Dragonlance: The Annotated Chronicles is a brilliant work of fantasy, adventure, action, and drama with a touch of mystery and romance. It is truly a unique book. Absolutely magnificent! A good story (Ok, so it's basically Bahamut vs. Tiamat just like in one out of every twelve AD&D quests, but it's still cool) with a cast of great, unforgetable characters. There's the slightly dull but brave and compassionate Caramon, the slightly sinister, highly cynical, power-hungry mage Raistlin, the comical Fizban (my favorite character), the happy-go-lucky little kender, Tasslehoff, the grumpy old dwarf, Flint, the naive elf, Laurana and her older brother, Gilthanas, they're adopted brother, Tanis, the power-hungry Dragon Highlord, Kitiara, the valiant and honorable Sturm, the mysterious Goldmoon and her companion, Riverwind, and many, many others. A must read!
