Being a bit of a completist I’m always interested in learning what’s new in the Dragonlance world. Since Weis & Hickman’s original influence had basically fallen by the wayside in recent years I was intrigued by their new “side-ition” to the original Chronicles trilogy. Expanding on tales skipped over the first time, this volume details the Heroes of the Lance as they meet and befriend the dwarves of Thorbardin. While the dwarves were never my favorite race on Krynn, any full-length novel with the original companions is welcome – more welcome that any of the current-era “Mina” Dragonlance-lite.

This is Dragonlance, trust me.
