Book description
Forget everything you think you know about fantasy. Margaret Weis' Dragon Wing isn't just a book-it's a masterclass in making you question why you've ever trusted a king with a plot. Imagine a world where magic is so divided, you need a passport to cross from the Realm of Sky (floating islands, dragons, and water wars) to anywhere else. The politics? As delicate as a dragon's wing in a hurricane.
The audiobook? Pure, unadulterated gold. The narrator doesn't just read; they live it. You hear the elven magic currents humming beneath your feet as you're carried on a dragon's back, while the dwarf's rebellion feels like a union meeting where everyone's arguing about who gets the last drop of water. And the assassin? Oh, the assassin. The king hires them to kill his own prince. Because nothing says "family bonding" like a hired killer with a side of existential dread.
Weis doesn't just build a world-she builds a problem. The sorcerers who split it into four realms? Poof, gone. The magicians who forgot how to use the other realms? Classic. But the real genius is how she makes you care about the water wars. It's not about epic battles; it's about who gets the last drop when the sky's the limit. You'll find yourself nodding along to the dwarf's rebellion: "Yeah, that's exactly how my boss handles office politics." The wizard's plan to rule Arianus? So over-the-top, it's hilarious. It's the kind of scheme that'd make a villain in a cartoon say, "This is why I'm the bad guy!"
And the Death Gate? It's less a gateway, more a cosmic Wi-Fi router for all the magic's broken connections. You'll laugh when the "mysteries" feel like a group project you're definitely not qualified for. But that's the charm: Weis never lets you forget it's all a bit ridiculous. The audiobook leans into this perfectly-every sarcastic line, every "oh, now I see why the water's so precious," lands like a perfectly timed punchline.
Don't expect a slow burn. Dragon Wing is a whirlwind of dragons, backstabbing, and water politics that'll have you hitting "repeat" on the audiobook just to catch all the jokes. It's the fantasy you've been waiting for: smart, absurd, and utterly impossible to ignore. You'll be arguing with your dragon about whose turn it is to fetch water before you even finish the first chapter. And honestly? You'll love every second of it.
