Summary: A chronicle of unbound excitement
Review: Margret and Tracy are two of the best authors today writting fantasy novels. I simply could not put these books down, nor wait for the next in the series. Pure enjoyment!

Summary: WOW!!
Review: Pretty darn good. I personally think that the Cycle series is even better then the DL series , but this last book just isn't the best the can do. The book was too rushed and doesn't have the epic ending that the authors gave DL chronicles. I think the authors should have prolonged the book and draw out the ending a bit more. The way they did it gives the reader a feeling that the book isn't finished yet and should be longer. The 4th, 5th and 6th books were all way better, especially the 6th.

Summary: One of my all time favorites
Review: So. After getting through Tolkien's incredibly complex and epic Lord of the Rings, here I am, right back in the upper middle of the proverbial chain of fantasy novel quality. Not that this series is at all mediocre -- it is actually a very, very top notch piece of work. True, Tolkien's novels were better thought out and written with a deeper and more deliberate use of language, but it's just so nice to instead read something that's a little more comprehensible, a series that makes excellent use of simpler language and contains quite a bit of modern humor.But I gotta stop here. Unlike many, I won't even attempt to compare The Death Gate Cycle with Tolkien's masterpiece; not because one is distinctly better than the other, but because the two are completely different entities from different time periods. I absolutely loved the Death Gate Cycle. I loved it. The series was exciting, original, and completely satisfied my fantasy fix. It had the right balance of everything that makes a story truly epic and unforgettable -- action, suspence, love, tragedy, comic relief, great characters, equally great character development, and finally the ability to get into your mind and leave you dying to dish out some cash and get your hands on the next novel. ^__^ I'll admit, however, that the first and last books in the series were... iffy. The start -- Dragon Wing -- was much too slow for anyone with a short attention span. The ending -- The Seventh Gate -- was too forced. Not BAD, mind you, just hurried and at times confusing. Weis and Hickman could have easily added about 100 more pages to the last book and truly concluded the series. Fortunately, the start and fin are the only major down points in the Death Gate Cycle. The five novels in between are more than worth your time and money (Serpent Mage and Into the Labyrinth are probably my favorites among them). Each character in the series is distinctive, well-developed, memorable, and overall enjoyable. The worlds are very well-conceived (How do Weis and Hickman do it? It boggles the mind...), and the plotline is almost always smooth and flowing. My advice? Whether or not you like fantasy, get the first two novels of the Death Gate Cycle and give them a try. If you find you like them (and you probably will), you'll thank me. If you don't, then hey, you're only down a couple of bucks.

Summary: The Death Gate Cycle
Review: The Death Gate Cycle is a great series. The authors have the ability to conjure up the most fantastical worlds, the Death-Gate being no exception. The Death-Gate is the portal between 4 worlds that were once together as one, each comprising of an element. This is the final tale of a powerful Patryn, who traveled the four worlds and sets out to fix what went wrong. . Zifnab made me laugh all the way through. Hugh brought a few scares down my spine, as well Kletius. Alfred stopped tripping for once, (which shocked me!) Yet Xar I pitied. He meant well but his ambition was his downfall. I was just wondering, is there going to be a second generation for death gate like dragonlance? I really want some more! ...

Summary: Outstanding SF series!
Review: The Death Gate Cycle series is imaginative and creative, with appealing characterizations and non-stop action. If you can still get the first few out-of-print volumes, the series will take you into a wonderful world of magic and mayhem, human angst and bizarre terrors. I read them all together, allowing the universe of Tracy and Hickman's creation to be firmly embedded in my personal lore. Well done!

Summary: Amazing
Review: The final to the greatest series by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, the team behind the fantastic Dragonlance series. This book is spellbounding, you can't stop. The authors have the ability to conjure up the most fantastical worlds, the Death-Gate being no exception. The Death-Gate is the portal between 4 worlds that were once together as one, each comprising of an element. This is the final tale of a powerful Patryn (human-godlike), who travelled the four worlds and sets out to fix what went wrong.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: The previous 6 books in the series were pretty good, but it seems that the authors of the "Death Gate Cycle" got carried away and didn't know how to end the story. So, with "The Seventh Gate", the series went out with a whimper. Disappointing, given the fact that the series is seven books long. Seems similar to what is happening with Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series.

Summary: Big let down
Review: The rest of the serie was so great that, I think I expected a lot from this book. The other book, especially the four first were literally gluying me down, I never wanted to stop reading until I came up with the "printed by...." page at the end. Well, this one didn't have the same mesmeric effect.I found myself just dropping off the story, because it didn't seem to fit, somehow. The caracters seemed changed, and everything felt a bit rushed and done quickly. It still concluded the serie, but very quikly, locking everyone inside and all. All in all, I was very dissapointed in it.
