Vimes Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 The Death Gate Cycle series where I thought great books. They are, I think the type of books that really make you think after you have finished reading them. Has anyone else hear read them and what do you think? Quote
Athena Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I own all of them, although five are in Dutch and two in English. I've read I think four of them (not 1-4 as you might think) and quite liked them. I plan to (re)read the whole series sometime (although I might get all English versions before that happens). Quote
Vimes Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Ah! It might be a good idea to have all of then in the same language. Things get interpreted in different easy in different languages. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I nearly started buying these a little while ago, but I held off because I didn't like their Dragonlance books very much. I've got a friend who loves them, though, so I may give them (the authors) another try at some point. I was very tempted by Hickman's 'Annals of Drakis' as well, when I saw them in Forbidden Planet, but have so far held off for the same reason. I'll cave in one day . . . Quote
poppy Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 This was the first series of Weis and Hickman books I read and it remains my favourite. Quote
Vimes Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 I didn't know that they had written other books together. Quote
poppy Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 They've written heaps. Here's a link that gives a list of them. http://www.fictiondb.com/author/margaret-weis-tracy-hickman~38408.htm Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 This was the first series of Weis and Hickman books I read and it remains my favourite. I'm guessing it's better than the Dragonlance books, then, poppy? Quote
poppy Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) I'm guessing it's better than the Dragonlance books, then, poppy? No, I can't say that Karsa as I've only read a little of the Dragonlance books. Lots of the Dragonlance characters crop up in their other books though and I have a huge affection for many of them, particularly Tas, Fizban, Bupu and Flint. Edited March 19, 2013 by poppy Quote

Athena Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I've never read the Dragonlance books, I might do so at some point though. Quote
