In this novel, the struggle for power continues between Maigrey, Derek Sagan, and Dion Starfire. However, a new, deadly opponent comes to the surface. The new opponent is going to try to tear apart the Guardians and Dion. However, Maigrey and Sagan have a few tricks up their sleeves! This novel continues right where the first one ended. It is fast paced and highly enjoyable.

The characters are what make this story one of the best I have ever read. Maigrey, Tusk, and Sagan are some of the most powerful characters I have ever found. Weis excells in constructing an immediate sense of the situations in King's Test. The politician Robes is a villian everyone loves to hate. Especially fascinating is the history of the galaxy that precedes the story. Unusually, Weis seems to have three or four main characters, instead of one. Dion Starfire would qualify as the central figure, but the others are so powerfully written that they almost seem to take over the book. References to Milton, Plato, Dickens enrich an already thought-provoking work. After Lost King, I couldn't sleep until I had read the other three books. I would suggest this book to anyone with an interest in futuristics, or for anyone just looking for a great read.

This truly is a galatic fantasy, as the author describes. Real emotions were portrayed by the main characters, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys well thought out and creative story telling.

King's Sacrifice continues the great story of Dion Starfire and his spiritual struggles. Dion so badly wants to become a man and assume the throne. His interactions with Sagan and the StarLady, as Sagan's men now call Maigrey Morianna, keep tugging at him mercilessly.

Dion becomes involved with the leader of an ancient priesthood from the Order of Dark Lightning. He trusts the man will take him straight to the throne, but Abdiel has plans of his own. Sagan and Maigrey must use everything they've been given to overcome Abdiel and bring Dion safely back to reality.

A whole new group of wonderful characters emerge in this book. Bear Olefsky, a mountain of a man and an ally of Sagan's, Snaga, the brilliant weapons manufacturer, a vapor breather, and an Amazon woman warrior and leader of a powerful plant. Sagan and Maigrey must use all the players in order to bring Dion closer to the throne.

A great tale continued with this book...

it was neat to put those jokes with XJ in em. Abdiel was rather funny in his sick way (not including his leper-like skin.)my fav. character was XJ.always tight-fisted, jump-juice hating is XJ. Margret keep it up. i love the work.

As the second book of the four book sage it is my second favourite the third one being my favourite. I loved this saga, it had everything in it to be a brilliant movie series, but no movie could ever bring these characters to life as Margret Weis did in these books. This is one of the best books I have ever read.

This second book is the my favorite of the Star of the Guardians series- my favorite set of books that I have ever read. It is simply fantastic and does more for me than any other book. With the mother of all flashbacks- this is a fantastic book!!!

I read the complete saga and I just can't find another word for it; it is just truely brilliant. The characters are incredebly and the entire story NEVER EVER gets boring. A nice balance between action, humor and feelings is part of that. I am just sorry that Magaret Weis did not write anymore Science Fiction books...she would have a great future ( I never read any of her Fantasy stuff)...

I DID NOT MEET ANYBODY YET WHO DIDN'T LIKE THIS SAGA!!!

I hope you'll find the time to read it, too !
