this series, in its completion, rocked my world when I was 13 years old. Dragonlance teaches you how to be a geek, as well as a better roleplayer, and when the Annotated Chronicles came out I geeked out all over again. But there are multiple instances where the writing itself is seriously cringe-worthy, cliched and immature even for the genre. If I hadn't been immersed in the fantasy genre (and come out the other side, no less) and read it for the first time now, 12 years later, I would be bored of and condescending towards this series. Thus, the three stars- great, but loses its sheen to a reader of more advanced fiction.
