I must admit, I'm biased about this book because it brings me back to my childhood and reading my first Dragonlance novel under a pine tree on the seaside.
Time of the Twins for me still holds the same sense of magic and adventure. It's not overly realistic, which is so trendy in modern fantasy, but instead it's full of color and magic and heroic feats.
I like how the very writing style changes to complement the character it is following.
And of course, it has one of the best characters ever!
If you don't know who I'm talking about you have to read this book.
Raistlin is so layered and so deep that you will adore him and at the same time be deeply hurt by him.
Even as a reader I know I'm being manipulated but I fall for it every time.

The book goes into describing some of the big events in Krynn history, that were mentioned so many times in other Dragonlance books. We get to see how our great twins Caramon and Raistlin affected the events that happened so long ago.

Time of the Twins is a nice segway to the War of the Twins which is from the very beginning a great read.
