Mab is a fey. She acts true to the nature of her species and operates within a different moral framework typical of her species. I don’t see things as good or evil but in the context of the question, the answer must be that Marcone is more evil.

Surprised there's no discussion of their Sovereign Stones series. The word felt pretty interesting even if the countries that populated it were a bit boilerplate in design. The twist going from book one to two was also unexpected to read.

Mab is not evil. She truly to protect the universe Marcome.will protsct.his people.but only to.get more powerful

If you're looking for Torak's tomb, it's at Cthol Mishrak on the Mallorean continent. He was hidden in a volcano for 500 yrs and moved back to Cthol Mishrak during Garion's quest.

I see some dragonlance books on your shelf. You have excellent taste! 😊. Great content, brings me back to when I read these as a kid in the 80s. Thanks for this!

Will you make more reviews from Rowan Blood series? Looking forward to it!

I'm an e-book person. They're always pristine.

Its fascinating to go back to the keystones of modern fantasy (this book helped make the whole Dragon Rider thing) and see how unique they still are despite being trend setters. It's like how LotR still stands out despite being copied to death

That last one happens a lot with Shannara for me. I've enjoyed the first trilogy and its prequel. I started the next saga of 4 books. However, a few chapters in I realized I wasn't in the mood, and I was going to have a skewed opinion if I kept going. Dropped the book, waited a year, and then went back and truly enjoyed them. I failed to do that with another series. I bought the set before I knew if I would like it. That was the Inheritance Cycle. I forced myself through the series all back to back. To this day, I can't decide if I liked that series or not because I kept making myself read when I wasn't in the mood.

I recently dropped a book because it was just dragging on and going nowhere. It was like the author was just saying the same thing over and over ad nauseam.

I used to have a hard time dropping a book, but over time I came to realize what you said in this video: There are a lot of books out there, so why force myself to read one I don't like, For me DNFing has become really simple. I usually am reading 2-4 books at any one time and the ones that get dropped are the ones that sit there for a little while untouched. Recently, I was on my kindle menu and noticed a book I hadn't touched in so long I forgot I was even reading it. So....dropped it right there.

I think by Chapter 5, if you don't like the writing style and story, it's not going to get better. Chapter 5 is a decent role of thumb in my opinion. Thanks!

#6 reason to drop a book........ it's really, really heavy. 😊

I feel he was an "honorable evil" character. He held to a loose moral code when it came to his companions. He's my favorite Dragonlance character of all time.

I don’t think Mab is evil, I think she’s cruel. She moves according to her nature, because she is a force. She balances the fae courts and most importantly, doesn’t have free will. Marcone on the other hand, is a human with free will. His actions knowingly harm many people for his own profit and power. For me it’s pretty cut and dry.

Hi, new subscriber here. Great video 🥳 I was looking for a good list of urban fantasy, so perfect timing. The clean sweep series is high on my TBR!

I love the logic and truth in this video about reading goals. So, why am I 🤣? Because I don't make reading goals. None. So being here is redundant but I was curious. I like what I read. I want to discover one that makes me happy and ones that I soooo love and hype and made a deal with a friend [to read her favorite so she will read mine]. Yes booktube make preasure in a sense "to be real reader you need to read..." kind of feeling and for booktuber I believe it makes even more preasure because of having-a-book-channel. The presure I have is finding always 2-3 new book or some new high fantasy titels that I wonder when will I reach them. So for now I have a box of TBR book-cover-printed-pictures as a reminder for when I don't know what I want to read next [like I still haven't read Sanderson...]

Congrats! And many more! Cheers!

I was guessing you would choose Laurana. I think she is under appreciated and deserves more recognition for her story arc and growth as a person. When the original DL trilogy was written back in the 80s it really wasn’t all that common to have female characters be so complex and experience that much growth. Superficially she can be mistaken for the stereotypical “beautiful elf princess” that mostly exists as a personification of the male hero’s ultimate prize. However she is not a superficial character at all but arguably the character that experiences the most personal growth in all of DL. She starts out spoiled, naive and with very little agency (and the agency she does have she uses to chase a man) but she grows, learns, starts to see the world beyond herself, she gradually starts taking more and more responsibility, overcoming her fears and learning to be brave, to fight for others while also maturing in her understanding of what love is. She doesn’t discard her love for Tanis but rather she becomes more mature, more reflected and nuanced. She ends up breaking down gender barriers - not because it is her right as a princess, not because she is so beautiful that the knights can’t help but to accept her into their organization, but rather because she proves herself, her courage and her competence. She defies her father, she defies tradition when it is backwards and u productive, she takes action and she fights for what she believes in; ultimately becoming the Golden General and being one of the main reasons that good prevails in the war of the lance. I think that is pretty darn progressive for any story written in the 1980s and even more so for a fantasy story.

I prefer marcone mainly when you read further on he’s a genuine good guy but he chooses to do bad things to protect human world

Way to go Amy!

Great video, Amy! Lots of interesting questions. Your personality really came out in this video.

Well done. Those Larry Elmore dragon lance covers are amazing.

🤠👍

Congratulations!

I did think of a personal question if you don't mind. I started reading the original Dragonlance Chronicles with my 11 year old son for his first time. He does not like reading so we are doing so together and alternating reading pages to each other. It's going well so far - he seems to be enjoying it, which is exciting as it's MY all time favorite book. However, I'm nervous how to approach the few riske sections of the book such as Gilthanas and Silvara (if you remember). As you read the book at a young age, if I recall, i was curious if you felt the age level was appropriate or, if not, how to handle those sections. Thanks!

Congratulations! 1,000 IS a huge number! I know tons and tons of channels that never make it to that mark. Continued success and I enjoy this channel's content, cheers!

Definitely evil after killing that gnome! Tas's friend. Forgot his name.

Heeeey - I’ve been watching Adam’s channel for a while so this is a super cool collab for me. After this video I’ll have to go and check out the one you did together for his channel. Super cool!

Questions: - How and Why did you decide to start this channel? - I learned about this channel from your “so you like Dragonlance” video and I’ve read all the books you recommend in there. Can you recommend any more books to an old DL fan? - what do you like about fantasy as opposed to other genres? Hope it is okay that I post multiple questions. Thank you for the video and your work in general!

Thats great.

Morcone is. Mab is NATURE it self, she does what she does much like a natural disaster. Marcone willingly CHOOSES to out of hus way to hurt people for his benefit. Best way i can describe it.

He only took the black robes so HE (and the rest of the companions) would survive at that moment in time. He had to make a deal, otherwise I think he was content with the red robes. I don’t think he is evil in the same sense that the big bads are. Also it’s made clear that he has a sort of regret/negative feeling about the circumstances with Crysania (DoSF)

Raistlin has been my favorite character since I first read the Chronicles over 30 years ago. I feel he is most definitely evil. His ultimate goal is more power for himself. Just because he did good acts along the way doesn’t make him good. For him, the ends justify the means. So doing a few good things isn’t a measure of his goodness, it’s just a variable in his climb to power.

Based on my recollection of the alignment definitions at the time of the books' releases (mid-80's IIRC), I believe Raistlin to be Chaotic-Nuetral. I don't believe any if his actions throughout the series are ever really evil, per se... But, more selfish. So, I wouldn't think any of the "evil" alignments actually fit. His "good" actions are primarily self-serving, so the "good" alignments don't fit either. He's definitely not "lawful", which leaves "neutral" and "chaotic". I didn't see him being true neutral (nuetral-nuetral), either... He doesn't flip flop on his actions for the sake of neutrality.... Definitely "Chaotic-Nuetral"

Thanks for sharing Amy. You look nice..have a good summer.

Many redeemable qualities

Good trying to be bad and ultimately failing at that

Both and neither

Never forget what he did for Bupu. At worst lawful evil at best chaotic neutral

Read this recently and it was a pretty fun read. Very much right on the border between science fiction and fantasy, showing where those two blend into each other without hard lines.

I am a big fan of the dark sword series, and own all of the books. I just recently pulled them out to read them again, and looked them up on here and found your channel. I love your in depth reviews of these books. Simkin is my favorite character aside from Joram, and may I also add that the antagonist’s name is pronounced “blay-lock” lol 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

In my eyes, Raistlin's robe color has always been RED.

I read these books back in 2002🤯

I would say Darksword is by far, the darkest of the three. Counting DW Adventures and Legends there are now five in that series.

Great video!

For the Q&A What is your favorite book cover? What Hogwarts houses are you in? Have you watched the Dragon Lance Movie yet? What’s your favorite sandwich? ~Christian “Has Strong Feelings About Banh Mi Sandwiches”

He was chaotic neutral. Over time takhihis and fistandantilus corrupted him. He was a descendent of majere. I feel sad for him.

Question for Q and A: Congratulations on your 1000 subs......for me I love Fantasy books but I also get a lot of fantasy and other worldly stuff from different hobbies. Listening to power metal music and playing video games to name a few. Is there any other way you get that fantasy fix other than reading books.
