Product Description
Product Description
On steamy Pryan, never-ending sunlight and plentiful rain have created a jungle so vast that humans and elves dwell high in the trees and only dwarves live anywhere near the ground. From the treetops the aristocratic elves sell weapons to the other races, whose incessant warfare sends a steady steam of profits and essential resources skyward. Now, generations of dissent and race hatred will not heal -- not even under the threat of annihilation at the hands of legendary Titans. Armed with little more than their wits and prophecy, an elf, a human, and a dwarf must unite to try to save the world from destruction.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
But that doesn't say much, the others are all so amazing. Elven Star introduces an almost entirely new cast of characters from Dragon Wing, (the first volume of the series), including Zifnab, the latest incarnation of Fizban, the lovable, loony wizard from Dragonlance. He is an enigmatic character, maintaining depth while still being a hysterically funny comic relief character. This book shows Weis and Hickman's sheer joy in writing, which they impart to the reader beautifully. This book is not as good as the others, the cast of characters is slightly less stellar than the first volume, though this mars the book only a little. Worth reading, and even if you don't like it as much as the first, get through it, and then you hit the real treat in the third volume, Fire Sea, which deserves more stars than are available to give.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book amazed me. Though the first two chapters are a bit slow, this was just excellent throughout the book. Most of the book revolves around bloodbaths, and you feel the suspense, and toward the end of the book, with the entire sense of peaceful stillness, you feel that as well. I only found one flaw: Zifnab. Though he does many references to Gandalf, I found that humor had no place in a book like this. But it is still well worth your money.

Elven Star brings readers into Pryan, word of fire. Although it may not seem to have mutch in common with the first book, readers will see that it plays an important part later and is tied in with the rest of the story. It is a continuation of Haplo's journey through the four elemental worlds. New charictors are introduced and hummor and romance are added to the rather dark plot. A great book and I can't wait to read the entire series again.

This is the best of the Death Gate Cycle!
I adore this book. Despite it's tragedy (sp?), it's hilarious! Zifnab, a Gandalf wannabe, adds an hysterical element to the story that makes him one of the most lovable... Read more

My favorite book from the series...
What this book had that the others lacked was a wonderful world to immerse yourself in, and a romantic plotline to help you immerse yourself in the characters. Read more

A journey into the world of dwarves, humans and elves.
Evlen Star was a great mix of suspense, action, and love. Even better than the first of the Death Gate Cycle. Read more
