The previous reviewer has this box set mixed up with another book. This box set contains 3 Dragonlance books from the legends Trilogy, which takes place after the Dragonlance Chronicles. Its the second trilogy in the Dragonlance series of books. It contains the books: Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins. These were excellent books but i recommend you read the Dragonlance Chronicles before you read these as they will give you a better understanding of the characters.

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!

Truly, this is a book that you must read! I am a devoted Dragonlance fan, and this is my favorite of the many series. It really revolves around character development and development of the setting. You get to know characters in ways you don't in the previous series like Dragonlance Chronicles and the Raistlin Chronicles. Plus, it's got Tasslehoff!
Oh, is this your review... You must have dropped it.

I've always been a Tolkien and Lewis fan and have wanted some modern day authors who had the same stuff. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have taken that place. Anyone who likes a good adventure like The Lord of the Rings would enjoy the Dragonlance trilogies immensely. I find myself coming back to these books every once in a while, too. It's the classic Good vs. Evil in a grand epic, the likes of which I've only seen with Tolkien and Lewis and a few others.

If the prologue won't hook you in, I don't know what will. (You SHOULD read the "Chronicles" trilogy first to know what's going on.) The best fantasy trilogy with memorable characters who you will come to know well. In all our imaginations, however, Raistlin is a character to be loved, hated, and/or both. In my mind, "Raist" will always be the "master of past and present."

After "Legends," Weis/Hickman continue the story, and so should you if you love "Legends." If you REALLY enjoyed the trilogy box set, the "Annotated Legends" is a must-buy as well.

I am a 14 year old student. This Dragonlace series is probably my favorite of all other ones I have read. The characters are well developed. I have heard some people say they think Dragonlance characters are rather flat but i disagree. Raistlin is the best character. I feel he is a trajic character as he meets an ill-fated end and endures much suffering. I hesitate to call him a villian but he is definantly not the protagonost. The plot is all three books is very interesting and I do not believe it had any boring parts at all. I liked how they threw in the whole time traveling to the future thing with Tas and Caramon. So in conclusion, this book is great. If you like Fantasy or are simply looking for a good book to read, buy it. You will not regret it.

Great product that was delivered in record time. I was totally amazed at how fast it got shipped to me. Dragon Lance books are great reads. If you ready for an adventure that sucks you in to the character than these books are for you. Dragon Lance books have a huge selection of books to choose from and most of them tie together in storyline at one point or another. You get the feeling of an ever-expanding storyline. I recommend these books to readers of all levels.

This series was great. I loved it, just like Chronicles series!

You know what, though? People say they liked Legends better. I don't know. I personally liked Chronicles better.

Overall, both the Chronicles and Legends are really enjoying read.

Read this when I was in High School. I just purchased the set to read them again. Loved it then, still love it now. Great story.

What can you say about this, the classic fantasy trilogy? In one word: brilliant. It has all the elements one would want: friendship, adventure, love, magic, excitiment, a laugh and a tear. But what strikes me most about this series (especially if you read the chronicles and everything afterwards) is the fact that right and wrong are not so black and white as they so often are portraited. The 'good guys' as whitecloaks are not so good at all, for instance. And off course, there's Raistlin. My favourite character of all time, combining the good and bad of man so perfectly... a must read for every reader on the globe!
