Athas, world of the dark sun: Ruled for thousands of years by power-mad sorcerer-kings, its cities have become vile centers of slavery and corruption. Only heroes of the greatest strength and bravest heart can stand against the might of these overlords. The Prism Pentad is a tale of such heroes.

This review is from: The Cerulean Storm: Prism Pentad, Book 5 (Paperback)

Of the Prism Pentad, I enjoyed only Verdant Passage more. I feel like the middle three books dragged a bit, but Denning finishes strong and ties up all the loose ends. I always appreciate when an author can successfully and plausibly lead you to a complex solution that is several books in the making, and Denning does not disappoint. The pace is fast and furious as Denning crams all the action necessary to wind up the series into this last book. If you enjoyed Verdant Passage, I consider this a must read (though you'll want to have read the rest of the series to fully appreciate this last entry). My biggest knock against this edition is all of the typos. Seriously, what's up with that? I don't consider that to be the author's fault but rather an editing issue. The story shines through just the same, but the frequent typos are jarring and unprofessional.
