About Kindred Spirits
The origin story of a legendary friendship: When his new companion is accused of murder, Flint Fireforge must find a way to clear the half-elf’s name
When Flint Fireforge, dwarf and metalsmith, receives a wondrous summons from the Speaker of the Sun, he journeys to the fabled elven city of Qualinost. There, he meets Tanis, a thoughtful youth born of a tragic union between elf and man. Tanis and Flint, each a misfit in his own way, find themselves unlikely friends.
But a pompous elf lord is mysteriously slain, and another elf soon meets the same fate. Tanis stands accused, and if his innocence cannot be proven, the half-elf will be banished forever. Solving the mystery will be a perilous task. Time is on the murderer’s side—and he is not finished yet.

I like that book I have picked it up on audible makes work go by quicker listening to a book and it also helps when you have a reading problem
Thank you for watching today's Dragonlance Mail Time episode. What do you think of Kindred Spirits? Have you read the novel before? Leave a comment below!
I definitely care! Haha I've been having a lot of fun re-reading the saga recently. I went in a different order than you initially, but I'm now aligned with your list which has been fun to understand and comment during the live reviews and I encourage other fans to do the same. I actually do remember loving this book as I was/am a huge Tanis fan and loved the relationship he had with Flint. Hoping it holds up!
I'm pretty sure there are some people who don't like The Meeting Sextet series but i love it especially since it reveals more about my favorite fantasy Companions.
Edit: Man I love Kindred Spirits great book and it kept me guessing. I especially liked how Flint hamed up the grumpy grouchy dwarf fot the elf kids. Currently reading Wanderlust book 2 of Meeting Sextet.
I read the entire Dragonlance catalogue in the late 80s early 90s (I'm almost 50).
It was such a treet to save my allowance and paperboy money to weekly head down to the friendly Mom & Pop bookstore to grab a new TSR product, whether it be a Dragonlance or Forgotten realms novel, module, Ral Partha mini, or just this months Dragon or Dungeon magazine. Man, those were the days. I stopped reading Dragonlance after Dragons of Summer Flame (just seems like the right jumping off point for me at the time).
I'm currently re-reading my collection and Im on Dragons of Spring Dawning (timely).
Keep up the great videos, and thanks for provides us all the oportunity to do a little bit of timetravelling.
This one is tempting because I love Qualinost and the idea of focusing on Tanis and his adoptive family vs. the first of his new family, Flint Fireforge. If these authors can capture at least something resembling the dynamic Margaret wrote, I could happily "canonize" this. The stakes of a murder mystery and Tanis accused sound appropriately low and personal for the early companions stories (unlike Meeting six which I think pits them against Sargonnas on Mithras) – I think Soulforge had the right idea. My older brother has Meetings and Preludes (amongst many others) in storage, and seems to think those twelve are safely ignored, but I wonder if there's a gem or two that fits with the main novels.
I still have this book. I still have all my DL series books that I started collecting in the 90s. Out of my entire library collection that I've accumulated over the years, these have followed me from house to house. Every other book I've had I've donated or sold back, except for these. I have all the Chronicles on audiobook now and the Brothers Majere series, and the War of Souls series, but I will never let go of my DL books.
Dragonlance = nostalgic bliss
Heck yeah, meetings sextet prime nostalgia. Our junior hi library got these as they came out. A reason to come school if i ever heard one.
This is one of the first non-Weis and Hickman novels that I read after having finished Chronicles and Legends. I really enjoyed it, particularly since Tanis is my favorite character.
Hello DL Saga Adam I enjoy seeing and learning about Novels I may have not know of. And I just went and got the 2 New Novels on paperback to Read. Can not wait to find out what Margaret and Tracy came up with. Any Novels you or others recommend that Tracy and Margaret did not write? Thanks
I read this book in 1992. My first year at university. I was playing an AD&D half-elf Ranger at the time, and Tanis Half-Elven was a role model. I ended playing that character for 9 years… 1990-1998. Good times…
