after test of the twins, comes the second generation

I was told by a friend that this book was not as good as chronicles or legends. So I didn't buy it or read it. I've found that to have been a mistake, since the book it very good. It binds together events happening in the test of the twins and the dragons of summer flame. It may not involve the old heroes of the lance as much as previous books but brings fort new heroes, and foes. I'd recommend this book to any dragonlance reader.

Good stories

When i first heard of this book, i thought it was a novel. But when i bought it i was suprised to find that it was actually a bunch of short stories, dealing with the children of the heros of the lance. That fact didnt discourage me at all as i read the book. Most of the stories were very good, and very entertaining. They were filled with a lot of action, though some of them were emotional. This is a must read before reading Dragons of Summer Flame. It brings to life many of the characters that are big players in that book. I finished this book in a day, it was very well written, and pulls you into all of the stories. I highly recommend it to all dragonlance fans.

At last

A great book. For those of us who have missed the skilled hands in these stories we are not dissappointed. It is good to be back on Kryn.

The Children of Heros, follow the path of their parents.

This is the first and definetly not the last Dragonlance book I have read. The only reason I did not give this book a 10 is that if I read a better Dragonlance book (which is very unlikely) there will be no way to put it above this one. Even without knowing the stories of the Heros of the Lance I could follow this book. This book is comprised of several short stories which are all very intriguing. Caramon and Tanis go on another adventure to try and convert Kitiara's son to the path of light. Tanis Half-Elven's son is kidnapped and becomes a very important member of Elven society. Palin Majere is sent to the Abyss where he is sent to find Raistlin and take his test. The rumor of Raistlin having a daughter is proven to be true. The mother of the child is completely unexpected. Sturm, Tanin, and Palin Majere go on their first adventure together. They are tricked into searching for the Graygem with a god. A true Dragonlance fan must read this action packed novel to see what happens to these new heros. I look foward to reading Dragons of Summer Flame to learn about the continuing adventures of these new heros
