Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
Second volume of the Watershed trilogy (A Breach in the Watershed, 1995), set in a world divided by lofty mountains into three provinces: mundane Dalethica; Faerine, realm of the good- magic Aura; and Duloth-Trol, source of the evil-magic Darkblood. Duloth-Trol's ruler, the bad god Dassedec, continues his attempts to conquer the world. Once more he's opposed by mountaineer Rudy Appenfell, who has drunk water derived from all three provinces simultaneously and has become the Man of Three Waters, a magical warrior with the power to unite all those who oppose Dassedec. Again, bristly and energetic, and commendably self-contained, but with neither the craft nor the originality to stand out in a cluttered and overblown field. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Highlight in Watershed series,
By Devlin McGregor (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Darkenheight: The Watershed Trilogy 2 (Paperback)
Darkenheight is the second book of the Watershed Trilogy and it delivers just like Breach in the Watershed. In my opinion, Darkenheight is probably the best out of the three books as it didn't concentrate too much on Rudy and Raine's love affair and instead focused on the battles in Faerine and Dalethica. These were brilliantly written but I think that the low point for all of the Watershed books is the weakness of character. Rudy is a very weak character whose values are very low and Raine gets quite irritating very quickly. This story lacks more of the Drizzt type characters in Salvatore's books. But overall, a very good book.
