I found this series very refreshing after plowing through a lot of Dragonlance and was surprised by the difference in the two. Not to say I don't cherish and love Dragonlance as well, but this series struck me as unique and different from the typical fantasy-medieval cliche. There are very strong, likeable, characters in the Sovereign Stone who I grew attached to while reading and I wonder if I will see more of them? I understand Dragonlance is a much older series, whereas this is more recent, but I truly hope you revisit the world of Loerem. All in all, very well written series and one can clearly see that it was written by brilliant authors. It saddens me when I read a good series these days and it is ended poorly, but this is not the case with the Sovereign Stone and it was well thought out - cheers!

How could they not be interested? I figured novels penned by THE pair would be like printing money :) Has there been any more information on this? How could they not be interested?

Did you come up with the name? Was it intentional to have 'Isis' in Her name or just coincidence? thanks,...........Hail Takhisis!! Can you tell us more about how Takhisis was created?

I must say that I greatly appreciate your depiction of elves. Instead of being breathtaking creatures for their beauty, they have become breathtaking in the most opposite ways. I really enjoyed soaking the story in. I am glad I stumbled upon these little gems. I eagerly await the 3rd book's release into the wild arms of the world of literature. Also, if you ever give in to the movie makers, I would like to submit a request that you look to your fan-base for actors, as we will not make a mockery of your work like other famous books have been subjected to.

I needed to find something quite to do to pass the time and not disturb the kids so I decided I would pick up reading. I had read a few books here or there but never really gotten into them much. So I went to my grandmother who had acquired a large box of books from a yard sale and shoved them under her bed. I rummaged through mass amounts of Harlequin novels and found one book that wasn't . The book was in pretty rough condition but it was called Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I figured it had to be better than the rest of the stuff in there so I took it with me. The next day at work I started reading and from the first page I was consumed. I had never had anything spark my interest or give me such great delight as the words I was reading . I read with every bit of spare time I had , each week getting a new book. It was like I couldn't feed the fire fast enough. That was 8 years ago and I still love that book dearly and credit it a lot for making me who I am this day. I never realized the impact literature could make on a person until I found myself daydreaming about Krynn and the characters in it. I even managed to get my sister hooked with me. I just wanted to say thank you for the brilliant books in the Dragonlance series , it has really made a huge difference in my life and I am looking forward to my son and daughter getting old enough to read so we can share them together.

As a child i was always a big reader and my mother always bought me new books to read from our schools book club. My grandmother is probably the person I inherited my love of reading from as she probably reads about 3 -4 books a week I had never really read fantasy novels per se but was interested in the genre from what I read in comic books, so one day, when I was 14 my grannie brought me to our local book store and told me to pick out a book I liked so the book I decided on was dragons of winter night. And I picked it solely on the artwork. After I started reading it I realized I had no idea what was going on so i realized I had to buy the first one and from there I've never looked back. I'm 31 now and I own every single novel from the dragonlance series and I've enjoyed most of the novels in the series (especially the historical novels as I'm a history buff as well) I'm disappointed that they have ceased producing novels as I felt they were heading in the right direction again. Hopefully they realize that dragonlance cannot exist without Weis and Hickman and they beg for you to write another trilogy for the series. ( mind you knaak, niles and others have done wonderfully expanding what we know about the world of dragonlance) Sincerely, Travis etienne Hello sir,
