A Compelling, ground-breaking, highly imaginative tale from the most phenomenonally popular fantasy authors since J.R.R. Tolkien.

Creatures of legend, the dragons have returned to Krynn. Now, the darkness of war threatens to engulf the land. Then hope appears -- a blue crystal staff in the hands of a beautiful bar barian woman. The promise of this hope forces a group of long-time friends into the unlikely roles of heroes: Tanis Half-Elven, their leader, a skilled warrior who detests fighting and is tormented by love for two women; Sturm Brightblade, Knight of Solamnia, driven to restore the honor of the knighthood; Raistlin Majere, the powerful and unsettling magic-user, whose hourglass-shaped eyes conceal dark mysteries; Caramon, Raistlin's twin, a genial giant both loved and feared by his brother; Flint Fireforge, the gruff old dwarven fighter, almost a father to them all; and Tasselhoff Burrfoot, a kender, the nuisance race of Krynn, immune to fear and followed by trouble wherever he goes.

These are the warm, memorable characters of Dragons of Autumn Twilight who bring alive the fantasy world of Krynn, a land millions of listeners will want to return to again and again.

    Horribly constructed prose, driven by an endless stream of cliches, and lacking any foundation in plot.

    I remember seeing this book on the shelf at the bookstore that I frequented as a teenager. The cover intrigued me enough to buy it and thus started my love of fantasy fiction. This book ended up sparking my interest in writing my own fantasy novels. I recently re-read the trilogy and found them a bit light and somewhat juvenile at times, (the authors seem to have a rather lame sense of humor) but certainly not the worst fantasy novels I have read.

    I read this when I was teenager. I honestly remember little of this novel. I cared very little for Raistlin and Tanis' dilemma over choosing Kit or Laurana. It seemed an easy choice to me. I thought Tas was annoying and distracting to the storyline and Caramon's co-dependency on Raistlin was boring. I read for the character of Laurana and Silvara, the wild elf who was actually a silver dragon in disguise. The fact that the god paladine, acts like a bumbling wizard meddling in the human affairs is a ridiculous attempt at humor and fails miserably.
