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.War of the Twins is the second book of Dragonlance: Legends series, which was written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman in 1986.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 Forgotten Realms 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
"Dragonlance: Legends" is actually a good series. 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.
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.

I was a big Dragonlance fan in my teens and decided to re-read Legends recently mainly out of nostalgia. 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.SPOILERS The main problem I had re-reading the book is that's its difficult to reconcile Raistlin's supposed cunning & intelligence with the major mistakes he makes in executing his plan. The problem is a character
I really enjoyed this book, it brought to light a side of the characters involved that you just don't get from the Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy. It really shows the lengths that Raistlin is willing to go to in order to achieve his goals, the leader that Caramon could have been if he hadn't spent so many years coddling his twin, and how Tas always seems to mess things up in the best way possible to save the day anyway. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I thought the
