A Darkness At Sethanon

Dragged on far too long. I'd had enough of Jimmy “The Hand” by the end of the second book, enough to have to tolerate with him more. The only thing that kept my interest and gained it a 3 star was the Pug storyline.

A Darkness at Sethanon is the incredible finale to the Riftwar Saga. The tale picks up where the earlier book left off, with Arutha, Pug, and Tomas at the forefront. There's a lot explained of an ancient enemy and of Macross the Black. The twists and turns will still surprise you as old and new characters play critical roles in the fight against evil. This book is an incredible climax to the saga. The writing is beautiful and the story proceeds at a brilliant pace. The author conveys the magic invoked brilliantly, placing the reader in the middle of the conflicts creating a definite classic. All of the battles are awe-inspiring with brilliant strategy and tactics. This saga is highly recommended to all readers of the fantasy genre, and even to those who don't usually read fantasy.
