Finished Dragons of a Lost Star (book 2 of the War of Souls trilogy) today, and it's improved over my memory of my last reading of it.
We open on the great green dragon Beryl attacking the Citadel of Light, where Palin and Tasslehoff wind up walking off the silver staircase and somehow ending up in Dalamar's tower, which had been in Palanthis, but now floats around Wayreth. (Don't ask. Krynn's physics are nuts.) Palin and Dalamar want Tasslehoff to go back and get stepped on. Tasslehoff doesn't like this, and escapes through a chimney.
Mina and her army are on the move, and taking over Solamnic strongholds.
Qualinesti falls, but takes Beryl with it.
Goldmoon, following a river of the dead (who are sucking everyone's magic), winds up in Solanthus, the meeting her former pupil Mina at Dalamar's tower, where (spoiler alert for a 2 decade old book) we find out the One God of Mina is actually Takhesis.
Now the fun part here is, having read this when it came out, I noticed all the lovely foreshadowing on this read through, which made me very happy. Doesn't change that the timeline on Krynn is FUBAR.
