Book Description

Dragonlance Legends February 1, 2001
One hundred years have passed since the fiery Cataclysm that changed the face of Krynn forever. For one hundred years, the people of Krynn have struggled to survive. But for some, those one hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Catapulted forward in time by Raistlin’s powerful magic, Caramon and Crysania find themselves aiding the mage’s unholy quest to master the Queen of Darkness. To his dismay, Raistlin discovers along the way that the annals of Time are not so easily bent to his will. Neither are the longings of his heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars War of the Twins - An exceptional continuation!, March 2, 2003
By 
K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (Cape Girardeau, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
As a personal favorite, I always find stories containing time travel to be an interesting plot line; War of the Twins is no exception to that. Some would ask themselves how two authors could continue to produce such outstanding stories without tripping up a little, but as of when Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman wrote this second book in the Legends series, they proved that they could consistently write exceptional stories! As you read through these brilliant stories, you cannot help but notice many of the events or characters created by these two fine authors that in later novels became the main story arc, showing further evidence to their world creating talents.

The premise:

At the end of Time of the Twins Raistlin propelled himself, Crysania and Caramon into the future and intentionally tricked Tasslehoff, forcing him to ride out the Cataclysm. War of the Twins picks up with Raistlin, Crysania and Caramon in the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas, yet this is not the tower that Raistlin left at the beginning of Time of the Twins. In order to further his cause, entering the Abyss with Crysania to fight the Queen of Darkness herself and thus become a god himself, Raistlin has taken his group a mere one hundred years or so into the future beyond the Cataclysm. Here is where we find out how he truly becomes the master of past and present as we are presented with the story of his confrontation with Fistdantilus, the greatest mage who ever lived.

As the three stories of this book unfolds, we are treated to how these characters taking up roles in the history of Krynn written in Astinus's Chronicles, lead to disaster. How the authors dealt with this is fantastic, especially how their knowledge of the events of the Dwarfgate wars ended and their collective attempts to change the history books. Ever present is the continued severing of the relationship between Raistlin and Caramon. No longer is Caramon the overbearing and over protective brother of Raistlin, as he's finally seen and understood the true nature of his brother.

Further nods to the authors of this excellent novel, as it brilliantly continues this second epic in the world of Krynn. I highly recommend this trilogy to all who have read the Dragonlance Chronicles and wish to find out what happened with these great characters after the War of the Lance. {ssintrepid}

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!!!!, June 16, 1999
By A Customer
This book is a must for Raistlin fans. It shows his human side. I loved the love plot with Crysania. I loved the way Caramon finally began to accept and understand his brother. Although it is not as "exciting" as the first trilogy, it is so much more deep and dramatic. It more explores emotions than battling dragons. A very excellent book, especially if you love Raistlin like I do.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Turning Point, December 18, 2002
By 
Kellyannl (Bronx, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: War of the Twins (Dragonlance Legends, Vol. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Continuing where "Time of the Twins" left off, this entry in the Dragonlance Legends trilogy furthers Raistlin's plot to overthrow the Queen of Darkness.

As it begins, after quickly dispensing with the formality of lying through his teeth about what really happened to Tas in Istar and completely winning over Caramon and Crysania, Raistlin coldly proceeds with his manipulative scheming even as he starts to show traces of the man he once was. Events finally force him to take what seems to be the road of no return as Caramon finally comes to terms with what his twin really is.

This entry includes some of the most touching dialogue in the series between the twins and explains more deeply why Raistlin is what he is. Caramon, facing an almost surgical separation from his twin as more things come to light, finally comes into his own.

Due to plot reasons, we don't see much of Tas for awhile outside of an interlude revealing what has happened to him after "Time"'s cliffhanger. One of the series' major forces of kindness and compassion, his own nature hasn't allowed him to associate Raistlin with the face of evil. Combined with his unintentionally dangerous trump card ability to alter time, this makes him frighteningly vulnerable - and when he rejoins the correct time frame, unfortunately running into Raistlin first, the meeting between the two results in what might be the most psychologically disturbing and horrific two chapters in the whole Dragonlance saga. When faced with the depths to which Raistlin is willing to go, even his most admiring fans will be forced to wonder if he is indeed worth saving at all - a question that will dominate "Test of the Twins".
