"The Dragons of Autumn Twilight" by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, two fantastic fantasy writers is quite an awesome book so far from what I have read. It follows the adventures of a group consisting of a half elf, a dwarf, a kender or halfing and four humans that find themselves in a bit of a predicament when their home town is over run by theocrats and goblins and must escape almost as soon as they arrive. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy novels and is big on the Dragonlance or Dungeons and Dragons franchise, it really gets you into the story and you truly feel like you are a part of the groups journey.
Out of the main characters I would say my favorite is probably Tasselhoff, the kender because he is immune to fear and doesn't understand basic emotions sometimes and in the face of danger he seems to be amused and enjoying himself. He also enjoys pranking people and loves to steal peoples coin purses and other assortments of items. I think my least favorite character so far would probably have to be Flint, the dwarf, also the eldest of the group he is always grumpy and hates everything. He is a master blacksmith and uses a battleaxe to kill his enemies but other then that he is a bit lame and hates all of Tasselhoff's pranks because generally they are against him.
I think if i had to invite one of the characters home to meet my family i would probably invite Caramon, the warrior, because he is very kind and although not the smartest person in the group he makes up for it in strength and the ability to protect the group and his brother Raistlin, who is less desirable of a person.
