um, no. I read one many years ago, but I didn't really find that I wanted to go back to any more. Do they get better after the first one? Cos I really love a good fantasy.

The first trilogy I read was the Moonshae Trilogy from the Forgotten Realms series, which was from the same company as Dragonlance (then TSR, now Wizards of the Coast). After I finished reading that I bought the Dragonlance Legends Trilogy on Dragonlance but sadly I haven't even begun reading it. I really liked the Moonshae Trilogy, but it was such a tragic opener for the series with the demise of the Earth Goddess and the extinction of the druids (I believe it was the first trilogy in the Forgotten Realms and therefore the first chain of events in the realms' timeline).

The first three novels of the Dragonlance series were "ok" but then they quickly devolved into a nice big pile of poo.
I think I read about 7 of them.

I have very fond memories of reading the Dragonlance books as a 10 year old. In fact, aside from the Hobbit, I think they were the first fantasy books I ever read. They're absolutely atrocious books of course, but that didn't stop them being good fun

Not the greatest books I have read but you have to remember these were the first books written by 2 D&D players. You can see (well read) their progression as each of their book series get better and better. The legends series and then the Lost Chronicles come to mind. Sturm =  ~d |

It's funny...I still have the Dragonlance Legends Trilogy (Dragonlance) and The Moonshae Trilogy (Forgotten Realms) kept in my shelf, but when I come back to them, I find the characters and their classes kind of obsolete. The new RPG's of today (Everquest and World of Warcraft) and the lore associated with them have sort of eclipsed and dethroned the classic D&D character classes and their mechanics. Although there isn't a doubt that the bases for everything today can be traced to the foundations laid down by D&D... just with twist and innovation.
