Opening up the Portal to the Next Stage

Great Read! The last book in the cycle that provide some closure to many sub-plots across many of the previous books. The major plot centers on the Invasion of Kelewan and how Pug has to carry the torch that started with Marcos and playing the Game of Gods. Some goodbye to some friends and some interesting discoveries about some of the characters! If you are true fan of Fantasy a great read and you won't be disappointed!

The Godkiller Strikes

Wrath of a Mad God (2008) is the third fantasy novel of the Darkwar Saga, following Into a Dark Realm. In the previous volume, the necromancer Leso Varen traps Miranda and gives her to the Dasati Deathpriests. The boys are captured by Salmater troops. Pug and his friends travel the Star Bridge to Omadrabar and find Macros the Black in a Dasati body. In this novel, on Kelewan, Miranda escapes from the Deathpriests and alerts the Assembly of Magicians to look for the present incarnation of Leso Varen. The dome where she had been held is now gone, but the Dasati minions of the Dark God will be back. Miranda briefs the Assembly and the Emperor on her experiences and starts preparations for the invasion. On Omadrabar -- the Dasati homeworld -- Pug and his friends avoid the Great Culling and then find the enclave of the Bloodwitch Sisters. Macros is dying, but tells them various secrets before his death. Returning to Omadrabar City, Pug finds that Nakor also has news. On Midkemia, Jommy and the other cadets are surveilling a cove and watch a group of pirates rowing to the beach. They are accompanied by a sorcerer of some sort, who conjures a demon that appears to be made of molten material. They are holding off the pirates, but loosing to the demon, when an elf appears and destroys the demon. The elf and his friends take the Conclave forces as prisoners and march them off to their fort. In this story, Miranda finds herself in a war between the Dasati and the Tsurani. The Tsurani kill countless Dasati, but they are losing men at the rate of thirty to one. The Dasati are also dying from the ambient energies, but they are still gaining ground. Pug learns that the Dark God is a Dreadlord. Then the White learns that an invasion of Kelewan is imminent. Volka orders the White forces to gather for their ultimate attack on the TeKarana. They only hope that the Godkiller will eliminate His Darkness. Jim Dasher sneaks off from the elf stockade and reaches their ship on the other side of the point. He reports the situation to the captain and uses a teleport ball to return to Sorcerer' Isle. He again describes the situation and then gets Miranda to take him to Elvandar. There he gains the aid of Tomas and the dragon Ryath. This tale concludes the Darkwar Saga. The deathrate in this tale exceeds that of the whole Riftwar. Mostly people die to feed the Dark God, but there is also plenty of action. We also discover that the humans have been tools of the gods in this story. So what else is new? The story involves at least four worlds in two separate levels of reality and two places in between the levels. Other such levels are shown in divine visions, but nobody actually sets foot on them in this plot. And one world is partially evacuated before its destruction. Could this work be considered "mage opera"? Highly recommended for Feist fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of interdimensional travel, gigantic magic, and tragic sacrifi

Another great Raymond Feist book!

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!
