Summary: Absolutely Abysmal
Review: Im trying to phrase this without using any obscenities, and its quite difficult. How to describe how utterly atrocious this book is? How to describe how it desecrates and ruins the beautiful original Trilogy? These are things that cannot be described, only experienced.Everything that made the original trilogy so good is gone. Intriguing characters, rational explanations - all gone. Why has Simkin returned? Why is Mosiah a Duuk-Tsarith? Why do people say God, when every Thimhallan would say Almin? Why is it in annoying first-person perspective? Basically, this book is trash. If you must, purchase it. But be warned - it is not a true sequel to the Darksword trilogy. There is no sequel to the Darksword trilogy. Excepting perhaps Adventures.

Summary: They killed it!
Review: It couldn't have been any worse. An encyclopedia has more dimension than this book. I had to read the book twice to see if it was really that bad. "Time hop-scotching" was very bad idea. I could have wrote a better novel. Simpkin shouldn't have been brought back. He's dead! Even he didn't have very much dimension (Though,I guess dead people usually don't.) The Darksword trilogy left you hanging a little bit, but should have been left alone.

Summary: Curiosity killed the cat
Review: It pains me to realize how bad this book really is. I'm a fan of other Weis & Hickman works and I love the Darksword Trilogy. This afterthought of a book does the series a grave injustice, however. The characters are flat and the plot is insanely dumb. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Summary: No Legacy here.
Review: Legacy of the Darksword blends together fantasy and science-fiction in a disharmonic confusing whirlwind. We are taken twenty years after the original trilogy ends. Saryon and his mute companion Reuven live in Oxford, England. Prince Garald is now King, of what, we do not know. Mosiah has unexpectedly joined the ranks of the Duuk-tsarith. Humankind is being hunted and destroyed by the Hch'nyv, an alien race seeking to eliminate everyone but themselves. Rumours stir that in Thimhallan Joram has created another Darksword, and that it is this that will stop the alien race from attacking. Saryon, Reuven, and Mosiah return to Thimhallan to attempt to persuade Joram to give them the sword so they can save humankind. Hot on their tail, however, is a group of people known as Technomancers who want the sword for their own reasons. Thrown into the mix is Eliza, Joram's daughter, and Scylla, an agent of a secret government department. Simpkin returns from the dead ... ...and it is only he who gave me any pleasure in this new tale. And even that was a dry emotion. The characters lack depth and the plotline is weak. Joram is a minor character, who has seemingly reverted to the angry and melancholy blackness of his youth. Time hop-scotching is introduced, whipping the story through three different alternate times. While this is okay if you're looking for a "light read," this book holds nothing of what the original Darksword Trilogy has. Although it appears the same size as the first three books, the font is much larger to make up for it. The entire story was unnecessary, as the trilogy ended in a befitting manner, closing the Prophecy nicely. I'm not going to say "Don't read this," but please be prepared as you go into it that it's NOTHING like the original Darksword Trilogy. Don't expect much from it.

Summary: Not as good as the others, but good
Review: Not many books I can finish in a day, because I get bored after a while and need a rest, I couldn't put this one down, sure the ending was corny, but it was still good, I don't know what the guys who say its bad are thinking.

Summary: In response to the review by Brandon A.Downey
Review: Ok... Although i might agree about the review made by Brandon Downey about "The Legacy of the Darksword"... I would like to object to the part where he said, "For some macabre reason, they seem compelled to write sequels to these series, and so far, they seem to be batting a thousand when it comes to taking worlds we all love, then writing a single, rushed book to destroy everything we loved about said worlds. (*Cough* dragons of summer flame *cough*)." For your information, Dragons of a Summer Flame is excellent... but you have to read The Second Generation first to understand the characters involved... Read the books in the right order! If you don't then your review is worthless.... For all you people out there who have been reading the Darksword series, and want to read more W&H books... then start with Dragon Lance... (Chronicles followed by Legends, then the Second Generation, Dragons of a Summer Flame, and finally Dragons of a Fallen Sun...)

Summary: Not as much of a let-down as everyone thinks!
Review: Okay, while this book did not come up to the standard set by the other three books, it wasn't all that bad. I just don't see what happened with the time difference. Anyway, the ending wasn't any more of a let-down than the rest of the book, and I will asuredly re-read this book as often as the originals.
