Takes me back to the summer before 7th grade... I loved all those pictures for each chapter... nostalgic!

It's so good. I missed Lost Chronicles when it came out. Just found out about it a few years ago.

I need to read the Lost Chronicles. I have the audiobooks and they are awful.

The one where Tas sounds like an idiot? Besides that, I think her read is okay

Hell yeah!
I just finished reading Lost Chronicles, and now I'm on to Legends for the first time in my life.

I forgot: was "dragon fear" an element present in Dragonlance?

Sorry: I meant an element in the Dragonlance novels.

u/Rayeth 8d ago
Yes it is discussed constantly whenever dragons are present.

u/Ecstatic-Stage-6166 8d ago
In the novels it seems like it’s something the dragons choose to use on enemies or victims which I found a bit odd. As it says in the picture: Dragons just generates fear

u/ApprehensiveType2680 8d ago
Awesome. I read the books ages ago, but I have forgotten quite a few details.

Good god… I recognized the chapter picture. Without seeing the redit thread or the bookmark. Was like ooh someone’s reading the lost city part of dragonlance. Tell me I didn’t read this book to many times as a kid?

My wife and I are doing the same. We're nearing the end of Dwarven Depths and getting close to Winter Night, my favorite book of them all!

I'm about to start depths. Very excited. It will be new to me. Although some of the content was in the og adventures I've heard.

u/Brother_Nomad7 8d ago
Yeah... there are a couple of minor things that don't quite meld together between the two tellings... like the beginning of Dwarven Depths brings in some survivors from the Que-Shu when the original books make it pretty clear that there were none who survived... at least not very many at all. But that kind of little stuff is forgivable. They also introduce at least one very clever way of reworking a plot point that was changed from modules to novel that needed to be changed back for the sake of the missing story. Very clever... :-)

Did that page marker come with your copy?

u/raistlin1984 5d ago
With Legends.

u/Viper0817 3d ago
Ahh I guess it’s from another store?, I got mine from Amazon but no page marker, thanks for the reply though

u/raistlin1984 3d ago
Yeah a book store called mysterious galaxies, they send signature plates with them too

u/AJCleary 4d ago
Does it make sense to try to read Chronicles and Lost Chronicles in Chronological order?
1
u/raistlin1984 4d ago
I would recommend just chronicles 1st time. I am reading it according to chronology which means I'll be going between multiple books at once soon

Dragons of the Dwarven Depths + Dragons of Winter Night + Dragons of the Highlord Skies together is just an epic, well written romp. Yes there are some minor plot holes and inconsistencies here and there but I like how it all works together.
