About this listen

A courageous heroine trapped in the distant past is determined to return to her own time—without changing the shape of the world forever—as the New York Times bestselling Dragonlance series continues in this thrilling sequel to Dragons of Deceit.

A clash of powerful magical forces sets off the Graygem of Gargath, sending Destina Rosethorn and her companions deeper into the past than she intended—to the age of Huma Dragonsbane and the Third Dragon War. Now, with the Device of Time Journeying shattered, they must find another way back to their own era before the Graygem irrevocably alters history and the Third Dragon War ends in defeat for the forces of good.

While the battle rages on, Destina tries desperately to make amends and prevent disaster. Raistlin and Sturm encounter their heroes Huma and Magius, and must reconcile the myths with the men. And Tasslehoff, shocked that the Knights of Solamnia have never heard of dragonlances, sets out to find the famed weapons.

But as the forces of the Dark Queen close in on the High Clerist’s Tower, Destina’s party must return to their own timeline together—or not at all.

What the critics say

“I love Dragonlance and I love Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman: plain and simple. Their books are my favorite fantasy series of all time. I love the stories and ideas but most of all, I love the characters. Why do we all feel like we know them? They are what spurred me to start working for D&D and inevitably what inspired me to pursue a career in showrunning.” (Joe Manganiello)

“A love letter to fans.” (Nerdist)

“It is truly a very nice return to a well-loved world, and it is handled with care and great passion by the two authors who introduced us to Krynn all those years ago. Dragons of Deceit is fun, adventurous and heartwarming in all the right spots. Those new to this land, welcome. Sit back, open up and enjoy the journey.” (Bookreporter)

Another Just Okay Story

The potential here was pretty good. The follow through and execution was just ok.

The protagonists spend more time talking about and rehashing the same details, stories and jokes that they don't tend to do much. When stuff happens, it's almost always off camera. While a raging battle is happening, castle guards are talking about if the friendly Kender should still be locked up or not.

Destina spends more time worrying than doing... anything. Her one moment is throwing something in a panic.

For a time travel book, it doesn't do a great job of telling us who's prominent and when it is. So a chapter can start and you'll have no idea they're back in the future with the new characters they're bringing in.

It's also become frustrating that the narrator continuously changes pronunciation. "Des-tina" "Disty-nuh" "Distineh". This happens with other characters too. So add the poorly written transitions and it gets annoying. I actually REALLY like her various voices and change ups in cadence fort he characters. So the name thing is disappointing. It's evident from the start when a main protagonist has a new name since last book just because of this.

There's generally funny scenes, but even one of the best (spoilers) when the comic relief characters blow up in an enemy camp, we barely get the description of the event. We're told more about it when the comic relief recaps the moment than being part of that scene.

I think I'm getting off this ride for something else.
