5.0 out of 5 stars Dragonlance Graphic Novels, September 3, 2009

This review is from: Dragonlance Legends Volume 1: Time of the Twins (Dragonlance Chronicles) (v. 1) (Dragonlance Novel: Dragonlance Legends) (Paperback)

The Dragonlance novels by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are loved by huge numbers of fans, and the stories have basically formed a world of their own. The books are well written. The characters are memorable, and the action is nonstop. The books are great fun to read.

I'm sure the graphic novels of Dragonlance are less well known, but they are also extremely well done and great fun to read. As listed below, the saga starts with the three volumes of Chronicles and then moves on to Legends.

Chronicles, Book I: Dragons of Autumn Twilight
Chronicles, Book II: Dragons of Winter Night
Chronicles, Book III: Dragons of Spring Dawning (2 books)
Legends: Time of the Twins

The illustrations in the graphic novels are outstanding and seemed to fit fine with the pictures I had formed in my mind of the various characters. The action sequences stand up to scrutiny by the reader, and dragons are all over the place. However, reading these books cannot possibly be the same as reading the originals. The graphic format has its limitations, so the depth of the original stories is not here but the spirit certainly is. I recommend the books highly to all Dragonlance fans. Please keep in mind that you should read the novels first. Otherwise, keeping track of the action in the stories could be difficult.

One unfortunate note is that Time of the Twins may be the only volume published in graphic format from Legends. My understanding is that the publisher has no plans to put out succeeding books from Legends. That is too bad.

This review is from: Dragonlance Legends Volume 1: Time of the Twins (Dragonlance Chronicles) (v. 1) (Dragonlance Novel: Dragonlance Legends) (Paperback)

I've been a DragonLance fan and a Raistlin fan for nearly 20 years and only recently heard about the graphic novels based on some of my favourite books. This particular one tells the story from the first book of the Legends trilogy. The artwork is amazing and the story comes through clear.

My only complaint is with the publisher: They cut this one off before the artist could do the remaining two books of the series. Shame on them for stopping such a wonderful series!
