The second anthology in the 'Tales of the Fifth Age' series, which started with Relics and Omens. This volume is a little thicker, but the text is also smaller, alas. And WOTC didn't really proofread, did they? A few typos here and here, but foremost... the last part of the first tale pasted directly at the end of the last tale. Last tale also bringing back draconian commander Kang (see also The Doom Brigade and Draconian Measures).

Anyway, like before, (most of) these tales are nice to read in-between other books, telling of what happened after the Chaos War and as a preparation for the next events on the Dragonlance timeline. Like before, I indicated with (*) which tales stood out for me. Overall, a nice collection, but don't read this if you're not familiar with Dragonlance, even if some tales could have been part of any fantasy universe, somehow.

Linda P. Baker's story was the longest, I think. Or was that Roger E. Moore's? Two long stories, then. The stories by Miranda Horner and Jean Rabe were the least good. Jean Rabe hasn't managed to convince me much, but maybe her full novels are better? (see Dragons of a New Age trilogy, for example, still on my TBR-pile).
