A more focused reading order of the Prequel & Sequel eras of Dragonlance will surely follow, as this was a very general video.

My first book was Dragons of Summer Flame. Was traveling to central america and wanted to pick up a couple books to read during the trip and one of them was that book. Felt odd reading that all the gods were leaving and wondering "wait, were they around a lot before?" which led to picking up more books that turned into an addiction almost. Favorite trilogy is definitely Legends, can listen/read it over and over and never get tired of it! Enjoyed the War of Souls and the huge set up it did for the fifth age but absolutely adored The Dark Disciple trilogy because it gave me something I've been dying for since starting the series, more insights and moments with the gods, their personalities, interactions, scheming etc along with them needing to gain the trust and worship of their followers who also play a larger role going around and spreading influence.

As for read order, I'd say basically anything Weis & Hickman wrote, read those first and then branch off from there depending on what era, race or group you have the most interest in and then think of those off shoot books as tales told around a fire by an elder over being pure canon. Seems like they added a lot to kinda fill in gaps or missing bits of information since the series took off as big as it did.

And smash that like and subscribe button as if you're Theros forging a fresh set of Dragonlances!

Legend of Huma is actually a great starting point. Because in the chronicles series (which most recommend as a starting point). They are constantly referring back to Huma and the cataclysm. So if you start with the heroes series, you will already understand what they are referring to.

Thumbs up for having great taste and praising Legend of Huma. It gets a lot of hate

Found the original paperback version of Time of the Twins trilogy and I didn’t know that Autumn Twilight was the first books

I have been studying and studying this for months and every account only confuses me more and more and more because it's always a different list with the exception of maybe the first so-called holy six. When I read all the Forgotten Realms novels I just read them as I wanted to or as I found them and I think I'm just going to do that with this too and if I get confused I get confused and if not and I can put it together in my head and say oh damn that's how that happened, okay, then that's what I'm going to do. Because let's face it I went back and forth on the timeline with Forgotten Realms as well. It's probably not as big of a deal as everybody makes it out to be
