Book Review: A Storied End To A Legend
Summary: 4 Stars
The third book in the series, it picks up a little bit from there the second book fell off.
The characters, who have now had a chance to have fairly large development arcs, are very well fleshed out with solid personalities. Some of them, like Tanis and Tas have really evolved from their original one-dimensional nature. Both are much darker, as one would be if they went through what these guys have, but still seem to have hope. Others changes have been simpler, but still as important to the character. The one character who was intended to change the most, Raistlin, seems to have the least amount of change (for his arc, its better to look at the Twin sereis).
What helps lift this book from the second is that most of the characters come back together. It is always difficult to follow a story if everyone is to split up, and thankfully most of the group comes back together.
The story itself is a bit rougher then the previous two, with several of the sub-plots feeling very rushed to conclusion. The Raistlin plot is also somewhat tiresome, as they have been devoting a lot of time to it, without much happening.
There is one very large bright point, and that is the Weis and Hickman are excellent at writing death scenes. The way the character that dies in this novel is written really choked me up.
This is an excellent fantasy novel and a definite pace setter for the genre.
Summary of Dragons of Spring Dawning (The Dragonlance Chronicles, Vol 3)
The final installment in Weis and Hickman's Chronicles series--Dragonlance's undisputed must-read trilogy--brings on the main event: the Companions vs. the dragons in a knock-down drag-out at the iron works of Pax Tharkas, as the fate of Krynn hangs in the balance. They've mastered the Orbs and picked up the Dragonlance (see Dragons of Winter Night), and things are looking pretty good with the return of the good metallic dragons. But the band soon learns they must do battle with their own inner conflicts if they ever hope to defeat the Dark Queen Takhisis. A bang-up conclusion to Dragonlance's best-loved trilogy. --Paul HughesDragons of Spring Dawning, the concluding episode in the ever-popular Chronicles Trilogy, once again takes listeners on a fantastical journey to Krynn, where friendships are made and lost and destinies finally realized.
Armed at last with the powerful dragonlances, the Companions of the Lance lead their people in a final desperate battle against the destructive dragons. Knight and barbarian, warrior and half-eft, dwarf and kender and dark-souled mage -- none has reckoned how high the price of victory -- or even defeat -- might be. One by one, they must each overcome personal doubts and conflicts -- their only hope if they are to stop the return of the five-headed dragon goddess, Takhisis. Listen and discover how truth and virtue at last triumph over the deadly darkness of an all-consuming evil in this dramatic conclusion to one of fantasy's most legendary tales.
