Our view
“Dragons of Autumn Twilight” is fantasy adventure straight from the gaming table, written above all to be fun. Some readers are fond of the band of companions and the way its members play off one another, while admitting it looks slight beside other epic fantasy. Others cannot warm to the characters and prefer the chapters where the story turns grim and shows what war costs. It opens the Chronicles trilogy.

About the book
Dragons of Autumn Twilight is a 1984 fantasy novel by American writers Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, based on a series of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) game modules. It was the first Dragonlance novel, and first in the Chronicles trilogy, which, along with the Dragonlance Legends trilogy, are generally regarded as the core novels of the Dragonlance world. Dragons of Autumn Twilight details the meeting of the Companions and the early days of the War of the Lance. The novel corresponds with the first two Dragonlance game modules, Dragons of Despair and Dragons of Flame, but with a different ending. It introduces many of the characters that are the subject of later novels and short stories.
