A Darkness At Sethanon (The Riftwar Saga #4)
A Darkness at Sethanon is the final book in the Riftwar Saga, the first subseries in Raymond E. Feists Riftwar Cycle. Like the previous books, this was a good story that held my interest all the way through. I didnt enjoy it quite as well as the previous books, though. It seemed like there was less of the fun banter that Ive enjoyed so much in previous books, although there were still some great moments. Also, although this book wrapped the story up pretty well, I had some complaints about how
They were images of terrible beauty, magnificent beings of astonishing power, in armor of bright color and splendid form, riding upon the backs of ancient dragons. The Enemy is here! Quests, magic, intrigues, passion, mystery, and revenge culminate in an explosive battle to close out the Rift War Tetralogy. Did I mention the DRAGONS?After four books this was a real first pump of an ending! And there are thirty more books!Then we can celebrate. Damn me, but if we dont have a reason, no one
Not one strong female in the entire series. After reading the entire Wheel of Time series (where strong females grace every storyline) last year I wandered off to see more of the fantasy genre. Sadly I will not be reading anymore Feist. I loved the fast pace but hated the sexism. The main women in the storyline are always beautiful and never have anything helpful to say. They are always badgering the male characters.Like another reviewer I don't believe it was done maliciously, it just seemed to
I'm so glad I squeezed it in for the end of the year. :) Reading A Darkness at Sethanon again after so many years and having loved the series BOTH times, I feel kind of sad having finished it. I could keep going forever.Fortunately, I might be able to. Feist has kept writing since I finished these the first time. :) :)We see a lot more of the dragons, Pug, and Thomas in this one. But let's not forget about Jimmy the Hand! Martin Longbow! Getting to know past enemies and butting heads with new is
Meh.Maybe I'm misremembering, but when I read Magician I thought Feist's writing was pretty decent, if heavy on fantasy tropes (some of which I'm sure he helped create). So I don't know if his writing got worse or my tolerance of it went down since then, but I just found this book a trifle tedious. The dialogue is trite, there's far too much overblown exposition, everything "seems" to do something or does something "as though" doing something else, and by god could you not change POV without
Finally the first series of riftwar cycle has come to an end. I really loved it and have a lot to talk about.Full review - http://randombookthought.blogspot.com...

I'm so disappointed in this series. I loved Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master, but after that, the series took a turn. Silverthorn and A Darkness At Sethanon have a completely different feel than the Magician books. The magic practically disappears, and the majority of both books are composed of battle after battle after battle. It's incredibly tedious. The series should have stopped after Magician: Master. If you're interested in reading this series, my recommendation is to definitelyA Darkness at Sethanon is the final book in the Riftwar Saga, the first subseries in Raymond E. Feists Riftwar Cycle.
