3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings over this book, 5 May 2003

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gazzario, 5 Feb 2003

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great continuation of the series., 25 Nov 2005

By	Mr. David James "davepbgrg2" (United kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dragons of the Summer Flame (Dragonlance: Dragons of Summer Flame) (Mass Market Paperback)

If like me you have read the dragonlance chronicles, legends, second generation and other dragonlance books and you want the story to go FORWARD instead of constantly looking into the characters pasts then buy this book right now. I simply cannot fault it. It introduces a new main female character that has an actual personality and makes you laugh unlike a lot of the prominent female figures in dragonlance that just seem to be extensions of the men they are involved with and have to follow the recent stereotypical female role of being strong, courageous, brilliant etc. This new character, usha, was to me a delight to read about, provides someone you can laugh with who isnt a kender, and I hope to see her in many more dragonlance books.
The plot of this book is amazing as well, not to give anything away but all the characters you read about in the second generation(which you should read before this) play prominent roles in this saga.
Last of all just look at the authors! Anyone who reads dragonlance knows that weis and hickman make a amazing team, every book I have read by them is a book I will keep forever.
Just get this book, at 585 pages of delicious story you will want to finish every last crumb.
