I have never read this "DragonLance". I read a few of the Drizzt books, and the first few books of the "Wheel of Time" series, but then switched to horror books and started playing video game RPG's.

Allow me to do a comprehensive analasis of those five series.
The Wheel of Time: Ye gods, Robert, who cares about all of those extra characters? We want Rand, Matt and maybe Perrin before you destroyed him by marrying him off!
Dragon-Lance: Alright... major plot hole... notice that they just suddenly get dragon-lances? I also feel like there was a series before it that I missed... but maybe I did miss a series.
Drittz: Formulaic characters. Not all dwarves should be crusty, awe-wielding hard-liners who have a heart of gold under-neath.
LoTR: Hard to argue with is, cause it is basically THE fantasy series. Like, the first one that anyone knows about. And whatever. Tolkien gets a bit long-winded sometimes. Particularily during the Council of Elrond. Ye gods that was a long chapter.
Sword of Truth: I only read the first one, then stopped. Didn't like it much, but it has it's good points: vastly different from other series. The main character is a little too.... godly though.
Terry Pratchett... that is the way to go. That is quality fantasy. Discworld!
MUSIC WITH ROCKS IN!

I used to have a whole bunch of titles, I think. That probably makes me better than you. Maybe.

the red pyros was fighting? dont remember but i remember the dragon was blind and thought the slaves were her children.
and for the plot hole about getting the dragonlances out of nowhere, weis and hickman just introduced the first of a new series that fills in that gap. im reading as we speak.

TSR==Original maker of D&D.
Now, they're not around.
It's a sad day. I was looking forward to the *real* 3rd ed. *shrugs* Oh well.
Anyway...WS...That dragon...Blaze, that is, is quite fiersome, methinks.

Actually, if I remember correctly, TSR was the original publisher of the Dragon Lance series, being as it was a fantasy series that utilized a modified AD&D setting.
