much describing of the situation. Makes it a nuisance to read. Just move on instead of telling things again and again in a different way.

9th story: about Huma and his silver dragon (lover) against the dark queen. bloody battles and what not, the usual thus. A giant obelisk being the power source for the queen's army, but then Human launches the dragonlance at it and so the queen does get defeated. Strange, though, how the dark queen cannot avoid that. or is it because she was in human form? Anyway, mediocre story. Battles not that realistic and too

golden eyes. Amberyl dies, though, with the birth. But two of her species come to the rescue of the child. Seems they're ogres. Well, nice story all in all. Nothing super, but a surprising ending.

8th story: Raistlin and Caramon on a journey through Wayreth Forest after Raistlin's test. They stop at the Wayward Inn, which is a shabby place. There the meet a girl, apparently Raistlin feels strange about her presence, they seem to be connected and so on. Strange happenings, Caramon not understanding it all. They leave, Amberyl follows them, she and Raist spend the night together and so Raist has a daughter with

Chieftain's Daughter (Que-shu tribe) Goldmoon is the tribe's priestess. She gets to go see the Hall of the Sleeping Spirits, which opens once every 10 years. She wants to see her deceased mother again, get counsel, ... but for that she needs an escort of two guardians. Candidates have to battle to obtain the role. Riverwind, a sort of outcast, unbeliever, and another one (son of the tribe's historian) wins.

6th story: about young Sturm Brightblade having to go into exile with his mom and maid and seargant Soren to stay alive, as the castle is under attack. The group gets captured, there's black magic involved, etc... but in the end Paladine comes to the rescue and the fellowship can set sail to Solace. All in all, a nice read.

5th story: about a Solamnic knight doing his job in these hard times, as he promised/vowed, even if it meant that people hated him/his Order, and him having to deal with torture and death by the Queen's forces.

4th story: nice read about the companions, how Tas and a kid get caught, how they escape. Not as humourous as when told by W&H, but still very readable, despite a few difficult words (for me, native Dutch speaking) by Nancy. Still, overall, an enjoyable story, thanks to Tas. ;-)

3rd story: Darken Wood, stag and unicorn, draconians... a story about love, revenge (for not being/seeing loved back), comradship, good vs evil, thinking in the general interest instead of own problems, ... nothing fancy, sometimes a drag or childish.

1st story: ok, simple, but it's not a nice message about loved ones entwined with each other.

2nd story: dragon! ok story, nothing fancy though. Easy read.
