Summary

The first new Dragonlance novel from Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman in over a decade， and featuring fan-favorite characters from the iconic first two trilogies， Dragonlance Chronicles and Dragonlance Legends--books that brought a generation of readers into the fantasy fold。

Destina Rosethorn--as her name implies--believes herself to be very much a favored child of destiny。 But when her father dis in the War of the Lance， her carefully-constructed world comes crashing down。 Not only does she lost her beloved father， but the legacy he has left her: a wealthy fiance， and rule over the family lands and castle。 With nothing left in the world to support her but wits and determination， she hatches a bold plan: to secure the Device of Time Journeying she read about in one of her father's books and prevent her father's death。

The last known holder of the Device was one of the Heroes of the Lance: the free-spirited kender， Tasselhoff Burrfoot。 BUt when Destina arrives in Solace--home not only to Tas， but to fellow heroes Caramon and Tika Majere--she sets into motion a chain of events more deadly than she had ever anticipated: one that could change not only her personal history， but the fate of the entire world， allowing a previously-defeated evil to once again gain ascendancy。

The original trilogy really brought me into the fantasy fold。 This was a nice touch of nostalgia mixed with a little more lender craziness。

Returning to Dragonlance after so long， I didn't know what entirely to expect。 The authors have had decades to refine their craft。 But the world has also changed since the 80s。 Dragons of Deceit spends more time building its story than the breakneck pace of the original trilogy。 But there are also parts that show the age of the worldbuilding， that made me cringe。 Still， reading new Dragonlance is like sitting down at a comfortable， well-worn and familiar desk。 Returning to Dragonlance after so long， I didn't know what entirely to expect。 The authors have had decades to refine their craft。 But the world has also changed since the 80s。 Dragons of Deceit spends more time building its story than the breakneck pace of the original trilogy。 But there are also parts that show the age of the worldbuilding， that made me cringe。 Still， reading new Dragonlance is like sitting down at a comfortable， well-worn and familiar desk。 。。。more

This is a difficult book for me to review。 Dragonlance was my favorite series for so much of my youth。 The main stories and characters hold a sacred place in my heart。 The best parts of Dragons of Deceit are when we see these classic characters or references to the wider world and people。 It just felt awesome to be back in this universe。 Sadly， there are a lot of issues outside of that nostalgia factor: First， the book has way too many typos。 There was at least half a dozen that stuck out。 That This is a difficult book for me to review。 Dragonlance was my favorite series for so much of my youth。 The main stories and characters hold a sacred place in my heart。 The best parts of Dragons of Deceit are when we see these classic characters or references to the wider world and people。 It just felt awesome to be back in this universe。 Sadly， there are a lot of issues outside of that nostalgia factor: First， the book has way too many typos。 There was at least half a dozen that stuck out。 That is way too many for a finished， edited book。 It almost felt like an ARC。 Second， there is a lot of repetition in this book。 I am not even talking about the repetitive nature of this being a time travel story with Tas。 Certain phrases and descriptions are repeated several times over throughout the story。 I have a problem with those types of things when it feels like the author thinks the reader is dumb。 That is not the case here。 It just felt like the editors did not catch that these descriptions had been done prior and could be cut from the text。 It brought down the overall quality of the writing。Lastly， the main character is so annoying and wishy washy。 The way her personhood is described in the beginning seems to fly in the face of her actions at the end。 It was frustrating。 Not to mention Tas being a large part of the book。 He always makes me anxious and frustrated。I do not want to end this on a sour note。 The tension in the third part of the book is incredible。 It had me on the edge of my seat。 And it leaves things in an interesting place for the second book of the trilogy （this is definitely one of those books that is setting up the next more than giving a complete story on its own）。 I will definitely pick up the rest of the series despite the flaws。 But that is because of my fandom。 This is not a good book for someone to start in Dragonlance。 Possibly not a good book at all。 I cannot really tell。 And I guess I do want to end this on a sour note。 。。。more

I’m really torn on this book。 It’s a new entry into one of my favorite worlds from when I was a kid， Dragonlance， and we get to interact with a bunch of my old favorite characters， and there truly were some charming moments in it。 However， I found the main character of this novel to be stupid and selfish and stubborn and one-dimensional， and the story revolves around a ridiculous plot trope that I found to be wholly uninspiring。 I don’t really want to put any spoilers， but the main character Des I’m really torn on this book。 It’s a new entry into one of my favorite worlds from when I was a kid， Dragonlance， and we get to interact with a bunch of my old favorite characters， and there truly were some charming moments in it。 However， I found the main character of this novel to be stupid and selfish and stubborn and one-dimensional， and the story revolves around a ridiculous plot trope that I found to be wholly uninspiring。 I don’t really want to put any spoilers， but the main character Destinia actively makes the worst possible choices at every single turn， and I found her justifications for doing so to be severely lacking。 I found no empathy for her and about halfway through the book began rooting against her， though I knew she would ultimately succeed。 The parts of this book that I enjoyed were almost all purely because of nostalgia and for that I’ll give it three stars， as I feel like the writing was not amazing， but consistent with the series and the old characters that return for this book are done true to form。 I’ll likely read more in this series once it comes out， in hopes that our “heroine” grows the fuck up， and for more hopefully good nostalgia， but I really hope I enjoy the rest of this series more than this first book。 The final redeeming quality is that this book has likely set the stage for an interesting story， but I don’t care for the way it go there。 。。。more

It's a quick read， but reads like poorly written fan fiction。 Maybe it was meant for kids？ I wasn't expecting anything as good as the OG， but this was like new Star Wars trilogy level bad。。。 if the new trilogy was done on a SyFy channel budget。 It's a quick read， but reads like poorly written fan fiction。 Maybe it was meant for kids？ I wasn't expecting anything as good as the OG， but this was like new Star Wars trilogy level bad。。。 if the new trilogy was done on a SyFy channel budget。 。。。more

Honestly， for nearly 2/3 of the book I wasn't sure I'd finish it。 There are a number of editing errors and cut and paste descriptions that keep getting repeated。 I found myself wondering if this is even my favorite authors' work， it felt that different from their other work。It's only the last few chapters that caused me to give 3 stars。 At the very end （even though there were still editing errors） the fun and excitement and drama of Dragonlance returned。 Honestly， for nearly 2/3 of the book I wasn't sure I'd finish it。 There are a number of editing errors and cut and paste descriptions that keep getting repeated。 I found myself wondering if this is even my favorite authors' work， it felt that different from their other work。It's only the last few chapters that caused me to give 3 stars。 At the very end （even though there were still editing errors） the fun and excitement and drama of Dragonlance returned。 。。。more

3。5 stars。 It’s an okay YA story resting heavily on nostalgia and an ambitious “reboot” of the timeline （it’s set pre-Summer Flame）。 The amount of random name dropping， often with minimal relevance， reminded me of a Ready Player One-style of fan service。 The main character has potential but became somewhat tedious and lacking development and depth in the latter half of the book。 It was still a fun read for what it was。 It was relaxing to revisit familiar characters and places。 Those who have not 3。5 stars。 It’s an okay YA story resting heavily on nostalgia and an ambitious “reboot” of the timeline （it’s set pre-Summer Flame）。 The amount of random name dropping， often with minimal relevance， reminded me of a Ready Player One-style of fan service。 The main character has potential but became somewhat tedious and lacking development and depth in the latter half of the book。 It was still a fun read for what it was。 It was relaxing to revisit familiar characters and places。 Those who have not read the original six in a long time will likely enjoy it （and the heavy fan service references） the most — as well as those that disliked Summer Flame。 No one should read this expecting the next great fantasy novel， but I expect most DL fans will enjoy it for what it is。 I do think it ends on an interesting note and the remainder of the trilogy has potential。 There was a lot of space devoted to trying to make the reboot make sense， but with that out of the way the second book should have a lot more freedom。 。。。more

An enjoyable read， if a little too repetitive （what with Tas and time-travel being central to the plot once again）， but I liked the overlap with the original Chronicles 。 。 。 and the last few chapters， with what they promise for the next book， have me genuinely excited for the next book。

Couldn’t do it。 Wasn’t bad， so I don’t know if I’ve outgrown this or what。 Wasn’t feeling Destina， she was kind of dumb and spoiled， and we’re clearly just using this all for another reboot。 Just not for me at this time。

When I was a kid， a camp counselor recommended the Chronicles trilogy， so I decided to binge it during spring break of the next year。 Then I decided to read the Legends trilogy。 I hadn't thought much about Dragonlance since that sixth grade semester。。。until I read a blurb about this upcoming book。 Thus far， the exposition is somewhat extensive for yours truly， but I can also see it acting as an effective refresher for returning readers （ditto for new readers）。 I'm still partial to the late 1980s When I was a kid， a camp counselor recommended the Chronicles trilogy， so I decided to binge it during spring break of the next year。 Then I decided to read the Legends trilogy。 I hadn't thought much about Dragonlance since that sixth grade semester。。。until I read a blurb about this upcoming book。 Thus far， the exposition is somewhat extensive for yours truly， but I can also see it acting as an effective refresher for returning readers （ditto for new readers）。 I'm still partial to the late 1980s-early 1990s Larry Elmore covers and Jeffrey Butler's interior chapter page illustrations for the early printings， but the Ulrich cover recoups the art of Chronicles and Legends to a certain extent。 The Chronicles， at least， were all about the collision of war and reexamination of messianic cultural memory with group dynamics and interpersonal relationships。 The authors emphasized the latter throughout the trilogy， more than even the LOTR first book's "fellowship。" In all fairness， at the end of the dramatis personae prefacing the inaugural volume---which inexplicably excludes the key character of Laurana， introduced halfway through this first installment and illustrated on the second book's Elmore cover--- two brief sentences prepared the unsuspecting mass market consumer: "The eight are given the power to save the world。 But first they must learn to understand themselves---and each other。" This brief statement now seems trite for the young adult fantasy genre， but in the late 1980s/early 1990s， it was most assuredly novel。The characters of Tanis and Raistlin stand out in my mind， and I'm sure in the collective subconscious of fantasydom。 Although one character in the group admittedly came close， I had never encountered fantasy or sci-fi books without a clear prophesied savior （LOTR potentially notwithstanding and not to imply that messianic narratives aren't enticing）。 The trilogy， and the group， were not defined by a preordained protagonist with supporting characters， or a supporting character who became the focus of the entire narrative。 A martyr proved manifest in distant pasts， but the group and narrative explored that individual's actions and consequences for pressing reasons。 The narrative began with a bucolic arboreal tavern and then gradually descended into a nightmare， both figurative and literal。 I recall that one of my major gripes with the Chronicles was the delayed arrival of the "dragons for the light" after a character （first book） inadvertently glimpsed a tapestry-portrait relic from those distant pasts。 An elderly person erased that character's short-term memory---for certain reasons---of this visual depiction of "dragons for the light" dogfighting the "dragons of evil" that had already arrived to plague the current world， with mounted pilots wielding a long-lost weapon （you can probably guess what that weapon was in the tapestry-portrait）。 I won't disclose how long it took， but mini-me anticipated the return of the "dragons for the light" and introduction of that long-lost weapon in every chapter and book thereafter。 Don't wait up at night for it， but the return does come。Also， I wouldn't assume， as one ye olde preadolescent did， that all consociational aspects of the story work out in the end。 The last chapter of the Chronicles trilogy， "The End。 For Good or For Evil。，" introduced me to a nihilism of sorts and made me more aware of the perils of manichaeism， in the context of "light and evil。" Individual impulses and aims were important， for better or for worse。。。and not solely in the realm of "for good or for evil。" Likewise， the non-linear time-travel Legends trilogy made me more aware of potential ephemerality in lust， sex， and obsession as well as， on a different note， the potential toxicities， and advantages， of filial bonds。 That said， and despite its bildungsroman dimensions， my eleven-year-old counterpart found Laurana's character arc quite compelling in Chronicles。 No spoilers， but I'm quite certain that almost all readers recall， or will remember， that chapter when death unexpectedly knocks on her psychological door。 I was actually disappointed when she didn't appear in Legends。Gender， sexuality， race， ethnicity， etc。？ The previous books surprisingly handled most of the heterosexual encounters well。 Notably absent were major LGBTQIA+ characters， although I recall hints of bisexuality in certain female characters。 Given Laurana's character development and the identity of a （decidedly） villainous foil， along with Goldmoon's role in the story and relationship with Riverwind， the narrative did engage with gender， although I defer to critical appraisals。 On that note， Goldmoon and Riverwind hailed from indigenous populations。 Astinus of Palanthas， the ageless "Keeper of the Chronicles" and presumed narrator of the Chronicles and Legends trilogies， initially referred to Goldmoon and Riverwind as "barbarians。" That reference dissipated as the rest of the group critically approached the concept of "barbarians，" yet still adorned the back-cover summation of the first book in early printings。 Dragons of Deceit， the initial book in this new planned trilogy， eschews "barbarian" altogether， except in a centuries-old mythology transcribed within a library book （avoiding spoilers here）。 The narrator deploys "tribe" twice in the opening chapters， but seems to favor the names of indigenous communities。 In addition， I intentionally use "indigenous" because I'm uncertain whether their communities represented a Gaelic-Native American intersection or Goldmoon's description （and illustration） was an implicit criticism of hypodescent in fantasy biopolitics。 An additional issue was indigeneity and the elves， "dwarves，" etc。 Theros Ironfeld， whose description almost corresponded， at least partly， to a man of indigenous African descent， contributed significantly to the plot （again， avoiding spoilers here）， but was not a central character。 Moreover， Ironfeld's illustrations almost exclusively cast him in shadow or， alternatively， darkness with a slight illumination。 No LatinX， continental Asian， additional intersections， etc。 Ah， 1980s-early '90s young adult fantasy。 I'm curious as to how Destina， with a mother who is/was apparently tribal， will fare in these books。。。and I'm glad that character appellations have moved beyond the endearing "Burrfoot， "Fireforge，" etc。 Non-spoiler reviews indicate a non-linear time-travel narrative back to the period of the Chronicles trilogy， so I hope that I don't have to read all of the offshoot books that came after。 Critics and readers seem to like this new entry， so I will reciprocate and update。 。。。more

is the best Dragonlance book since THE SECOND GENERATION。 Unfortunately， that's saying quite a bit since that includes DRAGONS OF A SUMMER FLAME， THE WAR OF SOULS， and THE DARK DISCIPLE books。 I haven't read THE LOST CHRONICLES yet， but I feel like it is hard to capture the magic of THE DRAGONLANCE CHRONICLES and DRAGONLANCE LEGENDS。Anyway， Destina Rosethorn， my one complaint being her name sounds like it came from Harry Potter fanfic， is a young Solamnic Knight's daughter during the War of the Lance。 Her father doesn't believe in the gods， but her mother does。 After a series of unfortunate events result in Destina losing her father， castle， fiance， and self-respect， she proceeds to hatch upon a plan to use the Device of Time Journeying ot save her father from death at the High Clerist's Tower。Much of the book's humor derives from the fact that Destina's plan is utterly insane and incredibly ill-considered from beginning to end。 It is also hypocritical as she spends a lot of the book talking about her disdain for magic and wizards while depending on a device that is unquestionably magic。 The fact she chooses to involve the Graygem in this， which many book fans will know from Dragons of Summer Flame， is another layer of stupidity on a stupid sandwich。This isn't a complaint about the book because Destina's plan is actually somewhat endearing。 We've all lost someone and would love to see them return if we had the right magic to do so。 Watching her blunder forward with not one， but two of the most powerful mystical artifacts in existence is even more humorous than Tasslehoff Burrfoot ever was。 Especially when she starts mucking with the timeline like if Rosencratz and Guildenstern decided to tell Hamlet's mother that her current husband murdered her late husband。Speaking of Tasslehoff， much of the book is about how Destina can't outwit him。 Which is hard to really summarize the full meaning of that sentence。 She。cannot。outwit。Tasslehoff。 I love Destina and she's a wonderfully fun girl but while she may have an INT score of 12 or 13， she absolutely must have either the lowest WIS score on Krynn or is consistently rolling 1's on her Diplomacy or Sense Motive checks。 Tasslehoff runs rings around her and that， honestly， is the best evidence I can think of that a character is a complete moron。 How bad is she at this？ I mean， beyond trying to alter time and space with an object the gods can't control to save her father versus， I dunno， calling her father's ghost up to contest his will or finding Elistan or Crysania to resurrect him？ Asking Astinus to confirm that her father left her keep to her rather than his evil nephew？ Straight up murdering her evil cousin and his wife？ I mean， still incredibly extreme measures but a little less insane is all I'm saying。 Well， Tasslehoff and she end up married。 No， I'm not going to explain the circumstances。Dragons of Summer Flame ended the Dragonlance epic in many fan's eyes with the assumption being that Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman were attempting to wrap it all up before WOTC took it away from。 Mostly because they've been trying to undo the changes to the setting for the past couple of decades。 Many fans are assuming this trilogy is going to be yet another attempt and be a bit like DC's FLASHPOINT PARADOX。 Is Dragons of Deceit going to do that？ Honestly， I don't know， but it's heavily implied that the Second Cataclysm is something everyone wants to avert。 The fact Dalamar and the other High Sorcery mages see it coming as well as desire to stop it is an argument by itself。 They certainly didn't know about it in the original timeline。 It's also described not in "oh， humanity finally can make its own way！" terms but， "Oh my god， a world without gods and magic after we just got them back？ That is monstrous！" Which， honestly， I think is how they would react so no complaints from me there。I love this book。 I love Destina， who feels real both because and despite the fact she is the dumbest person in Krynn。 We have way too many incredibly clever protagonists。 Dungeons and Dragons was founded on people who see the Necronomicon and forget the magic words to use it safely。 There's even a nod to this when the Hand of Vecna is sold to some gullible Black Robe mages with instructions to chop parts off themselves。 Yet， I felt her pain and her very real-life problems that were relatable to all of us that struggled after the death of a loved one。 Plus， some old favorites may or may not be back from the dead。 。。。more
