It’s not literature. The books will probably never be considered to be even close to a fantasy classic.... It borrows most of its concepts and plot elements from The Lord of the Rings. Its dialogue is simple and even anachronistic at times... But having said that, when it came out back in 1984-1985, the story quickly became the favorite of many readers and its popularity just grew....

Despite its pitfalls, what made Dragonlance Chronicles loved by many...? Well, in the simple way the authors tell their story, they made the characters seem “real”.... For that reason, the authors make it easier to relate to the characters and make people actually care for them.

It is through the characters that we are transported to the continent of Ansalon and see it through their eyes. And there lies the magic of Dragonlance Chronicles, a clichéd and flawed story but with wonderful and timeless characters that will live forever inside those of us who have been fortunate enough to get to know them.

Fantasy war saga contains meddling gods, terrifying dragons, and so many major characters only one is interesting. ( )

Dragonlance Chronicles is a classic series that should be read by everyone who claims to enjoy the fantasy genre. This is not the version they should read though. This version is called the "Collectors Edition", but if you are a collector the version you will want is The Annotated Chronicles. If you want to actually read the story and not just collect it I suggest the original paperbacks, they are much more comfortable to read and usually a bit cheaper on the used market. ( )

The Dragonlance Chronicles are one of the great fantasy epics of all time (IMHO). A quest, dragons, a fellowship of good, a world at war, magic - it has it all. This omnibus collects the original trilogy (Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night and Dragons of Spring Dawning) in one beautiful, leatherbound edition. It has gilt edging and a simple, but elegant, holograpphic cover design. Highly recommended! ( )
