What all of the sub series are about
All of the sub series are about different things, so, to give you a better idea of what to read, I’ve given a brief summery of each of the sub series’.
Chronicles
This is the basic starting series, although it begins in the middle of Krynn’s history. It details the war of the lance, and in it you meet the companions, the characters that are most central to Krynn’s history.
Legends
This is the second series that tells us how Raistlin plots to become a god, it should be read following Chronicles
Tales
This is a wonderful collection of short stories that can be read in any order, although a number of stories from Tales I are continued in Tales II.
Heroes
This is actually only about three heroes, Huma with Sidekick Kaz and two others. The Heroes II Trilogy is the continuation of the first Trilogy.
Preludes
This is about what happened to the companions during the five years before the War of the Lance.
Meetings
This is about how the companions met and what they were like as children/teenagers.
Elven Nations
Read these three in order; they tell why the Qualinesti and Silvanesti aren’t best pals.
Dwarven Nations
Also read these in order; they tell why the dwarves aren’t buds.
Lost Histories
These give the early histories about a number of Krynn’s races. I suggest reading whichever races interest you first.
The Warriors
Tells the story of a bunch of famous warriors, including Soth, two War of the Lance heroes, and a warrior from each of the knighthoods.
Villains
Mostly War of the Lance bad guys
Defenders of Magic
Read these in order, they tell about an attack on sorcery and how it was stopped.
Dragons of a New Age
Also called the Fifth Age; this trilogy tells how a new set of companions defends Krynn against the Dragon Overlords. It’s a core trilogy, but often receives criticism. Unless it takes you years to read a book, read this trilogy because it is a core. Read them in order, although the first book is not as good as the second, except for the fifty pages containing Raph.
The Chaos War Series
This tells what people were doing during the Chaos War in order to save the world and stuff.
Bridges of Time Series
This tells what happened in the thirty years between the Chaos War and the Fifth Age Trilogy.
Lost Legends
Well! Since Dragonlance does not cover every single person in the rest of their series’ this talks about biggies that they missed, ones like Vinus Solamnus that you’ve heard of in other books.
The I’m going to go insane if they don’t stop coming up with all these series.
