Dragons of Autumn Twilight Dragonlance Chronicles Volume I Margaret Weis Tracy Hickman Books

When readers, especially younger ones, ask me what fantasy novels to read after going through “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” by Tolkien, I usually tell them to check out “The Dragonlance Chronicles” by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. That trilogy starts off with “Dragons of Autumn Twilight,” a book I adored as a child and returned to three decades later.

There are problems to be sure. The writing is often clunky and, as the authors admit in their notes in the “Annotated Chronicles,” they fell into the traps associated with TSR producing a series of RP modules at the same time as the books, especially where “Autumn Twilight” was concerned. Characters often make strange decisions so the plot can flow and the humor goes from funny to forced in the blink of an eye. There are far too many heroes at the end of the book with almost 15 characters in the main party. Needless to say, some of the characters simply get lost (including one who was crucial at the start of the book and basically ignored by the end of it). Going through TOR’s reread of the books--which is worth looking at--I found myself nodding my head far too often as the reviewers pointed out the various problems.

But these problems pale in comparison to a fine book. Weis and Hickman do an amazing job at introducing the characters at the start of “Autumn Twilight” and do a fine job of guiding them through various adventures. The battles scenes are often excellent. Many of the heroes stand out as do some of the villains. Readers who enjoy fantasy novels should enjoy this book and exploring the lovingly crafted world of Krynn.

Sure, there are too many cliches. Yes, Weis and Hickman keep tripping over TSR’s modules. There are way too many characters fighting for attention toward the end of “Autumn Twilight.” These kind of problems would undermine most books. That doesn’t happen here thanks to a fun plot in constant motion and some strong and intriguing characters. Even after three decades, “Autumn Twilight” holds up very well. Highly recommended.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight Dragonlance Chronicles Volume I Margaret Weis Tracy Hickman Books Reviews

I read this book back in 1986, and i never forgot it. I was sitting one day and it randomly crossed my mind, I decided to test myself and write a list of all of the ,main characters from memory. I only lost Tika "Waylan's" and Kitiara "Uth Matar's" last name to 30 years of time. The Dragonlance Chronicles will be held to my heart as something I have loved since I read the first sentence. So I bought the DragonLance Chronicles in the format.
This book truly sets the standard for Fantasy Novels. I remember first reading this book (along with the other 2) in highschool during my freshman and softmore year. They amount of joy I had reading through the pages is something I'll always remember. Each word paints a vivid picture in your mind. The characters, each and every one, are lovable and distinct. You will find yourself truly attached to their adventure, anxiously waiting to turn the page to discover what is going to happen. As the story unfolds, you'll start to notice that you read more and more every time you open the book. One used to be a chapter a day turned into 4 chapters back to back.

It's simple, this book and its trilogy will change the way you see other books. this will be what you compare all other books of this nature to. As said before, I read these books in highschool, I recently purchased the entire trilogy plus 2 others of the same story line about 2 weeks ago. I was 15 then, I'm 26 now, and let me tell you... 11 years later, this book is even better! You will laugh, you will have anxiety, your jaw will dropped from shock, you may even cry. The authors imagined a world that will become familiar, as if it's a real place you can travel to. You may find yourself day dreaming of its contents. Whether you a RPG fantasy nerd or just a person with a great imagination, young or old, this is a book for everyone to enjoy. A book I highly recommend. May it's pages bring you as much joy as they did for me.
Fantastic series, especially for gamers. However, be advised that there are numerous formatting errors in the kindle edition.

In many places, there is no double spaced paragraphs to indicate a scene change within the same chapter. The result is a jarring sudden scene change, sometimes appearing as if a character elsewhere is replying to a character in the previous scene.
The first time I read this book was close to 30 years ago (ouch). Enough volumes have passed before my eyes and through my thoughts that there was much I’d forgotten. The best books are those you can read and then return back to, like an old friend, to visit again.

Weiss & Hickman have always been excellent storytellers that are vivid in their descriptions of surroundings as much as character development. I can imagine the smell of burning vallenwood as Ember, the red dragon, attacks. Fizban and Tasselhoff add much-needed brevity to the adventure. Raistlan, the mage, still gives me the creeps.

If you’ve ever played Dungeons and Dragons (or even its video grandchildren Legend of Zelda, Skyrim, or Baldur’s Gate), reading these books is like starting out on a new game or campaign. As always with me, no spoilers! Basically this is a classic epic fantasy of companions on a quest to save the land they love. They will battle hobgoblins, ghosts, zombies, and dragons on the journey. You’ll laugh, you may cry, but you won’t want to put it down.

That’s all the hints you’ll get from me. Open the cover for yourself and make the journey to the magical world of Krynn.
