This review is from: A Rumor of Dragons: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Vol. 1 (Dragonlance Chronicles, Part 1) (Paperback)

I fell in love with Dragonlance years ago with the original Chronicles trilogy, of Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Winter Night, and Spring Dawning. I recently purchased the first of Kid friendly books for my younger brother. They were edited with the more adult themes taken out and had a few new works of art. But the problem is that they are the same price as the one original. So you are paying the full price of the full book for half the book. Even though this makes no sense I am glad that a new Genereation of young Adventurers will be able to travel Krynn!
All in all a great book that might not be as hard as a full novel for children to read, but if you are older just buy the originals. Thanx!

This review is from: A Rumor of Dragons: Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Vol. 1 (Dragonlance Chronicles, Part 1) (Paperback)

Overall, this series makes for wonderful reading. However, the sexual content is inappropriate for the age group (8-13 years) of readers it is directed at. I found myself editing some of the content while reading to my son.
