Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The satisfying conclusion to the Riftwar!
Review: Such a magical series like the Riftwar Saga deserves a correspondingly satisfying and climatic conclusion. In A Darkness at Sethanon, Feist writes some of his best battle scenes ever, and the plot thickens with rapidity.

A Darkness at Sethanon cannot possibly disappoint someone already hooked by the magic of Magician and Silverthorn. The level of conflict intensifies and the ominous dark forces gather. The heroes of the land brace for the coming storm. Victory must be achieved to ensure the safety of Midkemia.

The Riftwar series as a whole gets a resounding conclusion from this last book. This is Feist at his best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Epic Writing at its best
Review: This is a wonderful conclusion to one of the best fantasy series of all time.

If you have not read the prior three books (Magician I & II and Silverthorn), you probably will not get much out of this, though. This book builds upon characters introduced earlier, so new readers will find themselves lost quickly.

However, as I said, this is a wonderful book -- my favorite out of all Feist novels.

The characters of Pug, Arutha, and Jimmy are fully explored, and more background is given on the mysterious and awesome Macros. The story is intelligent, and the manner in which Feist weaves several subplots and storylines together is truly magnificent.

Read this book, and read this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Feist does it again!
Review: After finishing this book shortly after reading Silverthorne I can only aknowledge "A Darkness at Sethanon" to be a fitting closure to Feist's Riftwar saga. I can only recommend this to others who have read the previous novels in the series, yet this book is definetely worthy of the author and the series, leaving no doubt that this book will go down as the best of the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Feist kicks .....!
Review: I'm 13 years old and have read both the Riftwar, and the Serpentwar Sagas. I enjoyed the first set of books more than their sequels. Pug, Tomas, and Arutha are no longer characters in a book, but actually like living people. The battle sequence of Armengar is the most breath taking battle since the Tsurani's seige on the castle Crydee. This book, and all of Feist's books are excellent, and I would tell anyone to read about mine, and everyone else's best friends.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This and Magician Master are masterpieces
Review: These 2 books make the Riftwar series what it is. These books combine just the right amount of wizardry, the right amount of guessing as to what the old world was like (all fantasy books have a shrouded glory period in their past, and it is always the author who dangles tantalizing pieces of it in front of the reader to egg them on).

These 2 books shine through the whole series. The land was believeable, the characters age (gasp), royaly is approachable, good men turn bad, bad men turn good. In all a believable book.

The most impressive part of these books, and this series is the land though. Feist has created such a unique and intersting land that I am sure hte stories virtually wrote themselves. The tapestry that Feist created is so beautiful and bursting with history, past and present that it would be virutally impossible to write a bad book in it. (unless of course he follows hte path of jordan and writes 4 book to many)

Read this book, read the first 2 books and consider yourself happy with this series. It is worth the time, and the enjoyment to read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Entertaining...probably the best of the series
Review: This is good, if fairly standard, fantasy. It has some significant problems (some of the dialogue made me cringe), but overall it is worthwhile. It is entertaining. I enjoyed most the parts dealing with Pug, Tomas, and Macros. Most of the characters seemed a bit too good to be true (this is usually the case with Feist), and the evil characters...well, they lacked genuine menace. I would recommend this one, and this series, but would warn a new reader not to expect too much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: unreal
Review: Although many other fantasy series have caught my attention none have hooked me like the riftwar saga. Darkness at sethanon rounded of an intriguing and gripping trilogy and you would be a fool to miss out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review
Review: I believe A Darkness at Sethanon is a great book. I like the fine details of the scenes and many places. I also like the way the plot is so different from many fantasy books. This is one of the best books I've read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: Feist is my favorite author and I have read almost every one of his books. This is by far his best work. It is very imaginitive and I love how it digs into the history of the worlds. I also recomend that you also read Prince of the Blood and The King's Buccaneer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: good finish!
Review: This four-book series is one my favorites. I just wish Feist had stopped after writing ADAS because the follow-up books are nowhere near as good.
