Update 2012: Received my degree in computer networking and devoting my full time and limited attention span to writing. Thanks to everyone who is making this dream a reality.
Book 6 had errors throughout and droned on with the main characters involved. This book was my least favorite. The girl in the story is a brat and becomes more of a brat as the book progresses. And Azerick becomes annoying in his pursuit to escape and whines for more chapters than is necessary.
Binge reading six of these is an epic job. I've seriously enjoyed reading them and this one has plenty of action. Ill be reading the final two pretty soon.
The Sorcerer's Abyss is book 6 in The Sorcerer's Path series. In the series we follow the adventures of Azerick from his home to the streets and so forth as his journey progresses even into death. The Abyss follows him into his death through which he becomes the possessor of the body of the demon lord of the 5th ring of the Abyss that originally possessed him. Throughout the book he tries to find a way to return to his home though he is repeatedly told that it is impossible to return from death.
The setting of the story is in the abyss when following Azerick and back in his orphanage when following his comrades. Though defined as a large infinite realm, the abyss lacks much description and imagery leaves an image similar to a barren desert, devoid of life. All-in-all it didn't stir much interest and even the castles seemed large but lacking. Azerick doesn't develop near as much in this book in comparison to the book's predecessors, in fact, he doesn't attempt to overcome surrounding conflicts and spends all his time trying to escape. He lacks much his previous reasoning and acts more naïve than any point in his past.
Though I didn't much appreciate the slow moving plot and lack of character development, I would still recommend the book so that you can move to the next to finish the series and find closure for the story.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Again a tiny bit better than the previous installments in the series (although the previous one might be better) but still some issues even though many have been resolved. Over the course of the series many many characters have been introduced and many many have just simply fallen out of notice without explanation. Problem is that many of those side characters have gotten their own side stories and now they've just been forgotten. My hope is that the authors solution won't be stuffing them all back in during the following novels because that wouldn't work.
Anyway... gonna keep reading this series since I've gone through majority already (mostly due to my compulsive need to know).
The story keeps getting interesting. The way the main characters grow makes it worth turning the pages to see how they overcame every obstacle in their way.
