Lol Once you are done with these then you can go and read the other books. If this is too confusing just let me know. There are also books about the Mejer twings brothers in arms and soulfordge If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I work at Palanthis so ask away lol An N P.S By reading these books, you can have some awesome disussions. There is so much going on in this world, that its hard to keep up. These books will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love with these characters, that you will love to hate, and for some, you will root for.

Or give some reading advice to new readers. I think that because there are so many books that takes place in this world that it can be overwhelming to a newby. I would like to hear from others, as I am by no means an expert. *smile* Grace -----Original Message----- From: Grace Pires [mailto:silvara@xxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2011 10:49 PM To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: Gaps in series and contest reminder Hi Shelly: In my opinion, a new reader should start by reading the Chronicles which are Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night Dragons of Spring Dawning (being rescanned) These 3 books will give the reader a good understanding about the world of Krynn. Many of the books are prequels to the chronicles. For example The meeting Sextet and preludes tells the story of the companions which is only slightly eluded in the chronicles. The preludes are not in the collection. The cataclysm is mentioned in the chronicles and so there is a trilogy about it. There are elves and Dwarves and so there are trilogies giving more details about events mentioned in the chronicles. Since we want to add the whole collection any addition will be great. But if you want to scan and have a particular preference let me know. Here is the time line as I posted a few weeks ago. Dragonlance is a medieval fantasy world with elves, dwarves, kender, dragons and other mythical creatures. The main story begins with Dragons of Autumn Twilight where a group of friends meet up at their favorite inn after a 5-year hiatus. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman wrote the main story line. There are many books written by other authors about historical events, legends, historical figures, major and minor characters. Even some villains have stories. For example, the Meeting Sextet describes how the group of friends met, and the preludes describes the friends adventures in the intervening 5 years. In my opinion, even though many of the side novels take place chronologically before the Chronicles, they do not have to be read first. Below you will find a list of books that should actually be read in order. However, if you aren't interested in side lines, you can skip the chaos series. You may want to read some of the bridges of time series because it fills in the gap between summer flame and dragons of a new age. But if you want you can just stick with the main event. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Dragons of Autum Twilight (DragonLance Chronicles #1) Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/21670? Life-long friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales of strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chance encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman, who bears a magical crystal staff, draws the companions deeper into the shadows, forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world. No one expected them to be heroes. Least of all, themselves. Dragons of Winter Night (DragonLance Chronicles #2) Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman 0-7869-3067-5 http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/22658?
