3.0 out of 5 stars Dragons of Chaos is just like the other anthologies., March 26, 1999

By A Customer

Dragons of Chaos is the same as the other anthologies in the fact that some stories are great and others are truly terrible. This collection of short stories by various authors of the Dragonlance saga has some very good stories. Knaak's Son of Huma is great and so is the Dragon's Eye. But there are others that are simply boring and make you say "I wish I skipped that one." And most of the stories take place either after or before the Chaos war, not during it. But I have to say that Roger Moore's "There is Another Shore..." is probably the best story. It tells of two men who are whisked into a parallel dimension where the Cataclysm never happened! This was an awesome story and should have been a book. It deserves 5 stars itself. So pick up this anthology if just to read Moore's great short story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine anthology, August 4, 1998

By	Jeff Lee - See all my reviews

For a newcomer to Krynn and its world of Dragonlancers, THE DRAGONS OF CHAOS was a very interesting book to read. Stories are clear, concise, and both fun to read (Dragonfear) and almost sad (Son of Huma). Most likely the Krynn aficionado will be more appreciative of the finer nuances of THE DRAGONS OF CHAOS but I found it a delight to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ongoing battle continues..., April 13, 1998

By	Adam Maysonet ([e-mail]) (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

I really like the way this series is going, and The Dragons of Chaos is no exception. There is lots of action, character development, twists in the plot, and finishing the book makes you anxiously wanting the next book of the series to come out.

Weis and Hickman give us just enough information on certain characters and events to get your mind thinking on what could happen - and then when it finally happens, it's very different than what you expected.

I have found Weis and Hickman to be consistently excellent writers, and I've read most of their other books. I felt it would be hard to come close to the success of their first Dragons series, but with such an excellent storyline, it will be close.

I definately suggest reading this anthology. What are you waiting for? Get it!
