Our view

“Dragons of a Fallen Sun” reopens “Dragonlance” with a bold reshaping of its world, launching Weis and Hickman’s “The War of Souls” trilogy. Some readers are startled by how much has changed, from the land and its powers to familiar characters; others relish that same upheaval. Readers new to this period of the saga may want some background first, and at 512 pages it is a substantial start.
