Book Review: Descent into madness
Summary: 5 Stars
In this thrilling conclusion to the Darkwar Saga, we find Pug, Magnus and Nakor still in the Dasati realm, seeking a way to prevent the Dasati invasion of their realm, which would affect both Midkemia and Kelewan. At the same time, Miranda escapes the clutches of two Dasati deathpriests in Kelewan, tries to track down the fiendish necromancer Leso Varen, and prepare Kelewan for the Dasati invasion which seems increasingly likely.
Pug, Nakor and Magnus learn more about the Dasati, and more importantly the true nature of the Dark God of the Dasati. As those on Kelewan find them facing overwhelming numbers and odds, they come to realize the true horror of the Dasati invasion and can only speculate at the madness which seems poised to engulf the world.
Feist amazes us again with a complex story and an intelligent take on the nature of fantasy gods. Familiar characters are with us once more, and a few interesting twists are thrown in. Further, his vivid portrayal of the horror of war helps the reader envision, and pity, those facing the reality in Kelewan.
There are a couple of things that are obvious, and a couple that seem somewhat bizarre. I won't go into them, for fear of spoiling the plot. However, I have faith that Feist has more than a few explanations coming our way in the next series, the Demonwar Saga.
In my eyes, Feist remains the king of fantasy, long known for his creation and depiction of new worlds, vivid and intense descriptions of battle scenes, incorporation of stunning magic (although part of this book's use seems to defy belief/logic), crafting of endearing characters, and helping readers understand more easily the complex nature of deities.
True, he's not perfect...but who is? However, if you're looking for a book which rapidly cranks up the pace till you find yourself flying through the final third of the book, unable to stop until you've reached the dramatic climax...look no further.
I highly recommend this book.
Summary of Wrath of a Mad God: Book Three of the Darkwar Saga
The Darkwar rages, bringing bleak days of destruction and despair to Midkemia and Kelewan. To save both worlds, the powerful sorcerer Pug and select members of the mysterious Conclave of Shadows must journey deep into the dangerous realm of the bloodthirsty Dasati on an audacious mission that has little, if any, chance to succeed. In Midkemia, young warriors Tad and Zane and their fellow soldiers must protect the Kingdom from raiders. And Pug's beloved wife, Miranda, finds herself a prisoner of the Dasati and, even more ominously, of Pug's nemesis, the evil sorcerer Leso Varen.
But salvation may come from a friend thought long dead?an unlikely ally whose remarkable powers will be sorely needed. For there is a momentous battle looming . . . a final, fevered onslaught against the most malevolent agents of evil ever known.
