Dragons of the Hourglass Mage (Dragonlance: The Lost Chronicles #3) 
Raistlin Majere has become a Black Robe wizard and travels to Neraka, the lord city of the Dark Queen, ostensibly to work for her, though in reality he means to further his own quest for power. But Takhisis finds out that the dragon orb has entered her city and sends her draconians to find and destroy the wizard who has it in his possession. Before her agents can strike, though, Raistlin finds out that Takhisis means to take control of all wizardly magic. She has ordered Kitiara to set a trap for the Gods of Magic on the Night of the Eye, when all the high-ranking wizards will be in Neraka to celebrate.
As the forces of light, with help from the good dragons, are turning the tide of battle, Raistlin is forced to flee, for his foes are closing in on him. As the Dragon Highlords vie for the Crown of Power in the Temple of the Dark Queen, Raistlin Majere wages his own desperate battle against Takhisis in the dungeons below and meets again the brother he betrayed. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Raistlin, yes. Also -- Iolanthe. Raistlin is much more likable in this than in the Twins trilogy. I think it's the absence of Caramon. He brings out the worst in Raistlin. When he's around Raistlin feels free to act weak, selfish and cruel, because he knows that Caramon will accept his behavior and forgive him for everything. This proves to Raistlin that Caramon loves him -- no matter what. But being who he is, he has to test that love, to push Caramon and keep pushing until something breaks.
I wanted so desperately to love this book because the Dragonlance novels were my favorite books when I was a teenager, and Raistlin was by far my favorite character. I was excited when I found this book so long after I first fell in love with Krynn, so I worked it into my re-read of the original series.Maybe that was the problem. I read it immediately after Dragons of Spring Dawning so it was perfect chronologically, but the differences were clear. The authors' writing has changed drastically in

This is a book worthy of Five Stars.

I was passing through the library when I saw this book. Since I had grown up with the Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends trilogies, in fact both sets of stories had introduced me to my love of fantasy, I was surprised to see the names of Weis and Hickman.

I read this as an e-book, mostly on my phone in odd moments when I didnt have a book handy. I didnt really expect to finish it, it was just something to keep me occupied. But it did actually work pretty well. Now, the only other Dragonlance book Ive read was the very first one, Dragons of the Autumn Twilight, so I read this thoroughly out of sequence. That never really bothers me, though. I always say with a good series it doesnt matter where you begin or end. Raistlin is probably my favorite
You'd think I'd have some bad associations with Dragonlance, since it was my ex who first introduced me to it.

Dragons of the Hourglass Mage was the perfect conclusion The Lost Chronicles tying itself neatly to the original Dragonlance Chronicles. Raistlin Majere never fails to be a dynamic character, and this tale proves to be no exception. Raistlin has abandoned his friends to watery graves in a maelstrom to find himself at the great library in Palanthas. Here he can recuperate and plan his next steps, which take some surprising turns. Raistlin takes the black robes of Takhisis and determines to becomeRaistlin, yes. Also -- Iolanthe. Raistlin is much more likable in this than in the Twins trilogy.
