Elven Star

The first book in the Death Gate Cycle took me a while to get into. The second book was much better at holding my attention. I loved Zifnab's humor, his Gandalf quotes and Dragonlance references. The relationship between Zifnab and his dragon was very entertaining. I loved learning more about Haplo and the labyrinth. I can only hope as the books continue that authors will reveal more. The racism between the mensch was startling. Even with death, danger and destruction the hatred between the races was immense. It certainly makes you think on whether or not people are like that in our own world. If everything were to go to hell would we stand together or fight amongst ourselves? Definitely a good read and makes me want more!
