1.0 out of 5 stars Army tanks do not belong in a fantasy world!!!!!, August 27, 2002

By A Customer

Read the first two books and then make up your own ending.
If you read this book, it will ruin the first two for you.
So resist the temptation.
The merging of the modern world into an imaginary fantasy world should never happen, yet the authors try to do this.
Why? Why ruin such a great story?

1.0 out of 5 stars Downfall of the Darksword, August 22, 2001

By	Victor Patterson (Marsh Harbour, Abaco Bahamas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read these books as they came out. I enjoyed the first one and the second one, though I did not consider them to be great. The second one showed some real weakness towards the end. A few chapters into this one, the story came totally unglued. To say I hated it would be too mild. Too much is never explained or happens without reason. Simkin is the prime example of this. Who was he and what was motivating him? And why does he always do something other than what he says until the last part? I re-read most books at least once, but this one will never get picked up again by me. Thank goodness Weis and Hickman rebounded with the much better "Rose of the Prophet". That's one I can re-read any time and enjoy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Finale ruins the trilogy, October 26, 1997

By A Customer

This was nurdling on along just fine as another Hickman and Weis fantasy trilogy; nothing out of the ordinary, but perfectly readable.

Then you get to the end of this book, and it all completely falls apart. Boy, but did they ever ruin things here. Sigh.
