Test of the Twins (Dragonlance Legends, Vol. 3)
Test of the Twins (Dragonlance Legends, Vol. 3)
Defying the fate that claimed his evil predecessor, Raistlin opens the Portal to the Abyss and passes through. With Crysania at his side, he engages the Queen of Darkness in a battle for the ultimate prize–a seat among the gods.
At the same time, Caramon and Tasslehoff are transported to the future. There they come to understand the consequences of Raistlin’s quest–and Caramon at last realizes the painful sacrifice he must make to prevent his brother’s success. Old friends and strange allies come together to aid him, but Caramon must take the last, greatest step alone.
The step into the Abyss.

3 Stars Not what I thought
This book wasn’t what I had in mind and I was sorely disappointed in it. I thought this book was going to have a twist to it and that Raistlin was going to be persuaded into the good side by Crysania at the end or that he was going to turn back to were he left her. I also think that the author should have gave Raistlin some love and caring at the end. I was touched by how Margaret Weis wrote that Raistlin was blinded by tears, but I was also wondering why he didn’t just go with them at the first place. I think that there should totally be more love and a bit less death.
Besides this point about Raistlin, the book was OK, but I don’t think it was better than the two others. I have to give props to the painter of the cover though; his paintings for Margaret Weis’ books are spectacular and make everything more realistic. The conclusion was strong with emotion, but to me, it wasn’t the best conclusion to fit the other two incredible books.

Luved it!
This book was a great ending for the Legends trilogy! It is beautifully written and touches your heart. I got really scared when Caramon and Tas went into the future and saw Caramon’s corpse. The world couldn’t end! But I luved the ending, where it teaches a valuable lesson: there is good in even the most evil people.
5 Stars Time of the Twins (volume 3 of the Legends trilogy) review
Yep,this is a keeper. A very strong ending to the Weis & Hickman books of Chronicles and Legends (Chronicles leads very smoothly into Legends, and is foreshadowed at the end of the last Chronicles book by Fizban)
The previous (War of the Twins) can be hard to take, because Raistlin does some horrid things, and he KNOWS they are horrid things
This is a lot of fun. Its a very strong showing, and a terrific ending as well (Tas first hears of Merilon here, but thats another world!)
Tas turns up (and acquits himself very well, not to give anything away, proving himself the best of friends for Caramon). Tanis turns up, as do other old friends (”Whats that spell again? Fireball?”)
Absolutely delightful. A very strong conclusion to a very rich trilogy. War of the Twins had the great cliffhanger ending (and thankfully really picked up near the end, otherwise it would induce sleep cos of the SLOW pace!)
Lot of Tas, lot of Raistlin (he doesn’t quite repent, but he redeems himself I think). Always nice to see Tanis again, and Lord Soth.. And Kitiara.. And Dalamar
Absolutely wonderful. HIGHLY recommended
4 Stars Test of the Twins (Dragonlance Legends, Vol 3)
Loved the book, LOVED it, but very very disappointed that the saga doesn’t continue forward from this spot. There are other books that pick up later on (much later) but naturally I’d like to see a smooth segue’ into the next segment of this same tale. Oh, well…the series and this book are still well worth reading.
5 Stars Test of the Twins
This book is the third out of a series covering the twins Caramon and Raistlin. This book was a great book and explains the story of Raistlin becoming the greatest mage to ever live. Great book, very hard to put down.
