The origin story of Raistlin Majere, of Chronicles and Legends fame. This book covers Raistlin's early life, from childhood through his test at the tower of high sorcery. Fans of this fascinating character will enjoy this look at his rise from obscurity. 3 stars.3.5/5 At one point in the book I felt like quitting but the urge to read on prevailed and towards the end (last two parts) it finally managed to get interesting.
I have the Audible Audio book it was very good narrator was wonderful I listened to it two times
Fantastic! Raislin is my favorite character, and any series centered on him is hard to beat.
As far as fantasy goes, I became a real fan with Dragonlance, specifically those authored by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Those books are forever and ever and evermore - this is my inner teenage speak! - the benchmark for all my fantasy reading. Which is not saying very much, or setting very high expectations when the minimum standard is pulp. I am certainly a slightly more discerning reader now, having read better works, but when it comes to feelings of nostalgia, no other fantasy series *
This was my first foray into the Dragonlance Universe. The book was okay - a little tropey - the audiobook narrator was good. I'm finding Weis just may not be my style. I'll take a break from the series after this book but may come back if I need something light.
Anything with Raistlin Majere in it is going to get 5 stars from me. :)
