Publisher’s Summary
Lifelong friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales of strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chance encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman, who bears a magical crystal staff, draws the companions deeper into the shadows, forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world.
No one expected them to be heroes.
Least of all, them.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
3/5 stars — “Narration almost ruins the experience for me”
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Dragonlance: Chronicles were my gateway to becoming a diehard fan of fantasy novels. I first read them as a kid and if it were not for the amazing story and character development in this series, I might not be the fan of fantasy/sci-fi that I am today.An absolutely amazing adventure ride that every fantasy fan should experience.
Now if only the narration in the audiobook wasn’t so atrocious at times. 🙁
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragons of Autumn Twilight?
Oh no you didn’t!No spoilers here!
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto……Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto. Not really! Unfortunately, Mr. Roboto ruins this audiobook for me. 🙁While the dialogue isn’t so bad, the narration sounds like a robotic, automated mess at times. If only they could have instead gotten Marc Thompson from the Star Wars audiobooks to do these. He is a rock star among narrators! If you haven’t heard him yet, you’re missing out!
Was Dragons of Autumn Twilight worth the listening time?
Yes, because it is Dragonlance, it is worth the listening time, but it’s tolerable rather than being a pleasure to listen to.Any additional comments?
As I said, I would have loved it if this audiobook was narrated by Marc Thompson (or anyone else for that matter). Paul Boehmer is just too robotic at times, and it unfortunately detracts from an otherwise epic adventure.The book itself is a masterpiece IMHO, but the narration leaves a lot to be desired.

5/5 stars — “Excellent Reading”
I read this book way back in late elementary school. Now that I have a 3 hour commute every weekday it’s hard to find time to read. The performer has a nice voice that makes it easy to relax during LA rush hour traffic. Wonderful story. My only complaint is that his female character voices are not very distinct at all so it can be a little hard to follow. Reader nails it with most of the male voices though.— Amazon Customer, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Great book, should be a movie.”
I know this book was made into a movie, but it was an animated movie. This book is the beginning of the Dragonlance world and novels. I have played D&D, and played these modules that were from this book. This book has everything a great story needs. A half elf leader, a gruff dwarf, a skinny mage in bad health but very powerful, his brother a huge warrior that only thinks of looking after his brother, a barbarian and his lifelong friend and love interest a female human who becomes a full fledged Priestess of Mishakal and becomes one of the most powerful people in the party. Throw in Dragons, draconians of different kinds, definitive villains and you have a great story. Oh yea, I forgot about a Solamnic knight. Great writing and great story telling in this book, also some humor with Tasslehoff Burfoot the kinder up to all of his antics. All in all a great book and a must for anyone into the fantasy genre.— hitman777, Audible listener
