Death Gate Novels?

Question

Anyone else like these books? It's been a few years since I read them, but I think I'm going to hunt them down and buy myself the series. I remember really enjoying them (except for the Second one). Who are your favorite characters? I was always especially fond of Dog XD.

Answer 1

Oh, I remember reading these! (Was Dog XD Haplo's dog?)

Just looked them up to refresh my memory; I liked the first book with the Gegs, and then the terribly sad one about the elves living in the trees. My favourite was the one inside the world of fire, where "lazars" were dead people brought to life. I also liked the scenes of Haplo and the Nexus. The others weren't so good - can't remember them so well!

Here's what I looked up:

Answer 2

I read those. I thought they were OK, although unlike the other person who answered, I liked the Dragonlance books better. lol To each his own! I remember liking Limbeck (I think that was his name anyway). He was a dwarf? Only they called themselves something different? It's been a while since I read them I guess. I think the book about them was my favorite, I liked the 'machine' and how they tended the machine, how important it was to them, even though they didn't know why or what it did. Just did what they did cuz that's what they did and had always done.

Answer 3

I was soooo disappointed with the Dragonlance books that I've never picked up another book by Margaret Weis.
