The Soulforge (Dragonlance: The Raistlin Chronicles, Book 1)

From: $0.28

A mage's soul is forged in the crucible of magic. Raistlin Majere is six years old when he is introduced to the archmage who enrolls him in a school for the study of magic. There the gifted and talented but tormented boy comes to see magic as his salvation. Mages in the magical Tower of High Sorcery watch him in secret, for they see shadows darkening over Raistlin even as the same shadows lengthen over all Ansalon.
Finally, Raistlin draws near his goal of becoming a wizard. But first he must take the drea Test in the Tower of High Sorcery. It will change his life forever -- if he survives.

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 03, 2005 Type: User Review Great book, given not as much credit

a lot of people brush this book off saying it didn't truly depict raistlin as they knew him later on. I see it as a perfect example, as in chronicles, during the circus troupe where he was actually happy again. He really isn't as evil as the...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 14, 2004 Type: User Review character assassination

While there were some interesting bits in this book and it was readable, for the most part it completely undermined the character of Raistlin, contradicts previous books, and is generally annoying.

I've read a lot of the dragon lance series over the years since it was released in 85. I took a little break but just picked up this book. I liked it and enjoyed it. Everything felt like I had returned to the world of Krynn as I had left it. I'm...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 18, 2004 Type: User Review At last, we're inside Raistlin's head.....

...fans of the Dragonlance originals will relish this story of the Majere twins' early years and Raistlin's early foray into the world of magic. But then, when a Krynn novel is authored by its creator, it can't help but be good! Bravo, Ms. Weiss!

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 30, 2004 Type: User Review The start of Raislin's life

Young Raislin is recruited into a school for magic, and he chooses to practise war magic. This book, the first ina series, deals with Raislin's education, and so it dosn't have as much action as other books (not that it is boring, it isn't)....

As a huge Raistlin fan i adored this book. It gives you major insight to Raistlin's past, as well as the past of others. I especially enjoyed learning how they had all met for the first time (Flint, Tanis, Sturm, Tasslehoff etc).
Raistlin makes...
