Sequestered in the blackness of the dreaded Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas, surrounded by nameless creatures of evil, Raistlin Majere weaves a plan to conquer the darkness - to bring it under his control. Crysania, a beautiful and devoted cleric of Paladine, tries to use her faith to lead Raistlin from the darkness. She is blind to his shadowed designs, and he draws her slowly into his neatly woven trap. Made aware of Raistlin’s plan, a distraught Caramon travels back in time to the doomed city of Istar in the days before the Cataclysm.

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.

Before her agents can strike, though, Raistlin finds out that Takhisis means to take control of all wizardly magic.

Summer has come to Krynn, a summer unlike any before. The sun bears down on land and sea, searing the world with relentless light and heat. Clouds and rain are nowhere to be found, and even the darkness of night brings little relief from the strange and oppressive day. Meanwhile, those who commune regularly with their gods are uneasy. Every day, their deities become more distant, more difficult to reach. Clerics' prayers go unanswered, and magic goes awry.

War can get a fellow killed. The fearless draconians of the War of the Lance have retired from the field of battle to a pleasant valley in the Kharolis Mountains. Well, it would be pleasant, if it weren't for some dwarves, whose irritating feuding prevents the draconians from realizing their greatest hope - the ability to continue their doomed race. When the dwarves discover a map leading to a fortune buried in the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, the draconians are swept up in a feverish race for treasure.

Fantastic story
Any additional comments?
This was a fantastic story and was the first Dragonlance novel I have ever read/listened to. I was drawn to Raistlin's character, and now I am very interested in reading further Dragonlance novels that feature Raistlin to see where his story goes from here.
There are many fantastic characters in this book. The twins, Raistlin and Caramon, are very interesting dichotomies of each other, and I found myself liking both characters. I also loved the Kender race, and the Kender nature makes me smile; the rambling, cheery tales and behavior by a Kender in this story have made me laugh out loud,serving as comedic relief.
The performance was excellent, and I listened with ferocity, breezing through the entire novel in just a few days.

My Favorite Character
I have loved the Dragon Lance books since I was a teenager. I have loved Raistlin since then as well. I was beyond happy when these books first came out as it was a story of him and his life in more detail then you get in the other books. That is the basic premises of these books and if you know Raistlin but do not know theses stories you will find you did not really know Raistlin.
I am very VERY happy to say the narration did not ruin this book, as I am often afraid of when listening to old favorites. They changed the character voices such that you could distinguish them and better then that the voices fit the personalities of the characters very very well. I will actually look for more books by this narrator and hope he continues to perform as well as he did in this book.

Well done prelude
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is one of my favorite Dragonlance books. It did a great job of covering the early life of one of the most interesting characters of the series. It also felt like a real novel whereas the original trilogies you could sometimes tell were there in part to create interest in the D&D game. Overall it was pretty well paced with all it had to cover and stayed pretty close to what was expected from all the previous novels and short stories about Raistlin. My only complaint would be that it was implied that the twins along with Sturm spent many more years traveling with Flint and Tanis. In this book they pretty much spent 1 year together and only went on 1 trip with all of them. But it was still a very enjoyable book.

Starts slow, but then doesn't stop until the end!!
If you could sum up The Soulforge in three words, what would they be?
Great Wizard Story
What did you like best about this story?
Enjoyed hearing how it all began with the main character!!!
What about Chris Sorensen’s performance did you like?
Chris does a great job of reading this book, enjoyed every minute of it!!!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Because it's 17+ hours listening to his in one setting isn't possible, but if it was, I would!!!
Any additional comments?
Great read, purchasing book two right now!!!

Great series.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This series has no weakness. Performance & story are good. 1st book has a nice bit of good humor too.
What other book might you compare The Soulforge to and why?
Lord Of The Rings. Botth have central magic themes & both don't over do the magic part. The story is what comes 1st.
Have you listened to any of Chris Sorensen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
no
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
When the theif character meets lots of his own kind, is real cute.

So begins Raistlin the 1st really cool anti-hero!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Soulforge to be better than the print version?
Depends on your personal tastes
What did you like best about this story?
Raistlin
Have you listened to any of Chris Sorensen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Better than most
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
To long for one sitting
Any additional comments?
A must for any fan of Dragonlance. This chronicles Raistlin's first steps into magic and his first steps to becoming the Black Wizard everyone fears.

The begginings of Raistlin, excelent performance
The book is ok, not a great page turner. You mostly know were things are heading but does a good job getting us to understand Raistlin.
The performance is very good. Ever when he speaks for a woman it’s not anoying like in other artists.

Bit slow
Quite a good listen if you can get past how twee it is. I loved the Dragonlance books as a teenager so thought I'd give this a go. I'm glad I did and will listen to the next in the series but it's not without its faults... Caramon speaks like a 6 year old even when he becomes an adult and he's portrayed as if he's retarded all through the book. I remember really liking the character so I'm surprised at how he's been written here. He can't even make a cup of tea without spilling water all over the floor!
The story is okay although not a lot happens for long sections. All in though, I liked it!
