4.0 out of 5 stars Again it's great, but..., October 11, 2000

This review is from: Rose of the Prophet, Volume III: The Prophet of Akhran (Mass Market Paperback)

Having read the first two books of this series I couldn't wait for this one and I was not disappointed after getting it. The book is simply great and different from the other fantasy books I've read... the style, the characters and more. I read it in about a week and was eager for the next part. But that's where I was wrong... it was the final part of the series.

I somehow have an unhappy feeling, the ending is just not an ending. The series seems to stop in the middle... as if suddenly all the inspiration was gone. Where the series could, and in my opinion should, go on in a next book this isn't the case. For example, the book speaks of a massive battle to come, but then suddenly ends...

That's also why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5... the ending was just such a disappointment for me. The book would be getting 5 stars if it wasn't the final part for it is great to read, from the first to the last page. However, the abrubt ending ruined quite a bit for me... sadly. But I enjoyed every page in every part...

Why don't ppl write books like this anymore and actually end their series (take a hint Jordan)? Will Zohra end up with matthew? Will matthew make it home? Will Khardan free his brother from the dog faced general? A must READ!

This review is from: Rose of the Prophet, Volume III: The Prophet of Akhran (Mass Market Paperback)

This final book of the Rose of the Prophet trilogy really did it for me. All of the loose ends were wrapped up and the mysteries revealed. While some people seem to think that the ending wasn't satisfactory, I disagree. The book ends with a pretty clear picture of what the future holds for the characters and the resolution of the plot was complete. This was my favorite book of the trilogy because of the fast pace and intense action. While the first two books seemed a bit drawn out and slow due to the neccesities of character and plot development, this book was right to the point and brought the whole trilogy to an exciting climax.

In my opinion, this final volume makes the whole trilogy really worth reading. While not Weis and Hickman's best story that I've read, I still enjoyed it very much.
