[OT] Just finished Dragonlance: War of Souls Volume I

[uv23]

Well I bought the book a few weeks ago but I didn't get around to it until this weekend, and basically ended up reading the whole thing yesterday and this morning. I read chronicles, legends and a whack of the crappy stand alone novels 8 to 10 years ago so it had been a while. And I never read the chaos war series.

All in all, I really enjoyed the book. I forgot how tasty lawful evil could be. I like the transition of the Knights of Takhisis into the Knights of Neraka but I have to say that I'm put off by all the time travel crap (which is kind of funny since the story revolves around it.) All I can say is that if everything ends up getting "undone" because of some BS time travel paradox, I'm going to renounce Weiss & Hickman forever. I'll probably pick up the second book tomorrow.

For those who have read the second (and the third if its out), how is it? No spoilers, just general comments of enjoyability.

Cheers.

If that were to happen I would dance in the street singing praises of Wies and Hickman for restoring a setting I loved to it's past glory after what TSR did to it.

I actualy found the second book more enjoyable than the first.

Did a lot of nasty things happen in the chaos war series? Were they good nasty or just lame nasty? I'm a big fan of dark and gritty so as much as I loved the old dragonlance novels, I must say I enjoy current affairs. Besides, where's the fun in overcoming evil if its too easy.
