This was the first true fantasy I've ever read and I'll never forget it.

The story is very typical of the group adventure dynamic but it's worth it. The characters are easy to love (or hate), the story is epic, and the landscape amazing.

What really gave me such a passion for the series was the annotations included. It's one thing to re-read a series with the author's notes but another to start a series fresh and have the notes right there with you.

If ever someone wanted to just jump right into an epic fantasy, I'd easily recommend this one.

I remember this book as being a really grand adventure. I have to say, some twenty years later, I wonder what I would think. I can still remember some of the characters, though, Sturm Brightblade among them. Considering that there are books I've read that I can't even remember, I suppose it says something about this one that I remember much of the details, and do so fondly.

Primer libro de verdad que leí de fantasía medieval con unos 12 o 13 años, varios años antes de leer El Señor de los Anillos y, para mí, este es mejor. Si, acuchilladme pero, en mi opinión, mejora el mundo creado por Tolkien. Mejor en cuanto a ritmo y sin tantas descripciones infinitas, mejor en cuanto a la acción de las aventuras, mejor en cuanto a carisma de los personajes, algunos de ellos inolvidables pese al pase de los años, etc.
Leído en mi temprana adolescencia y releído de nuevo sobre los 2o años, vez que la disfruté infinitamente más. Me parece un imprescindible de la fantasía medieval, uno de los pilares de este género y con unos personajes cuidados de forma excelente. Es posible que para los muy curtidos en este género les parezca simple, llena de clichés e incluso en ocasiones algo infantil, pero si buscas aventuras, no te van a faltar.
Además, la forma de narrar las escenas con 9 u 11 personajes simultaneamente es fabulosa, no pierdes ni un solo detalle de todo lo que está ocurriendo. Te reirás a carcajadas con Tasslehoff y Flint, se te quedará el culo apretado con Raistlin, se te desencajará la mandíbula de asombro con Caramon y sentirás la fuerza del honor con Sturm Brightblade, entre otros personajes.
Un 5/5 para cada uno de los tomos de esta trilogía.

¡Nos leemos!

One word: Raistlin.

These books are worth a read, and I would rate them as a 7/10.
