Read this book! I read all the seven books and I recommended you read all the Death Gate Cycle. The first book of the series, "Dragon Wing", it's good (in my opinion it's a little slow, but interesting), the other six especially the last four are amazing and very exciting, the story changes in its entirety in the latest books and you don't expect the end. The story is full of magic and imagination and the way that the authors conceive how does it act it's totally new.

The Death Gate Cycle tells the story of seven realms formed by a powerful wizards, the sartans, with the purpose of take control of the mensch and to avoid the increase power of their ancient enemies, the patryns, another powerful race of wizards. The sartans secluded the patryns in a prison named The Labyrinth and then dissapeared mysteriously. But the patryns could conquer The Labyrinth and now they wish revenge and take control of the realms.

Dragon Wing, the first volume of the Cycle, tells the story of the realm of air, Arianus. Haplo, the patryn, is sent by Xar to this realm with the commission of search the sartans. Haplo at the begining, didn't find his ancestral enemy but he found a strange machine operated by the gegs and it's function still unknown.Besides, in this world humans and elves fight for water, the most precious element, because in this world it is scare. Haplo, after a while, knows the gegs Limbeck and Jarre, Bane a human prince who is taked care by Alfred (a strange fellow) and Hugh, another human that must kill Bane.

So, don't you think that at first sight, this story is predictable by only reading the first book. Read the complete series of books, you won't be disappointed.

I bought this some time ago, read a few pages, and put it down. Then, about a year later, I was pressed for something to read, so I gave it another shot. I am very glad that I did. This book is the first of seven, and those seven quickly became the most favored books of my collection.

The vastness of these sundered worlds is amazing. The great thing about this book, and the series, is the immersion into the world. The humor of the Gegs (dwarves) is unrivaled because of its innocence. The wars between elven and human are colorful, because the war is for water. A nice irony, since there is ice above the elves and humans (beyond their reach), and the Gegs below are constantly wracked by fierce thunderstorms.

The plot is excellent because so many lines are running at once. And then, too, there are mysteries that are resolved, and others that are carried over. (Example: We learn what the Kicksey-Winsey is designed for, but we aren't told exactly how it operates.)

If you liked Dragonlance, you MUST read this book. The reason, you ask? There is this strange befuddled old man in mouse colored robes in the second book. Let's see, what was his name? . . . Oh yes! It's Zifnab!

DRAGON WING marks the beginning to THE DEATH GATE CYCLE, a series where the first four novels are stand-alones and the action takes place on four seperate worlds. In DRAGON WING we are introduced to the great many races of creatures used in the cycle. There are elves, dwarves, sartyn, and patryn; each race is thouroghly introduced and there is a large aray of characters from each race that grace the story. I liked this book because it managed to go in depth into the minds of the characters, and to create a fast paced, action filled story line all at the same time. There is so much going on in this novel, with it's large and heavily detailed world, that I cannot even begin to synopsize it. All I will say is that anyone who is a fan of fantasy should pick up this book and give it a try. I'm sure you'll be satisfied.
