I just finished this book, one of the new "In Between-quals" for the Dragonlance trilogy. Anyone else reading these?

I loved the Chronicles Trilogy, but was always pissed the way books 2 and 3 started with "Oh, and by the way, this OTHER cool adventure happened while you weren't looking."

DODD fits perfectly right between Dragons of Autumn Twilight and Dragons of Winter Night. It has no spoilers for what happens after it. I hope when this new trilogy is done, you can read all six as one continuous story, and the Dragonlance Chronicles can be seen as one perfect sextet, rather than a flawed (and too short) trilogy.

I bought it for my son and I know he liked it. I haven't had a chance to read it though. It's been quite a number of years since I've read Chronicles and Legends, so I would probably need a refesher course before tackling this new series. I liked Weis & Hickman when I was growing up, but I'm not sure where they would stand with me now -- I'm sure I would probably end up enjoying them still.

I find much fantasy I loved as a lad doesn't stand up, but I think the Dragonlance Chronicles do. They're incredibly fast paced at parts, occasionally they're repetitive and the foreshadowing can be painfully obvious (Raistlin's dark secrets, Sturm's fate) but the story stands up and the haracters are three dimensional and interesting.
