Dragon Wing

The Death Gate Cycle, Volume 1

De: Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

Narrado por: Fajer Al-Kaisi

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.

Takes me back to my teens.

Read this series when it came out and am loving revisiting it. The narration is great too.

Can't wait to finish it all!

was looking for a new book series, and I've definitely found it. I can't wait to finish the next book and see where this whole thing is going to go it's such a great Series so far

A look into a world split apart

A wonderful look into a realm with fresh characters and of the most powerful magic of the infinite becoming finite.

Just as good as the original cassette, but more

This was, bar none, my favorite book series growing up, and still is for that matter. I have never finished it, however, due to the fact I don't enjoy reading that much and only the first 3 books were ever recorded on audio cassette, abridged as well. To my great joy and suprise, not only did audible release the entire first book unabridged, but the entire series for me to finally finish. The performance is excellent, though it does leave me nostalgic for the music and sound effects accompanying the cassette versions. That isn't a negative, just a personal bias. I cannot wait to start the second installment and enjoy more of my favorite characters. Cannot reccoment this series enough.

Superb

Five fleshed out and great worlds, fantastic characters. One of my all time favorite series.

Finally on audible

Cant tell you how many times i’ve searched for this one on audio book. Like others have said this was one of my favorite series back in the day. Still remember the cover art on hardback. Narrator did a great job. I was worried when i hadn’t seen his name before but he pulled through for me. Looking forward to the rest of the books. Downloading now!

An old favorite

I first read this series as a teenager. I loved it than and I still love it. I can’t believe it took this long to make this series into audiobooks. It may be an older book series, but I think it still out shines many of the newer books. It most definitely deserves to go in the history books as pathing the way for the future fantasy gene. Just remember this was originally published in 1990’s when the fantasy gene was damn near impossible to find.

Dragon Wing

I enjoyed Dragon Wing, though I think my own hype hurt me here. It’s very different from the Dark Sword or even DragonLance and that’s a good thing.

All is not what it seems.

I read this series a long time ago, after reading the Dragon Lance series. I actually liked this series better and was glad to see it on Audible as I had requested it several years ago. It’s good to get back to it as I hardly remembered it, just the basics. I did remember it does take a while before the overarching plot of the whole series builds with each book and seems to at first not have much to do with each other, but as you continue the mystery starts to unravel. Narrator was good.

Why would you ruin it with accents?!

I have read these books more times than I can count. These books were some of the main stepping stones of my youthful reading journey. To say I love these books are a slight understatement. I was so excited for these to be on Audible but now I won't be buying the rest. There are accents given to different characters and it starts from the very first of the book! It is not even necessary. It doesn't say anything in the books in regards to the races speaking in different accents! It's not even written with different verbiage or slang for the different races. Seriously why is one Geg French and another Irish?! Not impressed with the narrator and the timing for how he reads is just off. Just read the books - THEY ARE AMAZING! Don't waste your credit.
