Meh, I think this book was slightly gimped in my eyes due to the fact that I "read" this as an audio book, but I never really connected with the characters. They just never felt very capable to me, or likable, so I didn't really care what happened to them.
I can't really recommend, there are better fantasy books out there.

The third book in this series. The story reaches its conclusion in this book and thus this book is a bit better than the previous installment. But the problem with this book is that sometimes if feels like the story could be told in fewer pages. At times this book drags, and sometimes the characters seem to be very slow at understanding stuff.

After feeling the first book in this trilogy felt rushed and thoroughly enjoying the second one and watching the characters really come into their own, this one took my breathe away and broke my heart. For the first time since I began reading these books, I saw Caramon as more than just Raislin's twin or the brute force of the group - I saw him as a person who has become whole and found himself, which I suspect, is what was intended. The appearances of both Tanis and Kitiara were nice touches and Tasslehoff was written as less of an annoyance than he came off in the previous two books, which I was extremely happy to see. What can I say, I'm a kender loving fool!
But, as has been the case throughout all of the books, my heart was with Raistlin. It was my desire to see if my feelings about him were going to be validated in the end that made me devour this book in one sitting. Throughout the trilogy we've seen him wrestle with his desire for power and the humanity that burns somewhere inside of him which he tries so desperately not to give in to. A being of seemingly total evil, willing to challenge the Queen of Darkness and attempt to take her place amongst the gods, he's done unspeakable things and is past the point of redemption - or is he?
An incredibly satisfying ending.

The third and final book of the Legends trilogy finishes off the series with quite the epic conclusion. Raistlin and his brother Caraman, Tasslehoff, and Lady Crysania have split ways. Raistlin and Lady Crysania enter the abyss to do battle with the dark queen, Takhisis. Meanwhile Caramon and Tasslehoff are thrust forward in time to bear witness to the effects of Raistlin and Crysania's actions. Not particularly liking what they see, they rush back to the present to try and change the future and save the world they love.
This volume is a fast paced epic conclusion that keeps you turning pages up until the very end. All four are faced with decisions that, if made incorrect, could lead to the end of the world. The end shows us that not everything is at it seems, and that people will suprise up until the very last. The only way for a hero to save this day is make an ultimate sacrifice for eternity. Who will be the one willing to give everything they have and could have to stop the end of time?
I am continuely amazed at the characters in these books. They come to life in a way that is seen so rarely. They become your friends and family. You cheer when they succeed and would do anything to stop them from making the mistakes they do. Their development is so seamless and natural that I am continually surprised to find they are not real. As this part of their story ends, we look forward with what is rest of the world to better days, and grieve for those that were lost along the way.
5/5

I'm not sure what to say about this book. Let's see. It's solid. I really enjoyed the ending, even though I think it is a little bit predictable. I think that the first trilogy, as a whole, was better. With that being said I think that the first 2 books in this trilogy were better than the first trilogy. (Hopefully you aren't confused.) This book didn't ruin the trilogy by any means it just wasn't as good as the first 2 twins books. Part of the problem for me is that I love Raistlin so much as a character and he was barely to be found in this book until the end and Caramon and Tanis and Tas had to carry the story. While they are good in their own right they are not nearly as interesting or compelling as Raistlin. With that being said I urge anyone to read these books. You are missing out if you do not read the "holy six," as some call them, of the Dragonlance lore.
Admito que al principio pensaba en ponerle 3 estrellas porque básicamente me importa nada y menos lo que haga Tanis con su vida y sus pensamientos, pero luego (por fin) volvieron a escena los verdaderos protagonistas de esta trilogía y además dándole un cierre tan genial que ha subido a 4.
Sobre la trilogía decir que, aunque la calificación no lo refleje, me ha gustado más que Crónicas. Ese ritmo más pausado y explicativo y ese centrarse en unos pocos personajes hace que puedas saborearlo todo mejor, aunque en el último libro recuperen ese ritmo vertiginoso de acontecimientos.
Destacar el gran crecimiento personal de Caramon, se agradece que le den esa oportunidad a un personaje tan noble.
Y, como no, Tass te adoro.
