I have read a few DL novels in the past. Of course, I started with the originals in 1985. I've picked up a few others over the years, and I really DO NOT like the dragon overlords thing!!!!

What novels occur before and after the dragon overlords? Of these, which are recommended?

I like having dragons and gods in the stories. I am really looking forward to the end of the dragon overlords and seeing stories about the Knights of Solaminia (w/out the Neraka knights).

Thanks!!!!

Dragons of Summer flame and the chaos war series occur before, and the war of souls after. Also, the age of mortals and Bridges of time series are good for understanding much of the plot in that era.

And don't worry about the Dragon overlords, much of that is dealt with in the war of souls ;)

I still await an era in Dragonlance where the Knights of Solamnia are dead and forgotten.

Then again I'm also the only person who danced, sang, and laughed for 20 minutes when Sturm died. That was the best part of Chronicles.

I still have the words to "Ding Dong the Douche is Dead" somewhere around here...

----------

A little less tangental: I suggest reading the Heroes series, the Tales series, and the Preludes series.

While I never really liked Sturm, I was sad to see him die.
