Racist. Defiantly sexist. Unbearably straight.

Really good! It kept me wanting to read. It ended on a cliff hanger as there are two other books in this trilogy. Looking forward to starting the next one.

This book, along with the other two in the Legends trilogy, was one of my favourites as a kid. The characters may be the same from the Chronicles trilogy, but only in name. The authors overhauled them completely, moving beyond simple stereotypes to create compelling individuals. This is still far from a work of high literature, but in my opinion this is one of the better modern fantasy books out there and I would definitely recommend giving it a shot if you like the genre.

Couldn't connect as much with this

new grouping

. Would have liked to see more

of the events leading up to the Calamity. Didn't like the time skip once the storm started.

Not a lot happened and it felt stretched out. Tas Goat

So obviously, this is my jam. Just look at the cover. Look at that clearly evil cloaked figure sensually holding a beautiful, severe-looking cleric. That's It.

I've listened to the abridged audiobook before, so I learned a few new things! Crysania is a stone cold arrogant jerk and I genuinely love that; it's so much more interesting. Raistlin is so soft with her, even (especially) when he's being manipulative, which is precisely the content I came to see. Tasslehoff is maddening but I enjoy him anyway. Some other faves: Soth (hot??), Denubis (bless this normal dude trying his best), and Kitiara (too cool for school).

Caramon was the character responsible for taking this down a star. He couldn't make up his mind, or stop crying.

I clearly missed a lot of lore here, but not enough to distract from the characters. I still had a great time.
