Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
The Darkwar saga continues but doesn’t, perhaps, conclude with a third volume showing Feist at his best. Aided by some of the ruthlessly warlike Dasati and the enigmatic youth Bek, Pug has infiltrated the Dasati homeland. Back in Midkemia, the Dasati invasion proceeds, capturing Pug’s wife, Miranda, who fortunately has more resources than Pauline ever had to deal with her perils; she is one of the strongest female characters in current high fantasy. Pug finds a friend thought long-dead in time for a climactic battle that may decide the fate of Midkemia, or not. High-class entertainment. --Roland Green

Product Description

The celebrated New York Times bestselling master of fantasy returns with the thrilling conclusion to his enthralling, explosive Darkwar Saga . . .

Wrath of a Mad God
Book three of The Darkwar Saga

"At this very moment, a dome of black energy is being expanded in a vale in the far north. This is not merely an invasion, but the beginning of a colonization, a process that will end with the complete annihilation of every life-form on this world."

The Darkwar rages upon Midkemia and Kelewan, bringing bleak days of destruction and despair. To save the future of both worlds, the powerful sorcerer Pug and select members of the secretive Conclave of Shadows must journey deep into the dangerous realm of the bloodthirsty Dasati, there to carry out an audacious mission that has little, if any, chance of succeeding.

In Midkemia, young warriors Tad and Zane, and their fellow soldiers, protect the Kingdom from raiders. And Pug's beloved wife, Miranda, finds herself a prisoner of the Dasati and, even more ominously, of Pug's nemesis, the evil sorcerer Leso Varen.

Salvation may come from a friend thought long dead, an unlikely ally whose remarkable powers will be sorely needed in the momentous battle to come . . . a final, fevered onslaught against the most malevolent agents of evil ever known.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sad disappointment to the Darkwar Saga, April 1, 2008

By	Grant Stephenson "Grant" (Ames, IA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have read every single book Raymond Feist has put out, starting with Magician: Apprentice. I consider Magician, and the subsequent books - Darkness at Sethanon, etc, to be his greatest work. However, in this novel there were some glaring problems that just did not seem like Feist was on his game at all.

In the first two books of the Darkwar Saga, we were introduced to Tad & Zane & Jommy, who played a predominant role. In this book, Tad & Zane have maybe 3 lines. Jommy has a few, but not really. It is as if these characters were just removed from the whole plotline, they influenced the book not at all. I was very disappointed in this. Why do we have characters being introduced in the first couple of books, and then suddenly they are not killed off, but just relegated to supporting characters.

Secondly, the interaction between Pug & well, let's say, the powers that be... It seems like Feist has taken his once beautiful setting with imagery and characters that you could really enjoy, and instead turned it into a Terry Goodkind knock-off. If the characters are so powerful and the storyline so dull that they need to chum it up with Gods, perhaps it is time to put an end to the whole Riftwar/Midkemia deal.

Now, I read all the Conclave of Shadows novels and I felt they were of lower quality as well, but the Darkwar saga has extremely disappointed me, and if you are looking for traditional Raymond E Feist quality work, you will not find it here.

If anyone disagrees with my viewpoint, I highly encourage you to read this book (from the library) and then re-read Magician: Apprentice, Master, Darkness at Sethanon, etc, those books really drew you into the story, and made you feel like these were living, breathing characters. With the Terry Goodkind-esque omnipotent characters in this book, the believability is gone and there is no way to empathize with either the characters or with the Tsurani, which was probably the hardest thing to reconcile.

Daughter of the Empire, Mistress of the Empire, Servant of the Empire, with Feist/Janny Wurts - Those were also excellent novels in which you were drawn to the characters. If I had to pick between another Midkemia book or a Tsurani one, I would shoot for a Tsurani one with perhaps Wurts collaborating again.

Anyways, I hope that the next book Feist comes out with has a little less bling and a little more substance.

Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Raymond Feist book!, July 1, 2008

By	Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

In this sequel to Into a Dark Realm, author Raymond Feist takes us back to his magical world of Midkemia. Things are becoming desperate as the Dasati prepare for their invasion. But which world are they going to hit, Midkemia or Kelewan? There is much more involved here than meets the eye, and powerful players lurk in the back ground. Many questions will be answered, and great truths will be revealed, but the cost will be great, very great indeed.

OK, what can I say? I have been a Raymond Feist fan for many years, and I love his books. Reading them from the beginning, I can tell you that each one goes onto a bigger realm and more powerful players. It's almost like traveling outward from the center of an onion - when you think you've reached the end you instead find yourself moving out to a bigger world. And, this book is no exception.

But, has Mr. Feist finally gone one step too far? Well, personally, I liked this book. Perhaps there were some imperfections that should have been ironed out when the story was being fleshed out, but I did nonetheless find this to be a fascinating and highly enjoyable story. I liked the characters, the action, the worlds, and how the book kept me on the edge of my seat right up to the end!

Yeah, I thought that this was a very good book, and I don't hesitate to recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost old school Feist - Spoiler free review, April 19, 2008

By	aPlateOfGrapes (Westbrook, Maine USA) - See all my reviews

I began reading Feist almost from the begining and he's always been one of my favorite authors. The characters introduced in the first book of the trilogy (Flight of the Nighthawks) are almost non-existant... and that's a good thing since I rate that as being Feist's worst solo job. You could completely remove the "Flight" characters (Tad, Zone, & Jommy) and their scenes from the book and you wouldn't notice. Nothing they did advanced the plot (particularly that bit with the Quor... what the heck was that all about?). All in all a well written page turner that most Feist fans will enjoy.

Pros: Well written, draws you in
Pug, Nakor, & Co.
Not too many loose ends (except Quor... and I don't want to revisit, thank you very much)

Cons:
Thomas - when did his character become so one dimensional?
That whole Quor business
Why didn't Kaspar or anyone else on Quor protest the killing of his injured peeps? You'd think that might upset him a little.
How about include some more maps inside the book?
When did the Dread folks become such major bad... keisters?
