I agree with the other guy who said that there was only one good story. The Story that Tasslehoff Promised he Would Never, Ever Tell (which is the real name of the story) was spectacular. It captured the mystery behind the lances. Were they magical, or just steel? The ending of the story still leaves this mystery unsolved. That is excellent literature. Another is war machines. It captures the humorous aspect of gnome machinery and a gnome of many working to perfect his life quest. The rest is absolutely terrible. One other note...I expected the Vingaard Campaign to be awesome. It was terrible.

I read the Dragonlance books as a child and I am now going back through them to decide which ones to keep. This book is definitely not one of the books I will keep. I agree with other reviews that Tasslehoff's story is good. It is very entertaining, but since it is only ~70 pages I can't justify keeping the book for that reason. Douglas Niles and Richard Knaak's tales are decent, but I wasn't exactly thrilled by the other stories. I remember the other Tales books being more entertaining. With all that being said if I was still a huge Dragonlance fan and I saw this book in the library or at a used book store it might be worth picking up for the few good stories.

A great book to read if you just can't get enogh of the original DL trilogies. The book is full of fun stories that will give you a little more insight into Kyrnn during the war of the lance.

Thsi book was great! While some of the sories were a little stupid, most of them were extremely entertaining. I couldn't put this book down!

I have to give all the short story novels 3 stars. There are some stories you won't like but they'll 2-4 really great ones that will make the books worth the price.
