Hello all,
My name is Coty and I had a question for anyone willing to help me out. I was starting to read Summer Flame but stopped because it seemed I should maybe read Second Generation first?
I have read the Chronicles and Legends series loved them both very much and was continuing my Dragonlance obsession with Summer Flame but I want to read the books in the best possible order.
Any help would be appreciated I guess I am new to the Dragonlance world since I have not read ALL the books yet. |

I too am very glad to hear that, all of it. Dragonlance inpired me to get into writeing too. I have a three part serise finished and ready for publishing just as soon as I can catch my big break. You can read about them in the Music of Darkness thread.

After reading these books, it really has changed the way I want to actually write myself. I started writing as a hobby years ago, and chruned out an almost complete novel (length wise), my grammar was terrible and it needs major editing but I started writing it almost 10 years ago. Saved the file and then a few years ago started back into it. Saved it and it has been shelved ever since. After reading these books it really makes me want to go back and finish what I started and revise it. That book is more science fiction but I don't know the more I read the more i get inspired. I have another book I starter about 3 or 4 years ago called Oriane, which has similarities to Dragonlance which strikes me as funny because when i was writing that book I had never read Dragonlance before.....Anyway love this series and the fans of it all seem great!! |

Oh I agree no book has ever got me so involved with the characters, just recently Second Generation introducing me to Tanin and Sturm and Palin, Caramon's sons, whom I enjoyed so much. Then reading Summer Flame, lets just say I was unhappy after reading about Steel and Palin's meeting and circumstances. About half way through Summer Flame and loving it as well. |

Glad to hear all of that man. Song of Fire and Ice has so far been unable to catch my attenion just because....I dont know it just doenst look very interesting but Game of Thrones is definetly on my list. Dragonlance is definetly the only fantasy serise that has ever touched me so deeply. I felt genuinly sad when ever one of the companions was faced with horrible tragedy or passed on. Dragonlance fan forever

I will probably have to get War of Souls Trilogy after I finish Summer Flame. I may read my Song of Fire and Ice box set I got for Christmas from my wife first. Love the show, Game of Thrones is great, my older brother says the Books are amazing 1-3 he was not fond of book 4 though? Anyway, I am a Dragonlance fan more so than anything else I have been reading. Just love the characters and the world of Krynn

The War of the Souls is pretty awsome and I would say its just as good as the war of The Lance but a lot more goes on and it can get a little confuseing but its still good. I know exactly what you mean, but its fun seeing all of the companions older and with kids of their own. River Wind and Gold Moon just kind of drop off the map for a while since their story was pretty much all told.
No spoilers for us we have all already read it lol

Finished 2nd Generation loved it. Enjoyed Caramon's kids story as well as the others. Starting Summer Flame now. Really enjoying these books. My older brother told me after summer flame they are not as good. But a friend told me the War of Souls trilogy was good though. I like these characters, it was sad reading Caramon and Tanis getting older though, it is almost like you want more adventures with the original crew. Also i notice Riverwind and Goldmoon's kids are really not talked about other than Caramon's boys liking thier girls.
*SPOILER* Anyway Summer Flame so far is pretty cool I figured Raist's daughter must be one of the "mud people" elves at the beginning I forgot their name. Anyway thanks for all your replies! Hopefully one day one of my books will become as fun as these are to read. |

Yep Caramon`s kids are in there alright, as well as Tanis`s son, ande Sturm and Kitara`s boy unfortunately Raistlins daughter does not make an apperance but Summer Flame makes up for that Hope that you enjoy it

Expecting my copy of Second Generation today, I started fellowship of the ring the other day so I will probably go ahead and read that trilogy before I get back on my Dragonlance reading, but I am excited to read 2nd Generation because I was enjoying Summer Flame before I stopped reading it.
I know 2ndG is about children of the characters I loved in the Chronicles and Legends, Caramon was my favorite character (I am always the tank in RPGs with my buddies) and I am pretty sure his kids are in the 2ndG book...I loved the Legends trilogy almost as much as the Chronicles maybe even a little more..it is close |

Thanks everyone!! I knew once I started reading SUmmer FLame I should have read 2nd G first. SO I stopped. I have not bought 2nd G yet though. Ebay has it reasonably priced though. I have recently read the Hobbit too and I have to say I like Dragonlance better loved the Hobbit though... |
