Brothers in Arms

By far the most readable of the Dragonlance books. All of the main characters had compelling storylines, the dialogue was well-written, there was no filler, and best yet, there were no annoying NPCs. The half-Kender character was actually more sensible than the humans at times, and the only chaotic stupid character was a dragon antagonist whose constant sabotage of his companions was portrayed as odious rather than amusing.

I didn't realize that this book would also feature Kitiara. To be perfectly honest, she's my least favorite of the "major" characters. Still, I enjoyed the second half of her story more than the first half, and I enjoyed the Raistlin/Caramon storyline very much. I also enjoyed the new character Scrounger, and hopefully he returns in other stories.

A deeper look into my favorite character, Raistlin Majere, after taking the Test in the Tower of High Sorcery at Wayreth. This is an excellent book that shows how Raistlin came to find out some of the secrets that his Staff of Magius held and how Caramon progressed from a farm hand to a mercenary soldier. This book details the twins joining the mercenary army of the Mad Baron, Baron Ivor of Langtree. An excellent read if you are looking to find out more about the twins and their half sister, Kitiara.

Knap, zeer knap geschreven. En hoewel het draaide rond de broertjes Majere, vind ik ook hier dat er nog veel materiaal is voor een vervolg met dan eventueel de nadruk op Kitiara bijv. en hoe ze verder in het leger evolueerde. Maar mss komt er ooit wel een dergelijk vervolg.

After passing the Test of High Sorcery an arrogant but inexperienced young mage joins a mercenary company with his oafish but earnest twin brother at his side.
