About this listen
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.

By book 2 it gets a little better, but the way he pronounce Mishakal gives me hives (Mishigal). Darcanoians become Drake-oh-nians Instead of Drah-koh-nians.
Great story, poor narration

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I've always adored the Dragonlance series since they were first written. Based on one game of Dungeons and Dragons, who knew what a stunningly realistic set of characters would be created and how deeply loved they would become across the world! "...not the stuff of heroes..." the group battle tragedy, personal loss, injury, dragons and gods whilst discovering their true inner selves - some good, some not so good and some so touching and heart warming I dare you to keep a dry eye!The narrator is very good and my only criticism here is that his portrayal of some of the dialogue and voices is not how I have heard them whilst reading the books, but he's one man and has just one voice so let's be fair here! He did a brilliant job reading and playing an entire cast of extremely diverse characters, human and otherwise.
Who was your favorite character and why?
So many to chose from but like so many others I know, I just love the story of Raistlin and his journey as it progresses through Chronicles and Legends. His relationship with his brother Caramon, the rare glimpse of caring Raistlin has for the sorry creature Bupu and his insatiable lust for power that eventually drives him to seek Godhood!What does Paul Boehmer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Paul Boehmer brought a new vision to the story, pronunciation of names and places which must have been done with the writers and a whole new way of looking at the characters. I loved his portrayal of Tasselhof and Fizban in particular and how he treated all of the characters with respect and attention to detail.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
All of the above. Dragonlance will make me laugh (Tasselhof and Fizban), cry (Flint in particular at one point) and feel so many other emotions as the group matures and so do their relationships and interactions.Any additional comments?
This is a grandly scoped story of good versus evil where gods are real and everything is at stake for an entire world. You will laugh, cry and fall deeply in love with a band of extremely complex characters whose battle will affect the lives of millions in their world. They love, they argue and bicker amongst themselves, they come to blows. Some live happily ever after, some die, none are left unaffected. I defy anyone to not love these books.Now an established classic as far as I'm concerned

Unfortunately, this particular version does not work for me. Paul Boehmer's narration is the reason that I have been unable to complete this audiobook. I find his tone and pacing to be jarring to me personally; it is actually hard to listen to. Additionally his vocal characterizations of some of the characters are too similar which I would imagine make it a little confusing for first-timers to get who is supposed to be talking. There are also (I believe) a handful of places where he accidentally uses the wrong character's voice.
I really want to like this because the book itself is absolutely awesome. If you are able to get past Paul Boehmer's narration it is such a great story with some of my favourite fantasy characters of all time; I, however, can't so I will be returning this and leaving the Dragonlance to my physical copies.
One of the best fantasy series ever, but...
