    <body><![CDATA[I personally felt that A Darkness at Sethanon is a very good book and a fitting end to a very good fantasy series. The author stepped up the action quite a bit and the battle of Armengar is just amazing.

Still, it grew on me and I wondered what was going to happen enough to keep reading.  <br/>This book, I have to say, is the worst so far.  It is incredibly predictable, to put it mildly.

    <![CDATA[<em>A Darkness at Sethanon</em> completes the &quot;Riftworld saga&quot; which  started with Feist's <em>Magician</em>. When  Raymond Feist's enormous  novel was published, critics called it &quot;the best new fantasy concept in years&quot;,  and Feist has  refined and explored that concept over a dozen novels. His &quot;concept&quot; was to  bring together two  (and later, more) whole, intricately realised Fantasy worlds. Midkemia is a  Tolkienian realm, a  European-Medieval series of kingdoms in which magic is prominent, and  where men share the  earth with dwarves and elves. Feist's genius was inventing another sword  and sorcercy realm  based more closely on eastern models, the Empire of Tsuranuanni, as vast as  Ancient China, as  formalised and devoted to the arts of war as a samurai Japan. A magical rift  in time-space brings  these two worlds clashing together, and the young boy Pug and his soldier  friend Tomas are  thrown into the ensuing maelstrom of invasion and epic battle, before  embarking on a more  fundamental magical journey towards the very roots of evil itself. Feist's two  sequels to  <em>Magician</em>,  <em>Silverthorn</em> and  <em>A Darkness at  Sethanon </em> complete  the richly conceived &quot;Riftwar Saga&quot;, and Fiest has gone on to chronicle other  aspects of his  invented worlds. With Janny Wurts he wrote the &quot;Empire&quot; trilogy, which  charts the rise, through  the rigid patriarchy of the Empire of Tsuranuanni, of a remarkable female  heroine, a woman who  eventually reaches the heights of the imperial throne itself <em>Daughter of the  Empire</em>,  <em>Servant of the  Empire</em> and  <em>Mistress of  Empire</em>. More recently he has returned to the world of Medkemia,  and to his hero Pug, with the Serpentwar saga, beginning with <em>Shadow of a Dark  Queen</em> and continuing with <em>Rise of a Merchant  Prince</em>, <em>Rage  of a Demon King</em> and <em>Shards of a Broken  Crown</em>. Heroic Fantasy is a crowded-enough field, but Feist stands  out in it for his sheer inventive power, the scope and range of his narratives,  the diversity of his characters and his thundering battle sequences. Start  reading here, and you may find yourself unable to stop until you have  followed the saga right up to date. --<em>Adam Roberts</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>A Darkness at Sethanon</em> completes the &quot;Riftworld saga&quot; which  started with Feist's <em>Magician</em>. When  Raymond Feist's enormous  novel was published, critics called it &quot;the best new fantasy concept in years&quot;,  and Feist has  refined and explored that concept over a dozen novels. His &quot;concept&quot; was to  bring together two  (and later, more) whole, intricately realised Fantasy worlds. Midkemia is a  Tolkienian realm, a  European-Medieval series of kingdoms in which magic is prominent, and  where men share the  earth with dwarves and elves. Feist's genius was inventing another sword  and sorcercy realm  based more closely on eastern models, the Empire of Tsuranuanni, as vast as  Ancient China, as  formalised and devoted to the arts of war as a samurai Japan. A magical rift  in time-space brings  these two worlds clashing together, and the young boy Pug and his soldier  friend Tomas are  thrown into the ensuing maelstrom of invasion and epic battle, before  embarking on a more  fundamental magical journey towards the very roots of evil itself. Feist's two  sequels to  <em>Magician</em>,  <em>Silverthorn</em> and  <em>A Darkness at  Sethanon </em> complete  the richly conceived &quot;Riftwar Saga&quot;, and Fiest has gone on to chronicle other  aspects of his  invented worlds. With Janny Wurts he wrote the &quot;Empire&quot; trilogy, which  charts the rise, through  the rigid patriarchy of the Empire of Tsuranuanni, of a remarkable female  heroine, a woman who  eventually reaches the heights of the imperial throne itself <em>Daughter of the  Empire</em>,  <em>Servant of the  Empire</em> and  <em>Mistress of  Empire</em>. More recently he has returned to the world of Medkemia,  and to his hero Pug, with the Serpentwar saga, beginning with <em>Shadow of a Dark  Queen</em> and continuing with <em>Rise of a Merchant  Prince</em>, <em>Rage  of a Demon King</em> and <em>Shards of a Broken  Crown</em>. Heroic Fantasy is a crowded-enough field, but Feist stands  out in it for his sheer inventive power, the scope and range of his narratives,  the diversity of his characters and his thundering battle sequences. Start  reading here, and you may find yourself unable to stop until you have  followed the saga right up to date. --<em>Adam Roberts</em>]]>
