Into the DragonLance world trying to finish up my stack of Fantasy novels I have laying around. This has been sitting on my shelf for a few years now. What a great read. This is one of the better DragonLance trilogies that I’ve read in a long time. Explained a lot of history and fit pretty well into the timeline of the rest of the world. The dwarven nations were always one of the lesser understood cultures in the dragonlance world from my prior readings. This series really opened up my understanding and like for the Dwarves. Still a few things that I’ll have to piece together from other sources, but overall, well worth the read and critical to the overall understanding of the Dwarves.

Colin Diente de Tiedra es el líder de la tribu enana de los clalnar, en el reino de Thorin. Las hordas de un perverso mago atacan dicho reino y ponen fin a una época y un estilo de vida. Colin y parte de su pueblo se exilian, adoptando el nombre de hylars, en busca de la tierra prometida que un anciano de la tribu ha visto en sueño. Viajan a través de Ansalon y se encuentran con multitud de fugitivos de la guerra desatada en Silvanesti entre elfos y dragones. Llegan a las montañas Kharolis y allí conocen a varios clanes enanos, con los que establecen un pacto del que nacerá un gran reino: Thorbardin. Pero los problemas no se acaban ahí, puesto que un asesino va a provocar la guerra civil...
Kurzweilige Unterhaltung.
Krynn durch die Augen der Zwerge. Mal was Anderes als sonst immer.
Erfrischend.
