Summary: Damningly Compelling
Review: This is the culmination of a series of struggles and a series
of intricate and fantastic relationships. Ray understands the most
important aspect of writing is not the cool tricks, wacky magic or
neat monsters--although there is all that--but, rather, it is
the characterization and interaction between characters which
develops the story.

Summary: Darkness At Sethanon
Review: 'A Darkness at Sethanon,' is the epic finale to the rift war saga. In the first book: Magician, we get to know Pug & Tomas, & are with them, as they grow both in power & stature in very different ways. In Silverthorn we are more with Arutha, & co. as they search for the remedial flower for Anita, & the threat of Murmandus is revealed, as the party stumble across nighthawks & Black slayers on their quest. In the final section, Pug travels to icy peaks in Tsurani, to study with the mystical eldar, in preparation of facing the 'Enemy.' This all builds up to the last book; 'A Darkness..'where the valiant companions, Jimmy, Laurie, Arutha etc. battle against the vast army of Murmandus, under the command of their former enemy Guy du bass, fighting from a surrounded fort.
Meanwhile Pug & Tomas are astride the back of a mighty dragon Rhuath, in different worlds & ages, fighting against weird & fascinating monsters with magic & steel, searching for the supposedly omnnnipotent sorcerer, Macros. their journey takes them far & wide,in which Feist really throws forth his imagination, to make two seperate quests of power & glory -Pug, Thomas + Arutha & co. as the story reaches an exciting conclusion, drawing you right into the heart of the book. Well done Feist!

Summary: Excellent addition to the thrilling series
Review: This is the 4th and final book in the Riftwar series. I would have to say that it was a great ending to the the series. I really don't want to give away anything major but suffice to say you will not be sorry you picked it up. The only problem I have with this series is that there is never really any doubt that all will turn out well in the end. It would be nice to see the heroes get a few bumps along the way or to have the ending in doubt. Now having said that I will say that this is a great book as is the rest of the Riftwar series.

Summary: Wow!!
Review: This is truly one of the best books I've read! It is the fourth book of the Riftwar Saga (Magician Apprentice, Magician Master, and Silverthorn being the first 3), and the prior books have you prepared for this one.
A stunningly described world, that left me wanting even more when it was done. However, do not take that good feeling and rush to the "next" books (The Krondor books) or you will be greatly disappointed.
However, THIS book is anything BUT a disappointment! Pug and Thomas are faced with so much trouble that you really begin to wonder if they can make it - even though you KNOW they have to win.
One reviewer said how boring to have immortal main characters, all I can say is when dealing with immortal EVIL, an equally strong good side is better than a mortal with no power somehow overcoming all.
Do not overlook the first three books, as they are also very good, but no other book compares to Darkness at Sethanon.

Summary: ...Bwahaha! THIS BOOK IS TERRIBLE!
Review: "A Darkness at Sethanon" is the incredible final fourth volume in the Riftwar Saga. The events explored in the prior volume continue with Prince Arutha, Pug, and Tomas at the helm. The Enemy is seeking to destroy Arutha, Lord of the West, thereby fulfilling an ancient prophecy regarding a return to the Midkemia universe. Many surprises await the reader as old and new characters play critical roles in the fight against evil. This volume is by far the best and an incredible climax to the saga. The writing is beautiful and the story proceeds at a skilled 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.I had an excellent time reading the book after all these years and highly recommend the series to any fan of the fantasy genre. Thank you.
