4.0 out of 5 stars
Simple review,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Darkness Before the Dawn (Dark Sun World / Chronicles of Athas, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought it was a pretty good book even though in my opinion the first book in The Chronicles of Athas was better. I liked the way they could fight using psionic power without having to do it physically. Its a good book if you enjoy reading about fantasy worlds where dwarfs, elves and all sort of other things live and can use magic and mental powers.

This review is from: The Darkness Before the Dawn (Dark Sun World / Chronicles of Athas, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
I recommend this book. The author does a great job describing the dangerous Athas desert, where everything is adapted for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment. The only thing saving inexperienced Jedra and Kayan is their innate powerful psionic talent. Unlike the Tribe of One series, though, the powerful power doesn't make our protagonists invincible since they can't finely control it, and sometimes they cause more problems than they solve with it. Aware of this limitation, they plan to seek out a psionics master for training, but they have to get through the desert first...
Between the adventure through the desert and the relationship between the main characters, this book is great. It takes a strange twist with the discovery of some crystals that have a big role in the story, though. And I would have preferred a stronger ending.
