What was the original course of events before Tas was accidentally sent back in time, allowing the future to change? Given we are told in Astinus's Chronicles that Fistandantilus contacted his apprentice in the future, could Raistlin's have gone back to the past in the original timeline only to be drained by Fistandantilus rather than give versa? The Dark Queen's threat that the knowledge she gains from Tas will help her thwart the Heroes of the Lance in Chronicles leads to nothing. The writers seemed totally confused with the concept of time travel and appear to be making up the rules as they go along. Weis has said on a fansite that Hickman once explained the time travel paradoxes in a big diagram, but she could not explain them herself. A good editor would have told them to resolve this before publication. It's just vague, confusing bad writing and plotting. I didn't pick up on it as a teenager but it irritated me as an adult reader. Mar 03, M. Joseph Murphy rated it it was amazing. Sequels are rarely as goos as the original. The Legends trilogy is actually better than the original. Raistlin is one of my all time favourite characters and I know I'm not alone here. The relationship between the brothers is heart-wretching. If you love fantasy and have not read this book yet do it now. Apr 18, Gary Greysonet rated it it was amazing. War of the twins brings the Legends series proves once again that the quality is so even among the books it deserves mention for that alone. Raistlin and Caramon each come into power and their long troubled relationship as brothers diverts to a bitter rivalry, toward redemption through wisdom and mutual understanding. Paladine plays a subtly supervisory role in things as always, and Tasselhoff is as singular in manifestation as ever. View all 8 comments. Nov 09, Jason rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Fantasy, Teens. Shelves: young-adult , fantasy , adventure , audiobook , favorite-villains- antagonists , I remembered almost nothing of this second installment of the Legends trilogy going into the reread which is kind of surprising because there were a couple of hardcore scenes. In fact, the only thing I clearly recalled when I got to it was when a dwarf shaved his beard, and that's so inconsequential when pit against everything else that I'm not sure why it stuck. Perhaps a psychologist is needed here. By the end, even Tasslehoff, an insufferable eternal optimist, is having a difficult time finding anything nice to say about him. But is he truly a villain? Raistlin is so difficult to categorize. An argument can be made that he's a villain because he's certainly evil, but it just doesn't quite fit. He's definitely not a hero, and anti-hero is wrong also. Perhaps anti- villain? I was discussing this with a coworker, and he ran across a phrase that seems apt. Raistlin is evil fighting evil. He has the noble aspiration of defeating , the goddess of evil, and then taking her place, though he doesn't care who dies or who he has to flat out murder even if it's a friend or family member along the way. Out of the two of them, Takhisis is worse, hands down, but would you rather live in Hitler's Europe, or Stalin's? This involved Raist's attempts to get to the portal that will get him into the abyss so he can fight Takhisis, and how a war was started, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But there was one part I didn't understand. Either I missed something while listening to it which is quite possible , or there's a plot hole here you could drive the Bagger through. He finds this gnome with Tasslehoff, murders him, then takes the device. Several days later at the aforementioned inopportune time, Tasslehoff has this device, and is standing right in front of Raistlin with it preparing to use it with Caramon. Raist doesn't seem to care. Did he forget that the device is supposed to fuck up everything? Why does the device even still exist? Since you know it's supposed to ruin your life's ambition, why not destroy it? And how did Tasselhoff get it back? I clearly remember Raistlin taking it away, but do not recall it going back to Tas. Being a , he could've slipped it out of Raist's pocket at some point, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't stated. This audiobook was another one done for the Library of Congress, and the reader John Polk, I think did fine, but the copy I had came from a friend who got it from Lord knows where, and it was substandard. I could deal with the occasional blips and skips just fine since they didn't happen too often and didn't last too long. They were quarter second skips, not whole minutes or anything. I got to within about five or so pages to the end, maybe less than 10 minutes worth of material, and then it was over. The ending was missing. But what do you expect when something is related, even in the remotest degree, to Congress? Luckily fantasy nerds are unscrupulous folks, and someone has posted the entire book online in PDF form, and I was able to finish it up And now that I think about it, stand by Anyway, this book was good, fun, etc. Sep 18, Annathelle26 rated it it was amazing Shelves: epic-fantasy. Another amazing story, exactly like its predecessor! The first book made me have great expectations about the sequel, and I am happy to say that these expectations were fully met. The action scenes and the general plot kept being interesting, the comic interludes were really cute, and the descriptions vivid and well-written. There were scenes that made me feel awe, there were others that had me at the edge of my seat, and others that made me incredibly sad. However, ok, there were als Another amazing Dragonlance story, exactly like its predecessor! However, ok, there were also parts that seemed somewhat boring to me. But they aren't enough to affect my five-star rating. I tried really hard to understand Raistlin. He had the most complicated story arc, and it was really interesting to see the changes in his mood, the unexpected moments where he displayed affection and happiness, as contrasted to his normal cynic and evil nature. It really made the reader think about whether he is fully evil or if there is still a spark of good in him. While reading, many were the times I felt as confused as Caramon in this matter. Neaning the end, he almost had me give him a second chance There really is nothing else that matters to him more than his magic and his powers. Now, onto the third and final book! In general, I have to say that whatever I've read of the Dragonlance universe so far was fantastic, and with each new book, the series is starting to firmly establish itself in my list of favourite fantasy books Mar 08, David rated it it was amazing Shelves: fantasy. Raistlin is set on a path not of his own choosing. Who is he, Raistlin or Fistandalus and not even his own brother is certain. After his confrontation with Fistandalus not even Raistlin is certain who won for Fistandalus was renown for taking bodies of younger men to house his evil soul. He is convinced he knows better though and will not let Cameron dissuade him Raistlin is set on a path not of his own choosing. He is convinced he knows better though and will not let Cameron dissuade him from this task. His brother is now his champion, having regained his prodigious strength and fighting ability. It is clear though that Raistlin will betray him, if it serves his purpose. Only a Kender would desire such a fate. An excellent tale, very moody. It is interesting to read a book which was written nearly 30 years ago and it is still a popular book among fantasy fiction readers. After reading some novel, reading a Dragonlance novel is really interesting. Dragonlance world is more epic in style. Ok there are few characters and we are mostly reading similar characters and seeing similar places in Dr War of the Twins is the second book of Dragonlance: Legends series, which was written by and Tracy Hickman in Ok there are few characters and we are mostly reading similar characters and seeing similar places in Dragonlance but when a book is well written they can be acceptable. Main characters are really likeable, maybe they are not great but it is always good to read about Caramon, Raistlin and Tas. What a great middle book! Rather than lagging in action, the action builds incrementally until the very strong climax at the end. I can't wait to read the final book in this trilogy. Weiss and Hickman are masters at character building and world building at the same time so that neither characters nor setting suffers. It's unbelievable how deftly they move from place to place and time to time with such detail. I've now read seven Dragonlance books and am nowhere near tired of this world. And that's weird, because game-inspired books do tend to suck big time. And that's just great, because too often fantasy heroes tend to be completely immune to distress and we know that human mind doesn't work that way. This is definitely a worthwhile, fantasy, adventure that I enjoyed very much. Would recommend! They write so simple yet artistically complicated! I can't wait to see how the twin brothers handle this one! Dec 30, Chip Hunter rated it it was amazing. War of the Twins is one of my absolute favorite books to come out of the Weis-Hickman machine. Mind-bending concepts of time travel and of the future locked in place combined with world-altering events makes for a dramatic and intense read that will keep you up late at night. It is also perhaps the most emotionally tense book in all of Dragonlance. The interactions between Raistlin and Caramon and Crysiana and Tas are fantastic. The strange love triangle between the brothers and Crysiana makes f War of the Twins is one of my absolute favorite books to come out of the Weis-Hickman machine. The strange love triangle between the brothers and Crysiana makes for interesting reading and also helps the reader really appreciate the emotions of the characters. Of all the characters, Raistlin in particularly really starts to reveal his true self: merciless and determined. While at times you feel like Raist must be starting to actually feel for the people that love him, it is quickly revealed that he only cares about his ultimate goal. Caramon comes into his own in this book, leading an army and realizing that he doesn't need his brother in order to live his own life. Crysiana doesn't evolve too much in this one but does grow in her sense of purpose and in her faith. Tas kind of gets left by the wayside for much of this novel, but comes back for dramatic impact on the overall story. The only complaint I can think of is that the Dwarfgate wars were sort of skimmed over, not revealing too much detail as far as the actual battles are concerned. The leaders of the various armies and factions could have been better fleshed out, especially Kharas and the leaders of the plainsmen and hill dwarves. These are minor regrets thought and Weis and Hickman leave much to the reader's imagination which probably enhances the overall effect of the story. They focus on the main characters and the emotional battles they are going through, and that would have been taken away from some if they had included too much detail about the side stories and characters. Overall I'd say this is one of the more mature and grim of the Dragonlance novels, without very much humor at all and a lot of tense and dark moments. The vivid characterizations of the book sold me. I'd recommend this entire trilogy to anyone in for a good emotional story. Sep 03, Cathi rated it it was amazing. It's a word synonymous for many with love, safety, family, and contentment. For others, it is a hollow word; a single syllable as haunting as an unseen specter and something to flee from and it is that word that becomes the focal point between two twin brothers. One abhors it, while the other grasps desperately to the memories it holds. I could go on about plot points, but honestly, since these reviews are just for my future me, I'll keep it simple. There comes a point when ties have to be Home. There comes a point when ties have to be severed, especially the ones that call us away from our best life, but it is not always obvious when threads need to be cut. On the other hand, sometimes when we seek something for selfish gain or something greater than ourselves, we have to stretch the bonds of love and family so they don't drown with us. That's what this entire book supports. Gods, good vs evil vs neutrality, time travel, and all the bits in between support that first and second point. In closing, I suppose when we all hear the words, 'Come home Is it warmed mead and spiced potatoes, served along the side of a fiery-haired wife, and a future of love ahead? Or, is it something unspeakable, because the pain is too great to give words to? For the Brothers Majere, I hope they figure it out.

Having been bribed with the Globe of Present Time Passing, created by Raistlin, Astinus reveals that it is in the magical fortress of Zhaman, located in dwarven lands. The scene shifts to , who finds himself in the Abyss. Tasslehoff encounters Takhisis , the Queen of Darkness, who tells him how he has altered time and possibly allowed her to take over the world. Tas meets Gnimsh, a gnome, who claims he is a failure because all of his inventions worked gnomes in the Dragonlance world constantly invent, and more often than not they fail. The gnomes believe failure is a means of learning. Gnimsh agrees to help Tasslehoff get out of the Abyss and starts to fix the device of Time Journeying.

She encounters a place stricken by plague and finds a dying false cleric, who she tries to convert. She discovers that people are still too angry to accept the true gods yet. Raistlin and Caramon begin to joke and share memories. Later, Raistlin and Caramon go to the village where Crysania is. Raistlin uses his immense power to summon a massive fire that razes the town.

Caramon and his army soon capture the fortress of Pax Tharkas, thanks to the help of traitorous dark dwarves. The mountain dwarves retreat to Thorbardin and close the gates, preparing for war.

They feel amazingly good as long as you're captivated enough to actually enjoy them. But when you no longer enjoy them, all the huge flaws come crashing down on you. Nothing about this series is particularly great. It is, however, a wonderful and enchanting series when it actually works. And sometimes, it simply doesn't. War of the Twins is by far the weakest DragonLance book I have read so far. And yet I'm as excited as ever to read the next one. View 2 comments.

You know, for a novel with an evil time-traveling master magician so full of himself that he wants to kill a god to become a god, a twin brother who alternately wants to kill him and protect him, and being dumped in a strange time to just "happen" to lead a huge army to defeat a bunch of dwarves It's true.

The war stuff is certainly a lot more fun than the previous book's gladiator schtick. Even the brotherly love and the nasty betrayal is pretty awesome. But what really makes the book is the epic romance. A magician of absolute evil and a cleric of absolute good, an undeniable romance for the ages. Hell, even his most bald-face lies have a germ of truth to them and while he's trying to turn her away from him, she just wants to trust him more. And more. It's a weird thing, this honesty. It doesn't hurt that he wants to kill the Goddess of Darkness and that's kind of her calling. But still. These two are a trip. I totally get why these books are classics. View all 9 comments. I will concede these points: 1. So, yes, I concede that this isn't the best book in the world. But I love it anyway. Somewhere, despite all of its many flaws, War of the Twins speaks to me. There is good in Raistlin, more than even the authors know, and his good is fundamental to the evil he consciously perpetrates. Raistlin does some bad things because he has seen and experienced terrible things in his life, and he never wants those things to happen to him or any of the oppressed again. So he will do what he believes he must for the good of the many and if that means he will have power, so be it. This is contrasted and, again, I doubt the authors' intended this with people who believe they are good, who are appalled by Raistlin's actions, then carry out similar or worse actions through prejudice, ignorance or mere omission. Their evil is unconscious and I am not convinced it is even recognized as evil by the authors , but if it is consciously undertaken they actively think of it as good. We have the "evil" man doing what he does because he thinks it is right, and "good" folks doing evil without even realizing it or rationalizing their actions with ease. Regardless of its flaws, War of the Twins is a personal fave for me simply because of the way it stumbles onto something meaningful in the good and evil debate, and because it offers me something that few other books can: license to love the "bad guy" Raistlin, who may not be so bad after all.

In this one, Raistlin, Caramon, and Crysania escape the Cataclysm and jump forward to a time where people have abandoned the gods and are desperate to survive a rough world. Meanwhile, Tas has jumped to a place he could never have imagined. This was an easy five stars for me as I believe this book was amazing. This book is all about the relationships as there isn't much action in this offering. The main relations This is the second book of a trilogy and I strongly recommend reading them in order. The main relationship is between the twin brothers Caramon and Raistlin. Granted their relationship was delved into in the previous trilogy and the first book of this trilogy. This is the book it is on full display. We get glimpses of what their relationship use to be like and when they were close. But is the gap that is present now too wide for them to bridge or is it that Raistlin can be a complete ass in his quest for power? I do love him as a character though. Throw in a beautiful girl into the mix and you have a complicated but entertaining delve into relationships. I will give that there is nothing new here with brother against brother concept. It has been done many times in the real world and fiction. But for my money this is a wonderful portrayal of it here and one cannot help feel for both brothers throughout this book. Like I said for a fantasy book it is light on the action. I didn't care as the exploring of the various relationships made sure I kept on reading. Throw in the character growth for the characters and the finale and there is little wonder why this is my favorite of the original six books of this universe. I still have one more so that is subject to change. View 1 comment.

At the end of Time of the Twins the first volume , Caramon, Raistlin and Crysania, after having traveled years into the past, had skedaddled out of the legendary city of Istar, on account of it was about to be smoten by the Gods as retribution for the arrogance of the Priestking and the other inhabitants. In the second volume, we find out that they skedaddled forward in time about a hundred years, to a time when the world is still recovering from the Cataclysm, but before Takhisis, the Dark Queen, has put into motion the events that will lead to the war of the original Dragonlance Chronicles. Raistlin, you see, has a Plan for dealing with Takhisis. And, being Raistlin, it's not a particularly nice plan So he and his brother Caramon with whom he's had something of a grudging reconciliation after the events of the first book will recruit an army and march on a legendary fortress, recreating, not by coincidence, events from the life of the legendary dark mage Fistandantilus. Oh, yes, and the kender Tasslehoff Burrfoot also survives through rather extraordinary means, although he has only minimal presence in this book until he rejoins his friends near the end.

What they DIDN'T realize was that this was the second in this particular storyline, and since I'd never read any of the other Dragonlance books I ended up jumping in with no prior knowledge of the characters, or the world, or the story.

The characters were so wonderfully written that I ended up falling in love with them anyway, even without really knowing at first who exactly they were, why they were in the past, or what Raistlin and Cameron were trying to accomplish. It's also probably one of the reasons why I like Tasselhoff, when he annoys the tar out of everybody else. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here.

While the books still have a certain entertainment value it's hard not to notice their many flaws — not least the underdeveloped characters Crysania and the serious plot holes. The problem is a character ca I was a big Dragonlance fan in my teens and decided to re-read Legends recently mainly out of nostalgia. The problem is a character can only ever be as smart as his creator s Weis and Hickman spend a lot of time telling us he's an evil genius but show us little evidence of this. Why does it never occur to him to investigate the circumstances of Fistandantilus's death before he goes back in time? Why doesn't he check Astinus's Chronicles? How does he not become aware of Fistandantilus's own plot to usurp Tahkisis when he drains his life with the bloodstone. We are led to believe Raistlin gains his memories. Why does Raistlin give the magical device back to Caramon? He mistakenly believes the Dark Queen has fixed it, rather than Gnimsh. But it he believes it has been fixed why risk it being activated just has he's attempting to gain access to the portal, knowing this was how Fistandantilus died? Again, it just makes Raistlin look clumsy and foolish rather than the arch-schemer he's supposed to be. At least then he doesn't look like an idiot. Other problems: It's also not clear how Raistlin doesn't destroy himself in killing Fistandantilus. I always understood that Fistandantilus helped him pass the Test in the future Raistlin's past after his body was destroyed in Zahman.
