From Library Journal
Pryan, the Realm of Fire, holds an important secret for Haplo, the servant of an ancient race bent on revenge. Bearing with him the seeds of Pryan's destruction, Haplo discovers that much of his work has already been done by the incessant warring among the dwarves, elves, and humans of an unhappily divided world. Weis and Hickman continue to exercise their unlimited ability to create intriguing fantasy backgrounds filled with colorful personalities in this stand-alone sequel to Dragon Wing ( LJ 12/89). Purchase where the authors are popular or fantasy has a strong following.

Kurzbeschreibung
On steamy Pryan, never-ending sunlight and plentiful rain have created a jungle so vast that humans and elves dwell high in the trees and only dwarves live anywhere near the ground. From the treetops the aristocratic elves sell weapons to the other races, whose incessant warfare sends a steady steam of profits and essential resources skyward. Now, generations of dissent and race hatred will not heal -- not even under the threat of annihilation at the hands of legendary Titans. Armed with little more than their wits and prophecy, an elf, a human, and a dwarf must unite to try to save the world from destruction.

Format:Taschenbuch
This is the 2nd book of the Death Gate Cycle and has only one returning character from the first book "Dragon Wing" : the Patryn Haplo. The book starts out slow as we are introduced to the Realm of Fire, Pryan. This world stays lit constantly which has made the surface a massive jungle so high that only dwarves have ever seen the ground. The story starts with our introduction to an elf family who are in the weapons business. As the best in the trade, they are the richest in the land. They are selling a new shipment of magic weapons to a pair of human traders/smugglers who in turn are smuggling them to the dwarves. The dwarves are worried due to rumors that mythical Tytans are on the move and destroying everything in their path.
It is into this scene that Zifnab (Fizban for those who've read the Dragonlance series) makes a grand entrance fighting to control a huge dragon. After gaining control of the dragon, he predicts Haplo's coming and that the Patryn will be their savior.
So when Haplo does show up, he is surprised to see he has been expected and his arrival is none to soon. The mythical Tytans have proved to be all to real and are destroying everything in their path. Much to Haplo's surprise, these Tytans know crude Sartan magic which they use with the force of a mountain and nearly kill Haplo. Haplo and a few survivors barely escape with there lives and make for one of the "stars" in the sky. It is here that Haplo learns about the creation of the Tytans but is no closer to learning what happened to his enemies, the Sartans.
Learning about the political situation of Pryan is a tad slow in the begining but Zifnab makes great comic relief and the Tytans make for an interesting creature that (IMO) helps speed the book along. This book continues to slowly show us that Haplo is not pure evil just because he's a Patryn. All-in-all an excellent read!
Format:Taschenbuch
Continuing the Death Gate series with the story of Pyran, the realm of fire, Weis and Hickman seem to slip a little here. There is almost nothing to the plot, and it is nearly devoid of action. Another point I disliked was Zifnab, who has appeared in other Weis-Hickman books like the Dragonlance (Fizban) and Starsheild (Zanfib) series. Sure he's funny, but he sticks out, and seperates from the plot. He spoils the mood of the series. Luckily, he dissapears from the 3rd and 4th books, but he returns in the later books, most unfortunatley. I wouldn't say that he spoils the sereis- it is still great. It's just that he is very distracting.
Luckily, Weis and Hickman redeem themselves with Fire Sea, the next book in the series.
Format:Taschenbuch
Elven Star has a character unlike those of the other 6 books in the Death Gate series. It has a child-like appreciation of what is amusing and lighthearted in life. Zifnab and the dragon are a fantastic comic creation and the book does wonders in furthering the Death Gate story. Best of all, Elven Star never takes itself too seriously.

This is the best of the Death Gate Cycle!
