Feels like I'm reading a DND campaign which was fun. I found it surprisingly entertaining at points but it lulled from time to time.

My favourite all time series! I loved these books so much as-well as the following series. Every character is made with intention and purpose, they just don’t make true fantasy books like this anymore!

The original D & D book that started the sub genre. I just didn’t enjoy this as much as I did in the beginning but worth checking out if you love dungeons and dragons or interested as it helps you imagine what an adventure might be like. Wizards, fighters, druids, rogues, dwarves, half elves, and goblins all early on.

Interesting, easy read

The main theme reminds me a lot of The Lord of the Rings. I like how it is an easy reading level since I'm a slow reader to begin with. A chapter at a time was good for me.

excellent world building and character development

I have very much enjoyed the characters and plot of this book. A wonderfully detailed world creating vivid scenes in the imagination.

Slow and often somewhat mean-spirited.

very Good

I really enjoyed the story, it is a timeless work of art. I can’t wait to continue the adventure in Krynn

I got about 10 pages in and realized I would probably like watching an adaptation more than reading it unfortunately for me

I like this book. It is a basic fantasy set up, but with better story telling.

Rereading this as an adult though, this story has SERIOUS pacing issues. Some severe lagging areas, some lack of dynamics and drive. It was actually a bit of a slog to read through 20 years later.
