Dragons of Summer Flame (Dragonlance: The New Generation, #2)
by Margaret Weis (Goodreads Author), Tracy Hickman (Goodreads Author)
by Margaret Weis (Goodreads Author), Tracy Hickman (Goodreads Author)
This was my first read from the Dragonlance series and I have to say, I was surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. My partner is an avid reader of series and fantasy genre and I challenged myself to read one of his favorite novels; this one was it.
His copy is held together by Scotch tape and the pages are yellowed, evidence of his obvious love for this book. I may just add some more tape to those pages.
Without giving away too much information, this war of the Gods as written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, mimics what our real world seek - world peace.
Rather than fighting for what each race believes in, they band together to fight for the wealth and being of the whole. It really is a powerful message when you think about how this theme threads through the books 580-something pages.
Not to mention, I never planned on crying at the end of this book, but one particular character I grew so attached to. I won't give away who or what happens, but I cried a good several minutes and then laughed and reminded myself the world of Krynn is pure fantasy.
Still I enjoyed living in their world for the hours I did when I delve into this book.

I realized how in love I was with two of the characters. When they died, I actually cried. All in all it was a great story. It dragged a lot in certain places.
Ah i see. I just never give 5 stars unless its a book I know I'll read over and over in the future and recommend to everyone I know. So I was surprised by your rating! But glad it turned out well for you.
For sure I'll read it again. Jon has most of the Dragonlance series, which is like, a gazillion books long. I'm going to start those. About to pick up In The Woods. I'm sure I'll fall in love with it.
