Dragons of Autumn Twilight is the first of the Dragonlance novels that was ever published. I picked it up having played Dungeons and Dragons a few times before, but having never read fantasy fiction before. Of course - because it's fantasy - there are a lot of things that happen, and the story, on a whole, is pretty interesting. With the exception of one character, I would say that none were very deep, which was surprising. Also, there were many points in the story where the action did not seem to move fast enough. In short, it felt like you were playing Dungeons and Dragons, which can be an extremely tedious process. In the end, however, Weis and Hickman show that they can craft an compelling story when viewed on a large-enough scale. You just have to be willing to sit through some of the slower parts.
