The Legend of Huma was the first Dragonlance novel I ever read, at about age 12. I remember sitting on my Grandma's patio in a deck chair and reading it for hours, stopping only to lament that I was getting closer to the end...ah, the halcyon days of a pre-internet attention span! I loved it, and I spent the next couple years devouring everything from the 'classic' era of Dragonlance. I was loyal, however, to the original Companions and did not venture beyond their generation (although read the villains books, etc. - anything from that era) but never read Chaos/War of Souls etc. I stopped reading them at 14, but at 45, I feel I'm old enough to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane and have been collecting old copies from eBay, striving to find copies with the original artwork. It's turned into a rather nice hobby.

I read Dragonlance in my early teens too and collected quite a few of them. I have to admit, I had no idea that there was a direct connection between them and Dungeons and Dragon as I’ve never played the game ever. I loved these. I used to visit the Walden bookstore and hangout in the back reviewing which books I’d buy whether Dragonlance or Baby Sitters Club or more. I miss those days.

I would like to propose a different entry point. In high school I read the Legand of Huma. Then as I started reading the first trilogy, I was surprised how much discussion there was about Huma and his adventures. Having read the Legand of Huma, I already understood what they make so much reference to. And it doesn't give any spoilers, due to it being only legand by the time of the first trilogy.

I re-read most of my collection of Classic Era books as an adult and still loved them. For me, this was a nostalgia trip and also a great way to get back into the continuation of the main story line with the books released after 1995/6 and some of the interesting spin off trilogies. I already added some books to my wishlist and am sure I'll be rewatching this video to plan future book purchases. Thank you for running through all these books and how they tie together. Super useful.

I have I'd say about 30% of all of the books physically and it's always fun diving into used bookstores to find more. It's interesting to see the scope of the entire Dragonlance novelscape, it seems I have a pretty decent chunk of the books. With the Classic Era collections, I have a few collections with 1 or 2 missing volumes. My Preludes collection was actually inherited from my aunt who read them on release, but I was able to complete it by finding Kendermore and Flint the King, very fun. I will be bookmarking this and sending it to any of my friends who will suddenly get into Dragonlance because the new trilogy is going to be big.

Based on what you covered, I will be checking out Lost Chronicles, Raistlin Chronicles, Kingpriest and Defender of Magic. That should keep me busy end the next thrilogy comes out. You really should review the new books!

I started watching this from a Nostalgia perspective... and got drawn back into the Universe again. I watched it through - found all the novels on Amazon and bookmarked them haha.

Fantastic Video!! and a good reading guide, I didn't realise how many titles I had missed. I actually liked Jean Rabe's books the best, they were the intro for me into the series when I was 10 years old. I did a lot of checking while went through the video and for those who like audio books most titles are actually available on audible, though sadly not all, but I'd say 90% are.

This is very helpful! In my opinion, a novice reader should start with the original trilogy, but since I more-or-less remember what happens in that world, I think I'll restart with Legend of Huma and build my way up chronologically through my favorite books back to the War of Souls.

I read Dragonlance in my early teens, the original Chronicles. It was great reading for me then. The writing style of the first few books might be kind of simplistic for adults, and I think that's why a lot of people preferred the Legends trilogy, where the writing really matured. But, even with the more simple writing, it's a very compelling story, just as far as adventure goes. This guide will be great for anyone who wants to either get into Dragonlance, or get further into it.

Huma was my introduction to DL, it was the newest release & I was looking for a new universe to be immersed in. Then I immediately followed it up with Chronicles & Legends. It was a great flow, to me, at the time, everything was an expansion on the foundation Legend of Huma had laid. Watching a new generation of heroes rediscover the lost & forgotten knowledge of the first DL story I'd read, created a really great redemption arc for the races of Krynn.

This is a good point. Thinking about this more, I think I should've put them in a Quasi Core status like the Raistlin Chronicles or Lost Chronicles. The reason I wouldn't make them Core books is because they aren't truly foundational for other books. Maybe if the series had continued on then the events in Dark Disciple could've become more important.

Well done on putting this together, im only about halfway through your video. I started off reading The Legend of Huma, then Kaz the Minotaur, when I was 6 years old and kept up with all novels as they were released in the 80s and 90s. One caveat id like to inject: Soulforge was a complete money grab at the time and most fans were extremely disappointed with its reproduction of basically the same story already told from the Test of the Twins and references from other books. Everyone I knew shared the same disappointing sentiments regarding Soulforge, and we began to have concerns in the direction Dragonlance was heading.

I'd say it'd go in this order - The Soulforge - Chronicles - Lost Chronicles - Preludes (personally outside Brothers Majere, they aren't the best though) + Brothers in Arms (Raistlin Chronicle vol. 2) + Dalamar the Dark - Legends trilogy - War of Souls or Chaos (I'm forgetting which came first. Chaos right?) - Legend of Huma, Fistandantilus Reborn and other ones that happen way after/before the main storyline - War of Souls (pretty sure it is the latter - Dark Disciples - Tales, Lost Histories, and other non-chronological/vital reading order stories. Most of what is in Lost Chronicles is actually based on Legends. Legends is purely about Raistlin's continued Journey (and Caramon's). The Soulforge is a great start point because it actually explains thoroughly HOW the Core group met. While other Heroes may be featured heavily in stories, in fact ALL of the core characters are from 'that town'. As such I see it as vital to read at minimum Raistlin Chronicles/Hourglass Mage BEFORE Legends; otherwise the reader has an incomplete understanding why the hell Raistlin is what he is/what he does.
@zivilynsnavel572
@zivilynsnavel572 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah it's always kind of tough to figure out when to read any of the prequel books. You could read them before getting to Chronicles or Legends because chronologically they take place earlier. But they were all published later, so aren't really necessary to understand Chronicles & Legends. And like you said, not all of those prequel books were the best. Raistlin Chronicles are pretty good, so I could see them coming first. The chronological order vs publish date tension is one reason why there will never be a single best reading order for everyone.

I read the original trilogy back in the 80's then went to Huma and Kaz the Minatour. I loved the Damon saga and linesha Trilogy. I went back about 12 years ago and bought the original Trilogy and Twins Trilogy in Hardback then did the same with Damon saga and war of souls. They need to do a movie trilogy off these.

I was really hoping that I would be able to get to know how many books I missed about Kang's Regiment. Sadly, it seems that Doom Brigade, Draconian Measures, and the FIVE short story books that have the plight of the Regiment between the two books are all that have been published. I would have really enjoyed picking everything up again if that had been the case. I've read the greater majority of the books listed here from the Classic era, along with the short stories and Kang's Regiment from the Fifth Age, but the only books I recall ever reading from the Age Of Mortals is the War Of Souls trilogy. I do recall buying the minotaur trilogy, but my sister is the one who read them. She had a rather UNhealthy fixation with Kaz and, by extension, the Kaziganthi Minotaurs as a whole.

So, I am old school, Chronicles and Legends only, with a few other of the older 1 off books read. Can I just skip 5th age and go to war of souls? Or will I have no idea what's going on by skipping Jean's trilogy? I'm getting back into DL with audiobooks.

You can skip to War of Souls after reading 2nd Gen and Summer Flame. There's a lot of world changes that occur in the Dragons of a New Age trilogy though. Especially the first book. War of Souls tries to get you caught up with that stuff; it can be a bit jarring if you skip forwards, but it's doable.

I’ve got close to 80 DL books. The “holy six” are the best, of course, but I like pretty much all of the classic era 1984-1995) and the series which continued on into 1996. I’m not much of a fan of the books after that. There are a few gems though. Great video here and an excellent guide to reading the books. I started in June 1984 with Autumn Twilight and was hooked. I still have all of my DL books and enjoy reading them again. Also, from the AD&D perspective The Atlas of Krynn, The Artwork of Krynn as well as Leaves from The Inn of The Last Home are very handy to have. The original AD&D DL hardback players guide is very good.

I've thought I read everything in this universe until today. I had no idea there were this many books outside of the core series.

First: thank you for this explanation, is very very helpful because i cant read all the books (most are very difficult to get) and now i can choose those i may want to try and get. Second: please can you (or someone else really) do something like this for forgotten realms novels not from R A Salvatore? it is easy to understand the Drizzt sequence/line but there are so many other books in FR and i'm completely lost. Thank you.

My guess is that Chronicles was meant to be a trilogy from the start. And that naming the books after seasons kind of left the door open to continuation later. I kind of wish Dragons of Summer Flame had been made into another trilogy though, there was so much going on during that story and you can tell a lot was left out.

This is exactly what I was looking for you did a fantastic job with this the only thing Is is the reading order the way you put them on the screen Because sometimes you will mention a series that actually was released after the one you spoke of before and it is actually a prequel I’m still a little foggy on reading order thank you great job!!!

Ah, you're talking about Tracy Hickman's Anvil of Time adventure? It was originally published in Dungeon Magazine #86. If you can find that, you'll get a much better version with color maps and stuff.

Darkness and Light was the first dragonlance book I read. Sturm and Kitiara travelling to the moon with a group of gnomes lol. After that I jumped around like crazy with whatever I could find at the library. Read everything out of order, but it all kinda came together regardless. I did manage to at least read the core trilogies together, as by then I had enough money to buy the books.
