Dragonlance: Dragons of Deceit: (Dungeons & Dragons) (Dragonlance Destinies, 1)

Product Information

I just finished listening to the audiobook and overall the novel was fine. As others have said, the time travel stuff is getting a bit old by this point, and I could have done without so much more Tasslehoff. Per fortuna nella seconda parte si risolleva considerevolmente, si entra nel vivo della storia e inizia la parte legata all’avventura.

REVIEW: Dragons of Deceit by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

Honestly, for nearly 2/3 of the book I wasn't sure I'd finish it. There are a number of editing errors and cut and paste descriptions that keep getting repeated. I found myself wondering if this is even my favorite authors' work, it felt that different from their other work. I have received troubling information that I need you to investigate. You saw the human woman in company with the chief cleric?” Sometimes a long-running series finds itself in a bind. Do you continue with a storyline that new readers might be confused by, but rewards longtime readers? Or do you tell a story that has an entry point for new readers, risking alienating returning readers who want something new (I’m thinking of the multitude of Spiderman origin stories here)? I understand the need to cater to newcomers who might not know all the varied history of Dragonlance but for me, these info dumps were made worse by the fact it was all information I was already very familiar with. Having observed her, Wolfstone left the main part of the Great Hall by a staircase that led down several levels to the dungeons. He could hear the sound of drunken singing coming from the cells. Apparently one prisoner had imbibed too heavily in dwarf spirits.She dipped her index finger into the chalice and ran it around the inside. The dragon disappeared, staining her finger red. Destina lifted her finger to show her mother. Of course he did,” said Hornfel. “She admitted as much. The woman said the wizard read about it in a book from the library of Palanthas.”

But I can’t! I just can’t walk away. This is Dragonlance! This is a continuation of my childhood. I can’t give up on it. Everything I’ve read about the book (which I have fastidiously tried to avoid) mentions Tasslehoff. How I can I walk away from the chance to read one more tale about Tasslehoff? Dungeons & Dragons novels played a major role throughout the game's continually evolving history, but over time their popularity seemed to wane. Eventually, Wizards of the Coast stopped focusing so heavily on companion novels and turned their sights toward reworking the game itself. Now, as D&D 5e reawakens old worlds and campaign settings, like Dragonlance and Ravenloft, the hunger for deeper experiences within those worlds only continues to increase. Dragons of Deceit is the first of the new trilogy, Dragonlance Destinies. It’s been years since the last Dragonlance written by the masters was released, but they didn’t miss a beat. I wondered before reading it if this book would appeal more to new readers or to readers returning and hoping to see the characters they love. First: this did not live up to my expectations. I have to admit, however, that my expectations were skewed by time and memory. I have not read a Dragonlance book in probably three decades. There was plenty to read, as I could never keep up with the outpouring of the various novels in various series.

A new Dragonlance trilogy begins in 2022 - Polygon

Tl;dr - As wild as it is to be reading new Tanis Half-Elven dialogue in 2022, that nostalgia isn't enough for this book to overcome its fundamental flaws and divided focus. (Light spoilers ahead) Come look at the lovely colors, Destina. They are the colors of the kingfisher. Blue above and orange beneath.”

Another things that needs to be said is that they're not writing for teenagers anymore. Most Dragonlance fans are in their 30s, 40s, even their 50s. We have grown older and our tastes in books have evolved. It's the same with the Star Wars franchise. For once, just for once, I'd like for the powers that be to remember that and offer us material that we can enjoy and relate to as adults. Perhaps, if I was still fourteen, I would have loved this novel and would have overlooked all its flagrant flaws. But as an adult? Though most of the side characters were duds, I did like Dalamar the elven wizard, and Wolfstone the dwarf. I don’t think they were particularly well written, but they were more palatable than the rest. It was really a shame that Wolfstone wasn’t more prominent. Gold for the sun, for the sheaf of wheat, for the leaves in autumn,” said Atieno. “Gold for the goddess of the yellow star.”
