Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms--sky, stone, fire, and water--then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms--and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . .  In Arianus, Realm of Sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water--traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land. An assassin will be hired to kill a royal prince--by the king himself. A dwarf will challenge the beliefs of his people--and lead them in rebellion. And a sinister wizard will enact his plan to rule Arianus--a plan that may be felt far beyond the Realm of Sky and into the Death Gate itself.… (mais)

Heerlijk boekje waarbij je kennismaakt met het rijk van de Hemel, Arianus, en de inwoners daarvan. Ik had het al eerder gelezen, maar dat was erg lang geleden en ik wist er nauwelijks meer wat van. Wel had ik veel oh ja-momenten. Jammer eigenlijk dat ik zo lang gewacht heb met herlezen, want Haplo, Alfred, Hugh en Limbeck zijn echt geweldige personages. Ik had wat moeite met Onera, Iridal en Sinistrad, die ik erg onpersoonlijk en wat ongeloofwaardig vond, zeker in tegenstelling tot de andere personages. Ze waren wat vlak en ook erg kil. Maar de wereld zit erg leuk in elkaar en de rest van het verhaal had me heerlijk te pakken. Op naar "Elfenster". ( )

You really can't go back again. I still remember when the Dragonlance series first came out, I bought the first book and devoured it in about 2 days (Which is great for me, I've always been a reader, but always a slow-ish reader). Then had to wait 6 months for the next book to come out. I would re-read the previous one and then start on the new one. I continued that process for the next four books.
Jump forward 35+ year later and a friend is cleaning out his house and offers the complete set of The Death Gate series. Well, if I were still 14, I probably would have really enjoyed this. Now that I'm not, this really didn't do it for me. The writing is simple and basic. The characters are just not that interesting (two of the principle characters are named Sinistrad and Bane...hmm, I wonder if they're the good guys?).
There are allusions to a great battle and chaos in the past, causing the current separations of the various realms in the sky. I imagine this will be covered in the next bunch of books. I'll never know... ( )

Siglos atrás, unos brujos de gran poder dividieron el mundo en cuatro reinos (cielo, piedra, fuego y mar), y a continuación desaparecieron. Hoy, únicamente los pocos que han sobrevivido al Laberinto y han atravesado la Puerta de la Muerte conocen la existencia de los cuatro reinos. Ala de Dragón es la historia de Ariano, el reino del cielo, donde humanos, elfos y enanos luchan por el control del bien más preciado: el agua. En esta lucha, un asesino humano, conocido como Hugh “la Mano” accede a asesinar al hijo del rey sin saber que su víctima será un chiquillo de excepcional encanto…

Dragon Wing is book 1 in the completed Death Gate Cycle of 7 books. The first book contains a complete story but there is quite obviously something more complex going on. The best part of this book is the world building - it is original, even after all these years. The characters are also fairly well written and complex. Even the dog has his own personality. The book starts off with an assassin in what is superficially a medieval world and ends up with a variety of elves, dwarves, humans, an "adorable" manipulative little child, wizards of various kinds (and a dog) in a world that isn't all that medieval anymore and on the cusp of change. Book 1 takes place in the World of Air, which is a world of floating continents with a contraption (of unknown purpose) called the Kicksey-winsey worshiped and maintained by the locals. Travel between these floating islands is via dragon back or airship, and the local currency is barrels of water or their equivalent in coin. If you want to know what happens in such a fascinating world, you are just going to have to read the book (and the rest of the Death Gate Cycle). ( )

The beginning of the saga of Haplo and his dog, as they attempt revenge on the race (the Sartan) than imprisoned his people in a deadly labyrinth. After generations a few of them made them our. Haplo was one of those and is a disciple of the First to escape. They'd been at war with the Sartan forever, and were close to winning when the Sartan executed a master stroke, Sundering the world. From the rubble they remade four realms of Earth Air Fire and Water, plus of course the prison. The worlds' were peopled with Dwarves Elves and Humans, (and dragons crept in too), but Haplo's people have no idea what happened in the interim, only now does Haplo's master feel strong enough to attempt to emerge and regain their control. Haplo's task is to explore Air, ferment condition suitable to his Lord's takeover and report back - keeping hidden from the Sartan of course.

There are no Sartan to be seen, but the harsh environment nearly does for Haplo, he crashlands at the very bottom of the world where the gegs (Dwarfs) slave for their Eleven and human masters who live on floating islands above.
