I will be continuing my travels through Krynn with War of the Twins next month. I enjoyed this book, but definitely missed having the other companions involved in the story, having got used to their group dynamic in the previous trilogy.
Tas also provides some fun moments as usual and proves himself to be as brave and loyal as any of the companions.
Tas also travels back with Caramon and Crysania, by accident, but without him to keep an eye on Caramon, the drunken warrior would never have survived the time they ended up in. Sent back through time to save Raistlin she falls in love with him and tries to persuade him away from his dark path. The other main characters in this novel are Tasselhoff Burrfoot, the beloved kender, and Crysania, a devout and annoyingly perfect cleric of Paladine’s faith. Raistlin meanwhile continues his expert manipulations of people and situations always with his own goals at the forefront of his mind. We see his character go from hopeless drunk, sent back through time to the time of the Cataclysm when the gods destroyed Istar, to protect the lady Crysania, sobering up and training to become a successful gladiator in the process. Caramon’s devotion to his brother is stretched to the utmost limit in Time of the Twins. This second trilogy follows the stories of the Majere twins, Caramon and Raistlin. Time of the Twins is the first book in the second Dragonlance trilogy, Dragonlance Legends, following on after the end of Dragons of Spring Dawning. There, together with the ever-present kender Tasslehoff, Caramon will make his stand to save Raistlin’s soul. Made aware of his brother’s plan, a distraught Caramon travels back in time to the doomed city of Istar in the days before the Cataclysm. She is blind to his shadowed designs, and he draws her slowly into his neatly woven trap. One is Crysania, a beautiful and devoted cleric of Paladine, who tries to use her faith to lead Raistlin from the darkness. Sequestered in the blackness of the dreaded Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas, and surrounded by nameless creatures of evil, archmage Raistlin Majere weaves a plan to conquer the darkness-to bring it under his control. New York Times–bestselling series: The War of the Lance has ended, and the darkness has passed. This week on Witty and Sarcastic Bookclub‘s blog is Dragonlance Week – so I thought I should get my act together and post a Dragonlance review before the week is over! There have been many excellent Dragonlance posts this week – including an interview with Margaret Weis so head on over and take a look:
