A Man With An Agenda
A Man With An Agenda rated it 5 years ago
I'm just a sucker for punishment, so I'm going to keep going down the Dragonlance rabbit-hole a few more books. Unlike other recent reviews, this Dragonlance novel was new to me. It represented a return by Weis and Hickman to TSR in 1994, after the fairly successful 'Darksword' and 'Rose of the Pr...

Reading this over again, it felt like a lot of padding had been added to make these books into a marketable trilogy. 'Test of the Twins' follows Caramon and Tasslehoff's terrible vision of a future where Raistlin succeeds, Tanis teaming up with Dalamar, more Kitiara (urgh), and Raistlin's journey ...

A cliff-hanger ending is a sure way to make me pick up the next book in a series, if only to glance at the opening chapters and see what happens. The Cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins. Caramon, Crysania and Raistlin emerge in the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas but clearly at a tim...

I had fond memories of the Dragonlance 'Chronicles', but it was the 'Legends' trilogy that stuck with me through the years. Time travel, deep lore, and epic battles form a backdrop to a pair of seriously screwed up brothers. At the end of 'Dragons of Spring Dawning' Raistlin had come into some ser...

I may need to re-read the first one, but these books seem to be a bit disjointed sometimes. 1. Author is a woman : League of Dragons by Naomi Novik 8. Author's last name begins with the letters E, F, G, or H. : Winter in Eden by Harry Harrison 13. Author is a man : Return to Eden by Harry Har...

After the defeat of the Dragonarmies at the High Clerist's tower Laurana is named as the General of the armies of Solamnia and, by default, Palanthas. Her leadership and her brother Gilthanas' persuading the good dragons to join the fight against evil means a quick turnaround of the war, the battles...

This is continuing to be a rewarding re-read. 'Dragons of Autumn Twilight' was a by-the-numbers D&D campaign by an author team who were still developing their collaboration skills. 'Winter Night' is where the writer's can pull away from the events as dictated by the published adventures and break ne...

I picked up the annotated copy of the whole trilogy a few years ago at a book sale along with some other Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms titles. I'd owned and purged them before, but something itched at me to not let them go by this time. The plot begins as many campaigns should - in an inn and i...

I somewhat confusing, fast-paced, action-packed conclusion (with plot holes) to the adventures of Haplo, Alfred and Dog. The Seventh Gate is the final book in the series and won't make much sense unless you have read the previous 6 books. The DeathGate Cycle has numerous issues with plot, continu...

This is the 6th novel in the Death Gate Cycle and won't make much sense unless you have read the previous 5 books. Into the Labyrinth continues the action packed story of Haplo, Alfred, and Dog, who have been stranded in the deadly Labyrinth; and of Xar who is hell-bent on conquering the world via ...
