5.0 out of 5 stars Jewel in the crown of the DragonLance series, 13 Feb 2007

By	JC (Beds., England) - See all my reviews

After having my original 3 book edition of the Chronicles covered in soup at the dinner table after it was "borrowed" (thanks, Dad!) I put into the back of my mind to buy another copy sooner or later. Then rumours started to float about of a new animated DragonLance movie that should put the likes of the last movies Dungeons and Dragons (pants) and Eragon (also pants) to shame, with Kiefer Sutherland headlining as Raistlin and the entire working crew receiving full support from the authors. So I looked up the website and lo and behold a picture of a shiny new book in hardcover and gilted edges. Since that meant "it's got shiny bits" (I am essentially a magpie) I proceeded to the checkout at Amazon and quite happily paid the thirty odd quid...

... which brings us to this review of self-justification via a guilty conscience to part with that amount of money for a book. This was the first novel in my pre-teens that ever encountered something called a "development arc", so in reading it again it took me straight back to those days where I followed Tanis et al with a sense of enjoyment I had not encountered with a book before. The characters all carry a sense of torment and have their own issues to deal with but what got me hooked was the group interaction between strong personalities that resonated throughout the series. That type of conflict between main characters was then highlighted for myself again in the short-lived sci-fi series Firefly - where the crew are all adults, trust each other implicitly and know they're good, but actually working with each other can produce awkward situations. For the Companions in DragonLance, their whole journey is not just to restore the Balance in the world, but also to change the sense of perspective in themselves at how they see that world.

Reading the first book again as an adult, it is clear to see that the authors were basically making the party "go here, then here then there" in a normal linear Dungeons and Dragons way - you can almost hear the roll of a 20 sided die in the background. Although the first book is deemed by many (including myself) as a classic, the height of the authors' craft reached nearer to their peak in the second and third books, where the characters were making choices for themselves and not necessarily because it was the moral thing to do because, hey, we're the good guys. By splitting the party up, the sense of danger became more imminent as the numbers were lower for each party and the conflict grew nastier - especially with the moral dilemmas going through Tanis's mind and also trying to see what Raistlin wanted to finally achieve.

The books are original in their scope of what the authors set out to achieve. Throughout the special edition, annotations by the authors are made on the margin of the main text. These provide many insights of how the authors got to a certain stage in their writing process and some have interesting personal asides.

This is, to sum up, brilliant. Gilding wasn't needed, the book shines by itself.
