4.0 out of 5 stars Getting to Know the Dragons, June 12, 2000

"kenderkin" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Dragons of Krynn (Dragonlance: Dragons, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

Here's a collection of Dragon stories. Some very good, some just so-so. Interesting pieces include "The Final Touch", "The Best", "Kaz and the Dragon's Children", "Dragon Breath", "The Middle of Nowhere." "The First Dragonarmy Bridge..." introduces us to the pitiful draconian brigade whom one will meet in greater detail in "The Doom Brigade". Some of the stories end abruptly ("Into the Light" is one) while I find "Honor..." a bit tiresome to read. The rest of the stories are worth reading. All in all, this is a good book to get acquainted with the most popular and most awesome creatures in Krynn - dragons.

This book offers a diverse look at both the good and the bad of the most ancient and mythical creatures: Dragons. From the most honorable to the most cunningly evil, they are here, and you will love it. Great for new fans and those searching for more of Krynn's history!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite, January 30, 1997

Bobby MacGregor ([e-mail]) This book is a must for anyone reading the Dragonlance series. Not only does it relate most of the dragon history of Krynn it also talks about other histories. I would have to say that I learned more from this book than any other book in the series.
