Synopsis

After the four worlds Alfred has at last found  his people on Chelstra, the realm of sea. But his  travels have taught him to be cautious... and  Alfred soon realizes his caution is justified, even  among his own kind. The one person Alfred can trust  is, strangely, Haplo the Patryn. But Haplo's lord  has decreed all Sartan to be the enemy, and Haplo  dares not go against his lord. Now the companions  have arrived in a land where humans, elves, and  dwarves have learned to live in peace. Unaware of an  even greater threat to all the realms, it is  Sartan and Patryn who will disrupt this alliance of the  lesser races in their struggle to gain control of  all four worlds. Only Alfred and Haplo realize  that they have a much older -- and more powerful --  enemy than each other...

Goodreads review by Charlie on December 29, 2008

I am a huge fan of the Death Gate Cycle septet. Dragon Wing (book 1) is epic, Elven Star is still 5 stars, and Fire Sea is really good (4 stars). However, Serpent Mage (book 4) was disappointing on the second read. Weis and Hickman pretty much phoned this one in. Nothing of any gravity happened unti......more

Goodreads review by Leonardo on August 23, 2021

Like the third act in a play, Serpet Mage is the turning point in this ambitious seven-book fantasy epic. By the end of the book, the final touches of the world-building process are in place and the main characters have faced a deep personal crisis that challenges their whole view of the world and t......more

Goodreads review by Octarine on September 09, 2021

Mon tome préféré de la série jusqu'ici, avec L'Aile du dragon. Depuis le tome 1, je n'avais pas trop accroché avec les personnages, hormis Haplo, le chien et Alfred. J'ai enfin renoué avec eux. Globalement, j'ai aimé tous les nouveaux venus : Grundle, Devon, Alake, Sabia et leurs parents, et j'ai une......more
