3.0 out of 5 stars Well what can you really expect?, January 24, 2001

By	Nick Galunic (Haddonfield, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

The Magin of Krynn is a compilation of short stories 10-40 pages long by variouse ameteur authers that help develope the Dragonlance universe. As the title suggests, the common theme throughout the book is the use of magic for good or evil yet each story is unique it's own way. In my opinion, The Magic of Krynn is truly an *ameteur* work. The writing is second rate and the styles just don't compare to that of Marget Weis and Tracy Hickman. Yet these writers have great immaginations and really have some nice imput into the fantasy genre. The Magic of Krynn is a good book to have around the house when you just need a quick shot of Dragonlance action, but for the seriouse fantasy reader, it is nothing great at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Untold stories from before and after the War of the Lance!, July 2, 1997

By A Customer

This book is worth reading for the stories of the Majeres alone. At last, in "The Test of the Twins", the story of what Raistlin went through during his Test! In another story, twenty-five years later, we are asked, is he truly dead? Questions are raised- but not exactly answered- in "The Legacy."

Remember Flint telling Tas to quit telling those wild stories? In "A Stone's Throw Away" we get to listen in on his adventure involving a cursed teleporting ring. What kind of curse? You'll have to read and find out for yourself
