Our view
“Dragon Wing” opens “The Death Gate Cycle” with several storylines that advance side by side and leave their questions open. Behind them runs the suspicion between humans, elves and dwarves. Some readers count the series among their favourites and return to it; others grant that it has its flaws and remain fond of it. A good choice for anyone ready to commit to a long saga.
