I was ecstatic to hear the news that they were returning to the world they birthed.ĭragons of Deceit is the first of the new trilogy, Dragonlance Destinies. I like the majority of them, but the books by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, the creators of the world of Krynn, are special. Each new novel adds to the lore and shows a new perspective. I have devoured every new novel that takes place in Krynn, seen visions of the world painted by many authors. I’ve read those books more times than I can count. I opened the book and immediately fell in love with the world of Krynn, the characters, and the writing.įast forward more years than I’ll admit. There was a dragon on the front (I’m a sucker for dragons), and characters who looked right out of the cover at the reader, inviting them on an adventure. Many years ago, I stumbled across a book called Dragons of Autum Twilight, book one in the Dragonlance Chronicles.

With nothing left in the world to support her but wits and determination, she hatches a bold plan: to secure the Device of Time Journeying she read about in one of her father's books and prevent her father's death. Not only does she lose her beloved father, but the legacy he has left her: a wealthy fiancé, and rule over the family lands and castle.
But when her father dies in the War of the Lance, her carefully constructed world comes crashing down.

The killing of the people like the knight Krell also quite well described in a high drama. In the last part of the series the secret about Mina is revealed to her as she goes to the world that is called Godshome in order to protect the crazed god. Mina has to fight the dark powers that grew more and more powerful at the end of everyday and thus time is running out for her and her friends all the time. The escape of Mina from prison is quite dramatic and described in such a way that our interest in the character and her fate is aroused to the maximum as if we start hoping or praying for her survival and success. She starts her quest with a band of friends not because she likes such tasks but because she is force to do so in order to save her life and the life of the people around her that are caught by forces with which they cannot compete on their own.
