The Death Gate Cycle
Author: Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
Genre: Fantasy
Series: The Death Gate Cycle (7 books)
Rating: 4½
This is original, high-quality, mind-blowing fantasy - the kind of fantasy you badly want to read but so seldom find. The same authors also gave out The Dragonlance Chronicles - a series that is widely known and a lot more famous than Death Gate, for some inexplicable reason. Don't get me wrong, Dragonlance is fine, but compared to Death Gate... nothing.
I can't give these books unbaised reviews. I am baised. I love these books.
To be perfectly honest though, the three last books are very disappointing. The first four books are awesome in every way and the story could easily have ended with Serpent Mage - leaving the Cycle at one book for each element and a horrible, foreboding open-to-interpretion ending. Take a second to think about it, when you finish Serpent Mage. It would be an excellent ending.
Note: I removed only half a star from the rating because of the three last books, because their existance is certainly no excuse not to read Death Gate!
