Reviews

[Sarah Ehinger · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think I originally got book one and two of this series based on a list of best fantasy series ever. If my recollection is correct, the listing missed the mark in my opinion. I suppose if you are really into politics and philosophy in your fantasy series, this may be a great series, but I am not, so enough said.

"I see more in darkness than you can see in the light." A priest turned sorcerer is reborn as the ultimate creature of Evil. He will topple a throne and begin the destruction of the world, even as the crowns of two empires move inexorably toward launching an impossible war that neither can win. The King of Athadia, fearing a personal curse, tries to maintain peace. But when his Queen is abducted by the barbarian ruler of the East--and she welcomes the affront--armies gather on every border, and ships set sail on oceans of blood. The world is at war, and a great sorrowing vengeance, foretold long ago, comes to life in the darkest of times... The second great fantasy novel in the epic saga of The Fall of the First World!
