These books have a plethora of characters that are sometimes difficult to keep track of, but I think I recall the most important players. Tanis, the half-elf, has always been kind of the de facto leader of the companions even though he doesn’t really know how he ended up in that position. He’s a strong, brave commander who’s good at taking care of everyone and making decisions, but his heart is still split between elf-maiden Laurana who he grew up alongside among the elves and human Kitiara, Raistlin and Caramon’s sister, who we don’t meet until toward the end of this book. I don’t want to say too much about Kitiara other than I was disappointed in the choices she’d made, as well as Tanis’s seemingly easy acceptance of her back into his life, knowing these things. On the other hand, Laurana, who I hadn’t really thought much of in the first book, really grows and comes into her own in this part of the story, showing herself to be, not only a great leader, but also a brave warrior. By the end, I very much admired her. Sturm is still the brooding Knight of Solamnia, who we discover never was an official Knight, and his pursuit of that dream in this book isn’t without its challenges. IMHO, he had perhaps the most memorable performance of any character this time around, aside from Laurana, and the two of them made a great team. The mage, Raistlin, is powerful in magic, but physically weak, so his twin, Caramon, still looks after him. The pair are basically inseparable, but we still don’t learn much more about why that is or what happened to Raistlin in the past. I respect his power, but he can still be a bit of a jerk sometimes. Flint and Tasslehoff continue to provide comic relief to the story, while also proving that sometimes even little people (much like the Hobbits from The Lord of the Rings) can do big things. I thought perhaps Gilthanis would be a more important player this time, as he meets and falls in love with Silvara, an elf-maid from a different elven tribe. Silvara does do something very important to the story, but then they go off on their own and aren’t seen again for the remainder of the book. Derek is rather full of himself and causes no end of trouble for Sturm. The other characters were mostly in the background, seen occasionally, but not really adding anything particularly significant to the plot.
Overall, Dragons of Winter Night was a good follow-up to the first book, but I felt it moved at a slower pace. There’s a lot happening, but not a great deal of action until the end. It’s mostly about the companions traveling to Tarsis, where there is a little excitement when the dragons attack and separate them. But then the two groups travel around to different places, accomplishing various things, while searching for the Dragon Orbs and Dragonlance in hopes that these ancient objects will help them find a way to eventually defeat the dragons. After helping Alhana, Tanis’s group basically become itinerate performers, singing for their supper so to speak, trying to earn enough money to book passage on a ship to sail someplace where they hope to reunite with the rest of their friends. Meanwhile, Laurana’s group seemed to add the most plotwise, making several discoveries and using their newfound knowledge and fighting skills to tip the balance of power slightly in their favor. In the final battle, we bid a sad farewell to one of the main characters. I generally enjoyed the story, but felt a tad frustrated by the continued addition of new characters to the already overcrowded palette while still leaving some of the main characters underdeveloped. I did appreciate some new growth for Laurana, Sturm, and perhaps to a slightly lesser extent, Tasslehoff, but the others pretty much remained stagnate with not much new being added to their characters since the first book. Because of that, this was a good story, but not one that quite made it over the hump into keeper territory for me, even though it and the series as a whole remain all-time favorites for my hubby. (
