The Fall of Magic

The Penhaligon Trilogy #3

by D.J. Heinrich

A sinister mage has unleashed the power of an ancient artifact on the land, an artifact that drains the world of magic. Worse yet, the evil armies that pour through the artifact may bring about the end of the Castle of the Three Suns. In a final, desperate gambit to turn back the tide of doom, the Penhaligon knights ride far and wide to defend all of Mystara from this magic menace.

Meanwhile, Johauna Menhir sets out on an impossible quest to foil the malevolent mage. She seeks the to enter the artifact and, with her immortal-forged sword Peace, slay the wizard Auroch.

-Remate un tanto raro, a tenor de lo ofrecido anteriormente, a la trilogía.-

Género. Narrativa Fantástica.

Lo que nos cuenta. Johauna llega a un extraño y mágico lugar donde consigue más preguntas que respuestas pero, al menos, ve como la rota espada Vencedrag es forjada de nuevo, de forma algo distinta, pasando a ser la espada Paz. Cuando consigue volver a Penhaligon, las cosas están muy revueltas y no consigue un apoyo claro en su propuesta de ir al encuentro de las extrañas criaturas que están llegando a este mundo, ahora que todavía no son demasiadas. Tercer y último volumen de la trilogía Penhaligon.

Con mucha pena debo decir que, luego de años de buscarlo, este libro me decepcionó. Creo que, princcipalmente, el autor no ha sabido cómo cerrar las tramas sueltas de los personajes. El periplo de Flinn como inmortal ha sido una de las cosas más aburridas y sin sentido de la historia. De igual manera, el final de cada uno de los personajes deja mucho que desear tanto en los que se supo qué les pasó como de tantos de los que no tuvimos idea salvo presumir que murieron. Una pena para un libro que habla de la maravillosa Mystara... deuda grande del autor. Ya andaba medio raro la historia luego de la muerte del dragón. El villano heredero Terryl Uro, muy poco desarrollado y muchos personajes del grupo desaparecen sin más ¿Qué habrá pasado con los personajes de Penhaligon? No lo sabremos, solo podemos presumir que murieron...

Ok first lower rating than book two.
In part I think since it had so much promise.

Not a bad story full of peril and danger.
One thing against it, like so many stories.
Instead of being able to properly finish things.
Was a quick wrap up.
Paragraphs to relay oh this happened.
This group had this go on.

One group was introduced long enough to get your interest.
Especially felt more would be done with the Elf maiden.
Then quick nope quick finish with all of them.
No more detail as not wanting to spoil it.

Just kind of the tale, you wish things had been finished differently.
In so many ways.
Still if you like the style of genre.
You may enjoy this trilogy.

I liked it, felt good when it ended. Sort of got lost a bit with the magic stuff and the "abation" and trying to understand it. Reread a few chapters, which are short enough to do so, so I could get a better image of what was happening. On to the next trilogy.

Nice trilogy, but the ending felt a little rushed. I would have liked to have had more interaction between the characters at the end, and more story.

The first half of the book is a confused mess but goddamn, the second half goes hard; a really intense ending to a trilogy that just never has a consistent tone

[JP · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book was really good, loved the ending.

[NightAuditMan · Rating 4 out of 5]

The final Chapter in this engrossing Series. I still have all 3 books and read them occasionally. It's still good fantasy.

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

The ending didn't have enough detail and the last battle was slightly glossed over. Not the most satisfying end.
