4.0 out of 5 stars Preludes, the stories before the chronicles., 20 Oct 1998
By A Customer
As an avid Dragonlance reader, I found this book very insightful on Tanis's past. The prelude volumes are extrordinary reading and very fulfilling for those DL readers who first read the chronicles and wondered where Tanis, Flint, Sturm, Tas and the others originated. The preludes should be the next books to read after the chronicles. Besides, Tanis is awesome as always in this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Dissapointment for any True DragonLance Fan, 29 April 1998
By A Customer
I am a hardcore DL fan and was really looking forward to this book, seeing as how it was supposed to detail Tanis's life in the five years prior to Weis and Hickman's classic Chronicles trilogy (I refer to it as a 'trilogy' because I refuse to acknowledge "Dragons of Summer Flame," a cheezy attempt by the authors to revisit the world they'd created and, by doing so, destroying it forever). Unfortunately, the book delivers nothing: no memorable characters, no epic atmosphere, and a plot that is made all the worse by the fact that it has so much potential and they do nothing with it! I expected a lot more from the authors who had written such memorable short stories. Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you try and turn two classic trilogies into a huge, over-marketed series, thus losing everything that made them so good in the first place.

2.0 out of 5 stars As leader of the Heroes he seems defamed., 20 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I named two of my children after characters in the Dragonlance series. It gave me and many others hope, in a world that recently has had little. I originally read the books in 1985 and on and on. Flint's death was OK, it added to the plot. Even Sturms untimely demise was within limits. The latest incarnation, considering how strong the group was, is just simply ludicrous. They have slain all that we have hoped for all these years as followers. A classic never dies it just keeps moving on and on and.... Tracy and Margaret have destroyed the little hope that I have held for mankind and my dreams. BRING BACK OUR HEROES!!!!!!
