Dragonlance: Chronicles Number 1
by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

From Goodreads
Life-long friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumours of war. They speak of tales with strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chanced encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman who bears a magical crystal staff draws the companions deeper into the shadow forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world.

 

No one expected them to be heroes.
Least of all themselves.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a second read or at least I thought it was going to be but frankly, I could hardly remember much at all. Mind you I probably read it in 1985 or so. Was that really so long ago? There are around 90 books in this series now so it will be a challenge to get through many of them. (I think I still have quite a number of them in a box somewhere.) Thank goodness for ebooks.
In any event, it was an enjoyable read with strangely familiar characters that I will keep reading about for a while yet. I meet the authors at a Supernova convention in Brisbane some years ago and they signed a couple of books for my then young son. He was impressed as a dragon lover.
If you are a D&D player or MMORPG player I think you will enjoy the books and the relatively rich character development.
