ABOUT DRAGONLANCE CHRONICLES

“Before there was Game of Thrones―there was Dragonlance.”—Vox

Rediscover the unforgettable world of the New York Times bestselling Dragonlance series with the first three novels of one of the most popular fantasy series of all time—now featuring a new foreword by Joe Manganiello!

Once merely creatures of legend, the dragons have returned—but with their arrival comes the departure of the old gods, and all healing magic. As war threatens to engulf the land, lifelong friends reunite for an adventure that will change their lives and shape their world forever….

Meet Sturm the Solamnic knight, Tanis Half-Elf, Tasslehoff Burrfoot the irrepressible Kender, Flint the Dwarf, Caramon the warrior and his twin brother, Raistlin the red-robed mage—former comrades together again after five years apart, and looking for adventure.

They find it when they see a woman use a blue crystal staff to heal a villager. Wondering if it’s a sign the gods have not abandoned them after all, they investigate and swiftly find themselves in deep trouble.

The Seekers, members of a new religious order, want the artifact for their own ends, believing it will help them replace the gods and win the continent of Ansalon. Now these old comrades in arms must fight again to prevent the staff from falling into the hands of darkness….

Dragonlance Chronicles features the three novels Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning.

That's great! I began reading Dragonlance to my kid a few years ago after we did LotR. Great bed-time stories.
Interesting. I read them to one of my children years ago and found that they did not make for good “read aloud” stories. The prose doesn’t roll of the tongue nicely. Unlike, say, any given Pratchett novel. Those things were practically made to be read aloud!

I have been cold-reading Joe Abercrombie’s The Blade Itself out loud recently, it’s delightful. Somewhat confusing with getting the character voices right all the time because there is a strange mix of very identifiable and strong characters with some vague and ill defined characters. It’s stretching me a bit. Giving all the Northmen Scottish or Glaswegian accents might help but for half the audience are in US so then they think of Northmen it’s a Canadian accent. The way this story is written, especially the first time we meet Glokta. I have no idea where the story is going yet.
