3.0
More 3 1/2, really.
It's strange in that the climactic ending is both satisfying and, yet, anti-climactic. I liked how things were resolved, and I liked the moral of balance, but I would've liked there to have been more of a final battle, I guess. This is sword & sorcery, afterall.
Most things came too easily throughout the series. I'm not sure how much of that is from the compression/editing, though, but everything was just there when it needed to be, starting with the healing gift, continuing into the refinding of the dragonlances, and going right up to the ending. Ah well - this is a common failing of old quest stories. At least the mostly happy ending is, well, happy even if somewhat lacking.
I will continue with 'Legends' as I like Raistlin, probably the most complicated character, though that's not really saying much, considering. ;) I would've liked to have seem him more here - like how he ends up in the black and with the dark queen. I hope we get some of the missing story in 'Legends' and that it wasn't just a sacrifice to the gods of editing, since I'd rather have seen more of that and less of Tanis whining...
Aside from those missing pieces, these final two (or one, depending) were less jumpy than the first two, so that was good, too.
