I know! D8 I think the Dragonlance series became the first where I actually cried and cared for the characters so much! [ When Flint died it was so sudden, and it was so well written you could see it happening as if it was happening before your very eyes! The power that was written when Tanis became so angry because he thought the "Green Gemstone Man", as he was nicknamed, was the one who killed him, I could picture the anger on his face and how he was feeling. And then afterward when Fizban was taking Flint away... Urgh! D8
And then when Sturm died! He was one of my absolute favorite! I couldn't believe they had him die, and I think he was the first out of the group to go! It was so sad, and what really made me lose it was the speech Laurana gave at his funeral. It came from the heart and she spoke the truth, she changed how the knights viewed things and made them see the light. At the end of the book there was a note about his death, the authors of the books put in the letters they recieved from upset fans who read the death of Sturm. It was explained that his death was planned from the beginning, and they had to go through with it otherwise the story would be a little messed up and not as good in the future. ] (Highlight over the black space, a spolior for those who haven't read the Chronicle Series.)
