Dragons of Spring Dawning in Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy"

May 07, 2014 Joseph rated it really liked it · review of another edition

Again, four stars, at least a fraction of which are nostalgia-based. But for all that, once I started reading it required effort to stop. This was the book about which I remembered the least when I picked it up, but it came flooding back quickly enough -- Tanis, torn between the Good Girl and the Bad Girl, Caramon, torn between the Good Barmaid and the Sickly Brother, Raistlin, torn between Power and More Power ...

Highly enjoyable fantasy from back in the day. The third of a trilogy I first reading in high school. The story has held up, and it was fun to visit with old friends. Dragonlance was a big change for TSR back in the day: it was books, it was modules, it was supplements, all for their Dungeons&Dragons line, and all taking place in an all new fantasy world. Great stuff. Really fun.

I read the trilogy, there is a fourth book but it came out years later. The first book was the best, it hooked me on the characters and my favorite characters in the story line. This book wrapped up the initial story thread. I enjoyed all three, the third better than the second as most middle books go just like the movies they prolong the inevitable spreading the story across three books.

Probably the best of the three in the series. With this book everything really heats up and the war comes to a conclusion. Every character faces their own unique challenges and becomes the person they were meant to become.

I loved this series when I was in High School.

I tried to re-read it as an adult, and I understood why I loved it in my teens. As far as fantasy goes, this is a classic read, but it is definitely geared for younger adults.
