even their short novellas in the Tales, you won't find it here, and although the book is an enjoyable read, it is not the best book I have read from the Dragonlance World
