   No current Talk conversations about this book.  Karlstar | Jun 10, 2018 |   Book 11, if I am counting correctly, in the main Dragonlance saga. Here, the world has been shattered by a second cataclysm and a new age has begun. Yet another round of new characters, mixed in with a delightful array of old, enter upon the scene, as does a new world order with new magic and new gods. I think this trilogy shows a marked increase in complexity and maturity in the storytelling - no longer is the tale a simple 2 or 3 pronged adventure rooted in AD&D. The distinctions between good and evil blur ever farther, champions battle champions and undeserving heroes spring into power. I was left craving more, and luckily was able to dive into the thousands of pages if this fantastic world.

These books are much longer than the original trilogy and cover a lot of territory. The authors clearly wanted to go in a different direction and for the most part, they succeeded. (
