Product Description

Synopsis

The sequel to "Dragon Wing". Passing through the Death Gate, Haplo is sent to sow chaos among the inhabitants of Pryan, the Realm of Fire, where never-ending sunlight and plentiful rain have generated a jungle so vast that humans and elves inhabit the trees and only dwarves live near the ground.

4.0 out of 5 stars The least excellent of this stellar series,, 16 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Elven Star: 2 (The Death Gate cycle) (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 29 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Elven Star: 2 (The Death Gate cycle) (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great story in the next world of the Death Gate Universe, 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Elven Star: 2 (The Death Gate cycle) (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
