My general review of the Wayfarer Redemption series:
A lot of prophecy-based fantasy I've read revolves around good overcoming evil, usually with relatively little in the way of serious struggle or loss. The Wayfarer Redemption series blows that approach out of the water.
These books are gritty, gruesome, graphic, intense and filled with content that will keep your blood stirred. The good guys fall short of grace, the bad guys are misunderstood and the most redeemable, pu More...

The second installment of this trilogy is a slight imrpovement on the first. In this book, Sara Douglass focusses more on story development than the shock value of Sinner, although she continues to pursue the uncomfortabe incest route.
I also felt that Pilgrim, like Sinner, was very contrived. Douglass sets up scenarios quite well, but when asking herself 'why?' these scenarios occur, it seems she hastily answers 'just because!' without giving any proper resolution to what she chooses to More...

This is the start of the last part of the Axis series, it didn't roll nearly as well as the first three.

So far this isn't as good as her first series, and it's much more confusing than the first book in this series (Sinner).
Overall, it's 10 times better than Hades Daughter so I'm going to finish it.

Updated - just finished the book. It's eventually pulls you in. I'm now looking forward to the final book in the series.

OK, I figured out what mostly doesn't work for me about what's going on in this series.
The series was presented as fantasy, but then in the last book there were hints of science fiction. In this story the science-y bits get stronger, and just don't work for me. Then there's the strong dose of "everything is fated to happen" added in. The whole thing just gets more unbelievable as the chapters move on.
And, y'know, there's still a lot of whiners.

There was quite a bit of set-up in this book, but I found myself racing through it all the same. I think this world came alive for me in this book and the last - more so than in the original trilogy. The prodigal son redeeming himself really is quite an amazing story, and I anxiously look forward to the next book.

What a great book :) I can not wait to read Crusader to see how this saga ends

Getting a little better, although there's still no doubt that the "good guys" will win. As always, the back story for the world building is excellent. The "battle" scenes are pathetic and there is very little character development outside of the one main character, Drago. I still can't understand why someone hasn't just told Axis to shut up and stop being an idiot. An easy fantasy for those who like black and white worlds.

Tough read I think. Quite gross with the demons traversing the world... but nevertheless couldn't put it down, still want to see good win somehow so I will continue this series with the final book. I do believe after having read these two in this series, I am enjoying the first set of three more than the last set of three. More to add after Crusader..

The plot thickens (but with Douglas this is inevitable). Once again a lush fantasy novel with twists and turns of the plot, following many different characters. Wolfstar finally gets what was coming to him as he is repeatedly raped by male demons, it seems Douglas knows how to spin a good bit of revenge.

This book was probably the most gory of the books I've read by her. It fit the plot, but was hard to read in places. I usually finish her books thinking "that was all right", but then I just keep reading them.

This trilogy is also very good, but it is a lot more gory and nasty. Still, it is a very intriguing story and the love matches are odd but satisfying.

This book has to have some of the most disturbing imagery in it. Such sadness overwhelms the book that it is difficult to read but still enjoyable.
