Tercera entrega que acaba con un sentimiento agridulce, es bonito y emocionante pero a la vez triste por la sensación de algo que se termina y ya nada será igual.
Si tuviera que puntuar a la trilogía entera emocionalmente, le daría un 5 como una catedral de grande. Puede que sea porque es mi primera incursión en la fantasía pero me he enamorado totalmente de la historia, sus personajes, de todo.
Pero mirando también la parte más técnica, como por ejemplo los fallos ortográficos (que sobretodo en el último libro eran bastantes) te cortaban el rollo y sacaban del ambiente, o que los malos malísimos no prestan ninguna gran batalla final y se los acaban cargando como si nada, hacen que le reste unos pocos puntitos y no me sienta bien dandoles un 5 a todos.
En resumen, definitivamente es una saga que se quedará marcada en mi corazón, con la que voy a continuar y espero poder seguir disfrutando duranto mucho tiempo y muchos libros.

A winding but satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. We follow our band of adventurers as they are split up and carve very different paths through the war with the Queen of Darkness.
- More D&D-esque adventures. The story, as before, reads like a transcribed campaign and its twists and turns are engaging and have you wondering what will happen next. The dungeon master within me occasionally pinpoints where a natural 20 or a natural 1 was rolled though.
- I appreciated the character development that happened in this installment. Several characters went through a lot of hardship, turmoil and difficulty and I was very pleased to see that this affected them and changed their natures appropriately.
- The conclusion was wrapped up well. There were satisfying conclusions to several story arcs but also enough left open ended for further books and stories to pick up from if desired.
Well finished, exciting and enjoyable. I would recommend this trilogy to anyone who enjoys classic fantasy, litRPGs or interwoven storylines.

I crawled through this series and now can give this book and the whole series a 3.
It's... ok. The characters could have more depth and the writing drags at times but it's a solid fantasy novel. There's a solid mix of high, world-in-the-balance stakes and personal dramas. There's a few neat reveals and moments of awesome as well as some sad points.
It's all there, it just falls flat. Probably because the characters are hard to really care about.

The first of this series to reduce me to tears and it managed it not once, but twice. This is the final conclusion of the Chronicles and within it we say goodbye to some fond friends indeed. Characters grow, age, grieve, love and mourn. There are betrayals, wonders, surprises and oaths. There is the fulfilment of a dream of prophecy and the hope of chances as yet to come.
I devoured this novel and look forward to going back to read the Legends next, where I shall be reunited with some lost friends, at least for another three books. When I first read these novels well over a decade ago, I didn't realise how much snobbishness there is around this series. Because it's based on a game it can't be well written, the characters are flat, yada, yada, yada. I call absolute bull. If you read it without thinking about any games, this is a series that will hook you and draw you through it whilst hitting every emotional hook on the way.
I dare you; read these books and tell me that you don't grin at the thought of Tasslehoff Burfoot, the irrepressible lender or smile wryly when thinking of Flint, loyal, steadfast and grumbling old dwarf. Amongst many others, Fizban, Tanis and Raistlin are all completely individual and wonderfully sketched in words. The characters held within these pages have wormed their way into my very heart and that is a compliment indeed for any author.
Do I recommend? Can I have a hell yes! This is the best out of the trilogy and none of them let me down.

Le habría puesto cuatro estrellas si Raistlin no se hubiera pasado el 50% del libro en paradero desconocido, porque cuando por fin vuelve a aparecer es como el segundo advenimiento de Cristo XD sus partes son muy épicas, pero las de los demás son, en general, aburridas.
Never forget los elfos sirenos delfines exhibicionistas polimorfos. Se les fue la olla pero bien a esas alturas, no le puedo poner cuatro estrellas a un libro que tiene ESO.
Raistlin salva este libro, para mí. Seguido muy de cerca por Fizban y Tas. Pero ya.

The Value of a Star: Ratings Explained
Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Dragonlance Chronicles, Book 1)
Dragons of Winter Night (Dragonlance Chronicles, Book 2)
Dragons of Spring Dawning (Dragonlance Chronicles, Book 3)
By: Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
My Rating: Three out of Five Stars
Best for: 12 and up
Ah, junior high! I remember the Dragonlance books with early-teenage fondness, and I've been wanting to reconnect with them for years. So…did my grown-up reading experience live up to my happy childhood memories?
Meh. Not really.
As an exercise in visiting the past, I enjoyed myself. The audiobook was an especially effective time warp as the audio performance by Paul Boehmer sounds like it was recorded fresh off the line in 1984--even though the audio was produced in 2013! Imagine the dialogue in The Last Unicorn and you'll get the idea.
As an exercise in literature though, I found all three books lacking. The plot was formulaic, with flat-as-a-pancake stereotypes instead of characters who I felt no attachment to, the pace slogged, the ending was lame, and the world building and peril felt straight out of a game of D&D. Everything about Dragonlance screams "I was written in 1984" all over it, which is actually kind of charming. Kind of.
If you're not familiar, the Dragonlance series is based on Dungeons and Dragons gameplay. For many in the 80's and 90's, the Dragonlance books became a gateway into the world of fantasy, even more than The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings because of their comparative simplicity.
Should you read Dragonlance? If you enjoy fantasy as a genre and at any point in your life you were a fan of D&D, you probably should! They remain excellent for specific readers young and old and will likely entertain 14 year old's today just as well as they did 30 years ago. Don't enjoy fantasy? Roll your eyes at D&D? I suspect you'd probably get bored with Dragonlance. There's just not quite enough 80's charm to attract anyone but the nerdiest nerds of all.
No content concerns. Fantasy violence. No onscreen sex, although there is some heavy longing (think descriptions Fabio on a book cover). No language. Best for 12 and up.
Happy Reading!
