Summary: Catherine & Heathcliff
Comment: This is the Wuthering Heights of the fantasy genre. Yes, it's DARK; No, there's not much 'action' and swords, but SO WHAT? It's an incredible piece of psychological fantasy literature that you can read and enjoy over the age of 12 and be blown away. IS there a more engaging portrait of an anti-hero? The end of the third book breaks your heart -- but more importantly this trilogy is about the human psyche, ambition, love, greed, power, and the human soul. I thought the Chronicles were OK, but this trilogy made me lose my entire mind. Make fun of D&D nuts everywhere, but this will make you EAT your thoughts/words.
There's no saccharine ending here, folks -- it's tragedy in the grand fulfilling sense of the word. It's life.
If you've cut your teeth on the likes of George RR Martin, Robin Hobb, Tad Williams, & Stephen R. Donaldson, this series is a PLEASANT and fabulous surprise. We've all been there -- whether your disillusioned like Crys, or bound & determined for revenge like Raist, there's a little bit of both of them in ALL of us. Which, of course, is the general theme.
And as for the "Was Raistlin really inlove?' debates.... oh PLEASE, you mean to tell me you buy the whole Cameron/Tika, Sturm/Alhana, Silvara/Gilthanas -- hello, let's fall inlove in all of five minutes relationships, but Crys and Raist leave you WONDERING? Grow up, read this, grieve, grow up some more, and read this flippin' series again.

Summary: One man ambition and the bonds that unites all...
Comment: Time of the Twins is the first volume of the "Legends" trilogy. The story starts 2 years after the finals events of the "Chronicles" trilogy. If you are not familiar with the series, i recommend reading the first book of "Chronicles", "Dragons of Autumn Twilight". While not fundamental to the story, you will experience the tale from the beginning and see what is all about. This will certainly enhance your experience with the "Legends" trilogy, and if you have liked the first books, you will enjoy this new series. They are great books to introduce someone to fantasy. Just be sure to start with the "Chronicles".
Now about this one:
After the War of the Lance, Raistlin, "master of past and of present", reclaimed the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas. And now, his ambition knows no limit. His brother Caramon, the kender Tassheloff and Crysania, a cleric of Paladine, will join efforts in an attempt to bring him back to the path of light. But the task is much greater than anyone imagined, dragging them into a cycle no one could have predicted and that will surely shape the future, for better or for worse.
The story is more slow than the "Chronicles" trilogy. It's not about defeating evil armies. It's a great story about one man ambition and the bonds that unite us all, even when we don't realize...
Readers familiar with the series will surely enjoy this book, especially fans of a certain black robed wizard, with golden skin and hourglass eyes.

Summary: AMAZING!!!
Comment: The Legends Trilogy- the Time of The Twins, the War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins, is the sequel to The Chronicles Trilogy- Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning, which brings to life the ultimate battle between Good and Evil in the magical World of Krynn. The books are so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. The authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have truly outdone themselves and have presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien's work and RA Salvatore's The Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies. Duty, honor, bravery, magic, dragons and heroes are all about. One should seriously start thinking about maybe turning them into movies...
