I have to qualify the summary by stating that I loved the original Dragonlance Trilogy. I have read and reread the books and have never tired of wandering the realm of Krynn.The ho-hum efforts of the legions of well meaning authors of the spin-off novels were bearable. This effort by the trilogy's original authors is not. Yes, the Dragonlance series has spun on too long, but it surely the world of Krynn we know and love did not deserve to be destroyed so callously.I found myself grimacing at some of the hackeyed plots involving the gods of Krynn and despairing as one hero after another is killed off in uninspiring, unheroic fashion. The truly sickening end to many well-loved characters made my stomach turn.Do yourself a favour, throw this book into the Abyss. Then re-read the original Dragonlance Trilogy and revel in the magic and spendour on Krynn as we know and love.
