Death Gate Cycle

The Death Gate Cycle is a seven book Fantasy series, written by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman.

I originally read all seven books when I was about fourteen and my mother and I used to trade books (how many kids can say that about their parents!)

Mom recently sent me all seven of the books we had way back when, and I have begun re-reading them for the first time since I was fourteen.

If you like Fantasy books, this series is great! I just finished re-reading the first book, Dragon Wing. Since it is the first book, it does take some time and effort in defining the characters, and there are so many introduced that it is sometimes difficult to keep up. But once you get it, the story picks up.

There are many different characters coming from all over in the story. Characters cross paths, and disappear and reappear.

The concept of a world divided is crystal clear in this wondrous tale. If you haven't already read this series, you should.

The Death Gate Cycle:

Book One: Dragon Wing
Book Two: Elven Star
Book Three: Fire Sea
Book Four: Serpent Mage
Book Five: The Hand of Chaos
Book Six: Into the Labyrinth
Book Seven: The Seventh Gate
