Das Hörbuch "Drachenjäger" ist der lang erwartete zweite Band der sechsteiligen Romanreihe "Die Chronik der Drachenlanze", die zu den absoluten Highlights der Fantasy-Literatur gehört.
Sechs Freunde aus vergangenen Abenteurer-Zeiten treffen sich nach Jahren wieder: Tanis, der Halb-Elf, Sturm Feuerklinge, der Ritter von Solamnia, Raistlin, der rätselhafte Magier, Caramon, sein ungleicher Zwillingsbruder, Flint Feuerschmied, der Zwerg und schließlich Tolpan Barfuß, ein Kender - die lästigste Rasse auf dem ganzen Planeten.

Die sechs Gefährten haben nur eine Möglichkeit, Krynn vor dem Untergang zu retten - sie müssen in die Festung von Lord Verminaard eindringen, eines Herrn der Drachen. Um den Weg bestreiten zu können, wollen sie in der Stadt Solace Proviant fassen. Doch Solace wurde von den Drachen überfallen und gnadenlos in Brand gesetzt; die friedlichen Bewohner wurden versklavt und zur harten Arbeit in den Minen gezwungen. Als die sechs in die Stadt kommen, werden sie von den Drachen gefangengenommen. und ein grausiges Schicksal droht ihnen...

Die Welt der Drachenlanze begeistert mit spannenden, romantischen und emotional fesselnden Fantasy-Geschichten. "Der Herr der Ringe"-Fans kommen bei diesem Stoff auf jeden Fall voll auf ihre Kosten.

So Idk what it is with this duo, but I start reading their books and I can never put them down until I'm either done with the book or I have to do chores or something.

Only thing is, I wouldn't let a 8 year old read this book. It's supposed to be for younger readers, but hopefully all the little mentions of...things...will just slide by their innocent little heads, no?

I loved the adventures they had, I didn't even feel the need for romance. The dragons' last fight was probably my favorite part...

This is definitely a worthwhile, fantasy, adventure that I enjoyed very much.

Would recommend!

I’m continuing to make my way through this series with my 10-year old son, having found the entire collection at a book sale. This is the second half of the story originally published as Dragons of Autumn Twilight in the 1980s. I hadn’t read the original novels although I’ve played some of the D&D game setting so I was somewhat familiar with it going in.

As a children’s book, I’m not sure it’s really targeted at the right age (the covers say 8-13). Again as in the first book there’s direct mention of rape in one place and this time a number euphemistic/glossed-over mentions of sex in a number of places (I edited out the former when reading with him). It’s also pretty graphically violent although maybe not as much as the first book which had a vivid description of a protagonist being burned by acid from head to toe. As a book for older teens and adults as originally intended on the other hand, it’s sort of cheesy in parts, with a very heavy-handed religious outlook and old-fashioned attitudes about sex even for the 80s (Ed Greenwood’s Forgotten Realms this isn’t).

Still, the pacing is brisk and the conclusion is pretty epic. We’ve definitely become invested in the characters and in finding out where some of the loose ends tie up in the subsequent books.

I guess my basic problem with this book is this: It just didn't feel real. It felt like a book.

You know what I mean? Those books that somehow grab your attention in a way that you forget which life you're really living? It's not one of those. It basically felt like a series of events, one after another, ad nauseam. I did not get emotionally involved in the story.

It does have some positive points. The characters are mature (it's not young adult), and there is some fun banter to be had. Some of the events were neat in their execution and fairly creative.

Review by C.W. : "D&D fantasy novel; second in Dragonlance Chronicles series. Just as good as the first."

[Rebecca Lien · Rating 2 out of 5]

It seems it did get worse. I could not follow the plot and it really wasn't my cup of tea. I tried.

Second part of this series, and one that I'd consider very much like the first. A decent book. Interesting story and characters. Uneven writing. Odd perspective changes.

Nette Geschichte, nette Figuren, aber sehr holperiger Schreibstil.

[Brittany · Rating 3 out of 5]

While there were some great additions to the story in this book (two new characters were the most interesting ones, to be certain), it also lost some of the charm it was building in the first book and perhaps worse, the ending was only okay at best, feeling more like a pause (with a bit of fan service thrown in) than a proper ending. I will not be seeking out the others in the series - though if they fell in my lap I'd probably still read them.

[Sam · Rating 1 out of 5]

Oje. Ojeojeoje. Die Eröffnungsszene in Buch 1 hatte mir noch richtig gut gefallen (ein Pub, eine Schlägerei, vermummte Typen, Magie). Doch von da an ging es so steil bergab, dass ich mich schon arg gequält habe. Diese Serie sollte das Pen and Paper Spiel Dragonlance bewerben und das spürt man. Sehr oberflächliche Charaktere irren hier episodenhaft durch eine sehr einfach gehaltene Fantasywelt. Ich habe ja keine Wunder erwartet, aber eben doch etwas mehr von einer so weit verbreiteten Reihe.

[Skyeofskynet · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rating Dragonlance books is beyond me. Because they're bad. They're so bad and silly. Yet those books started my long journey with fantasy books when I was thirteen or fourteen, and now, while rereading them ten years later, I still love them. And every ten pages I'm like: It's so bad. I love it!

Nettes Dungeons & Dragons Abenteuer. Nichts besonderes, aber zurecht ein Klassiker seiner Zeit. Für Paper-&-Pen-D&D-Rollenspiel-Freunde eh Pflicht.
