Query: Good unless you're a fan of the original series

If Weis/ Hickman had written this series first, and then the other "Dragonlance" novels as prequels, I might have warmed up to it, but having been spoiled on world of magic, I can't really enjoy a world without it or warm up to these characters who lack the charm and sympathy of the original cast. We could see ourselves, good and evil, in the Heroes of the Lance. These folks just aren't as interesting.
