4.0 out of 5 stars
Dragonlance War of Souls Trilogy, 11 April 2005
This review is from: War of Souls: Gift Set (War of Souls Trilogy) (Paperback)
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.

well worth the read, 11 Oct 2004
This review is from: War of Souls: Gift Set (War of Souls Trilogy) (Paperback)
well what can i say, having not read any of the earlier dragonlance books i thought this trilogy was an excellent read. the fact that it is set years after the previous books did'nt seem to drop you into the unknown, some of the characters from previous novels were in there but it did'nt dwell on the past with them. i now can't wait to read the earlier novels.

"Everything is not what it seems", 14 May 2006
This review is from: War of Souls: Gift Set (War of Souls Trilogy) (Paperback)
This trilogy goes up there with the best and classic.
It follows the story after the "Dragons of Summer Flame" and if you want to find out what happends next you should buy it. Not only for that but also its plot is amazing and certenly one of the best i have read. Everything is not what it seems and while the truth unravels slowly as you read the books your appetite for more increases and you find yourself reading them in no time.
I read all three in the summer of 2005 and since then i have been reccomenting it to friends. It gave me a renewed interest in the world of DragonLance as many other DragonLance out there are far infirior.
My advice is, go and get the trilogy now.
One thing i didnt like is Dalamar getting his magic back. For what he has done he should not. You turned a new chapter for Krynn, i say its time for Dalamar to step off the scene somehow.
