[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 1786702, member: 8461"] [I]Amber and Ashes[/I], the first book of the Dark Disciple trilogy, builds directly off of the War of Souls trilogy ([I]Dragons of a Fallen Sun[/I], [I]Dragons of a Lost Star[/I], and [I]Dragons of a Vanished Moon[/I]). The War of Souls trilogy builds off of [I]Dragons of Summer Flame[/I]. (Some people say that between [I]Dragons of Summer Flame[/I] and the War of Souls trilogy, you should also read the Dragons of a New Age trilogy, which consists of [I]The Dawning of a New Age[/I], [I]The Day of the Tempest[/I], and [I]The Eve of the Maelstrom[/I], and it's sequel, the Dhamon trilogy, which consists of [I]Downfall[/I], [I]Betrayal[/I], and [I]Redemption[/I], but because these two trilogies have a different author than the rest of the series, they are not necessary, and many don't consider them part of the "main line" of DL novels). [I]Dragons of Summer Flame[/I] builds directly off of [I]The Second Generation[/I]. [I]The Second Generation[/I] builds off of the Legends trilogy ([I]Time of the Twins[/I], [I]War of the Twins[/I], and [I]Test of the Twins[/I]). The Legends trilogy builds directly off of the Chronicles trilogy ([I]Dragons of Autumn Twilight[/I], [I]Dragons of Winter Night[/I], and [I]Dragons of Spring Dawning[/I]). Some people would also say that you should read the Raistlin Chronicles ([I]The Soulforge[/I] and [I]Brothers in Arms[/I]) before the Chronicles trilogy, but because these two books are written as a prequel, they may be somewhat spoiling, albeit slightly, for the Chronicles trilogy. There are many, many other DL books, but the ones outlined above are, for the most part, the "main line" of the series. My recommendation is that you start with the Chronicles trilogy (or the Raistlin Chronicles, if you're so inclined), and follow the sequential order. That will give you the most enjoyment and sense of development for the world. Many of the later books take it on faith that you've read the earlier ones, not so much for information, but for understanding the tone of the world, making the later stories all the more dramatic by comparison. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
