Back Cover Text: Dragons.
Creatures of legend. Stories told to children.
But now dragons have returned to Krynn. The darkness of war and
destruction engulfs the land.
A small band of heroes brings hope to the land. But the hope
is fragile as a rose and may be lost completely, shattered by the bitter
winds of winter.
Knight and barbarian, warrior and half-elf, dwarf and kender and dark-souled
mage; they begin a perilous search for two artifacts that may help them
or lead to their destruction--
the Dragon Orb
and the legendary Dragonlance.
Review:
This book was Excellent!! This second volume in the Chronicles trilogy
gets quite exciting, with more dragons, more fighting, and the heroes
traveling the span of Ansalon. Character development is at its best
here. For example, Tanis faces his inner torment, and must sort out old
feelings. Raistlin continues to feed his thirst for power.
Laurana is no longer the lovesick elfmaid. In fact, she plays a huge
role in this book. This is a must read after Dragons of Autumn Twilight.
Rating: 10/10.
