The Troy Game #3
Darkwitch Rising
DARKWITCH RISING is the third title in Sara Douglass's compelling Troy Game series, a riveting historical fantasy series of love and revenge set against the very fabric of time itself.
Britian. An ancient land. Most think they know its history. But few suspect and fewer still know the truth.
For back in the mists of time came Brutus, last of the Trojan kings, who was armed with the knowledge of how to construct a magical Labyrinth that could rival the might of the gods. He was drawn to this place by the alluring sorceress Genvissa and together they almost succeeded in creating the Labyrinth. But in the end they were thwarted by Brutus's wife Cornelia, who understood the danger to the land. Her actions however trapped them all into a endless cycle of death and rebirth until the magic of the Labyrinth is completed.
Ages pass. Time and again the players have come close to victory but each time there is a new wrinkle to stay the fulfillment of power.
The Now that these soul travelers arrive is a most unique one. The English are at war, not with a foreign power but amongst themselves; a mighty Civil War that threatens to destroy a nation. A great pestilence is upon the land and the newly restored Charles II sits upon the throne trying to hold chaos at bay...and he is one of the major players in this drama.
And he is not alone.

I didn't want to give the book one star, because I couldn't put it down. I didn't want to give it three stars, because that would imply I was okay with it. So I gave it two. Basically I have one major issue with this book, and his name is Asterion.
It feels like the author decided when she was writing this book, and not the others, "Oh you know what would be fun? What if I made the villain of the entire series the love interest instead. Seriously. I mean, I know Cornelia/Caela/Noah/Eaving has a history of falling in love with people who give bad boy syndrome a new name, but Asterion? Misunderstood? Remember how he killed her sons in the first book? (Brutus reborn even brings that up in the next book, and Asterion responded with, 'Yeah well you were a bad father. And this works. As a counter-argument. Cornelia reborn treats it like "Oh it's so annoying that my romance interests are fighting" despite being this mother goddess.) Remember in the second book where he is described as getting sexual pleasure from torturing a young boy? And in the first book when he murdered babies for fun? Yep, Asterion is definitely misunderstood.
Other than that, it was an excellent read. But that was a pretty big deal to me. I'm seeing a lot of Asterion/Noah shippers in the reviews, can one of you explain to me- just- Why?

I read this entire third book of The Troy Game series thinking that the series was a trilogy, and that this would conclude the story. I didn't figure out that I was missing a book until literally the last page (and then I cried, because I didn't have that one in the house and ready to read).
Half way through this book, and in most of these characters' third reborn lives, nearly everything shifted. Almost everything I though was the "obvious" way that threads would resolve was reformed into something else. Some were surprises to the characters, and some were deceptions by the characters that readers weren't let in on till well into the story. It was wonderful. It was compelling. It caused me great anguish to do anything in life other than read to find out what came next.
I've just started the fourth book, and I can't wait to find out what will happen. The author has herself a new fan, and I'm delighted to have found a new and completely wonderful author!

Book 3 of the Troy Games disappointed me. The first several hundred pages or so were only alright, but the latter of the book really just started to irk me. Maybe that's the point, I don't know.
Weyland/Asterion wasn't the same type of character that was menacing as he was in the previous books. It felt forced and gimmicky to me, like.. he wasn't evil, he was just an ass.
Cornelia / Noah wow. What a 180. The whole logic of mending wounds and suddenly she's in love with her nemesis because 'he had a bad childhood' kind of thing was just... I lost so much of the caring I had built up for the character. Asterion in his incarnated form KILLED her children when she was Cornelia and now she's in love with him to mend old wounds? That's just... Ugh.
I'm not sure if I'm going to read the fourth book because I read other reviews of it and it seems to carry on with things that I wasn't a fan of in this book.

Once again, I feel a bit disappointed about The Troy Game, volume 3. I had been very enthusiastic by the previous one, but then I endured most of this one, until one or two twists I hadn’t expected – hence the 3*.
What I disliked the most was the use and abuse of convenient explanations all along. Of course, our heroes deal with malevolence and sickness everywhere, but even in their “doom”, I found them pretty well treated.
For instance, nothing ever happens to Noah. It seems that everything she got, she deserved it in a way... Except for this devotion (I can't call it love) that she feels for Brutus. That, is clearly something she didn't deserve and I can't figure out why the author tortures her (and us) with what is supposed to be the love of her life... Then Brutus…. At first (and that was one of the things I really liked) I was tricked by the twist regarding Brutus and Coel. All he thinks is “great, I”ll be taking back what’s mine: Noah”. Dude, what is wrong with you ? 3 000 years and you can’t learn that you won’t own any woman ? First book, during the Bronze age, I thought “ok, he is a misogynist douchebag, but hey, Greeks were not known to grant women a particular role in their society”. Second book, I found a new Brutus-reborn, still troubled with his feelings (his wife, Swanne, Caela etc etc…) but wiser anyway. There… He was reborn well, he clearly had a role to play, and he's supposed to have a pretty good experience of Life, but all he does is complain and complain and goes finally back to his old habits, flaws and weaknesses : jealousy, lust for power, possessiveness, exclusivity, narrow-mind and so on. I found him this time most despicable.
As everything revolves around Noah and Brutus, the other characters are then unfairly developed.
It is ok to be surprised by a book; in fact, it is even a good thing. But when the surprise is so unexpected that you find it out of nowhere, it suddenly looks rather like a flaw than a quality.
Talking about out of nowhere side-stories, let’s talk about Coel and his role in this volume. Giving him more importance through the years, to finally ending where it ends (no spoiler), is a very good thing. But his new development, although incredibly powerful, doesn’t support the main plot. His abilities, and his new role, don’t really help Noah to figure out what she has to do. So, frankly, why that ? . Something else I found most disturbing : the fact that he frequently has sex with his own mother-reborn.
I know, I know; she and Ecub were reborn as young and desirable women. And I don’t mind them having those intimate circles (in fact I like the open-mind that these activities convey); just that, throughout the books, you find that, for each character, their past is the burden on their shoulders that gets heavier and heavier. This means that their past is, somehow, always a part of them. So how on Earth can he lay with his own mother ? The very basis of it makes me uncomfortable.
Let’s finally deal with Asterion. Poor Asterion. The development about him is what divides most my feelings : I adore what he becomes to Noah. I adore the depth of his personality, his thoughts and weakness, his wounds he must heal and how he does it. But… Why making him so loathsome in the first place ? I get it, he is the ultimate threat in books one, two, and even three. As much as I like what he becomes, as a character and to Noah (from something so twisted emerges something pure and beautiful, something both of them completely deserve), I’m not convinced it was a good way to bring up this plot twist.
I’m giving 3* because there were directions in the story I didn’t expect that were good, so basically I liked the damn book. But less than the second one, and now I really hope the last one will match my expectations.

Did you ever watch soap operas? You know how the storylines start out fun but after a while (in this case, by book three, this one) you wonder "are we really still on these plots?" Yup. That was my experience. I was getting ready to abandon the whole thing, when at about halfway through - the twist! Amping up the action and ensuring I stuck around. For another book.
The back half got seriously good. Lots of twists and turns, bringing everything to a boiling point. Now I absolutely must know how it all pans out.

I really am enjoying this whole Troy Game series. Darkwitch Rising has some really unexpected twists and turns to the story. It is set in the time of King Charles II of England (mid-1600s). The Troy Game has grown out of control. Cornelia is born as Noah, a simple preacher's daughter. Genvissa is born as Jane Orr, sister to Weyland Orr. This is particularly tortuous to her, but I'm not saying why because I don't want to spoil the story. It' s hard to say much without spoiling anything. So, I'm just going to say that you have to read this book if you are a Sara Douglass fan and have read the preceding two books in this series.
September 15, 2007
Definitely my favorite of the Troy series. Cornelia's character definitely improves during her third life, adding so much dimension to her character that she is solidified as my favorite. Everyone seems to be learning important lessons, and developing nicely. A good identity twist gives us a nice shock, though certainly not the biggest shock of this book. Still, I love the direction in which this is going!

In the third book of The Troy Game, we once again see all the old players, plus a few new ones that got caught in the game during book two. Cornelia and Genvissa make quite an astonishing discovery about themselves and their history, as do Brutus and Coel. The Troy Game itself even plays a new bigger role in all that happens.
A great addition to the story, it propels the characters forward in a journey with an as yet unclear ending.

This was probably my favorite of the Troy Game books as the characters seem to come to a realization of how the past impacts upon both the present and future. Weaving actual historical events, places and characters seamlessly into the story and imbuing it with an eerie otherworldliness, Douglass creates another page-turner.

Darkwitch Rising is the third book in The Troy Game series by Sara Douglass. Part of my 2019 reading challenge was to read an Australian author- well how do I narrow that down, there are so many great Aussie authors, but Ms. Douglass was one of the first Aussie authors whose work I fell in love with. I have devoured everything she had ever written and was devastated when she lost her battle with cancer back in 2011. Her books really stuck with me over time, and I don’t revisit them as often as I’d like. The last few months have been emotionally draining for me, and I really wanted/needed to lose myself in another world- so I chose to revisit some old favourites that have a comforting nostalgia associated with them. I couldn’t choose just one of her books, they are all so great, and quite a few of them are interconnected- so I chose to read them all.
I still love this series as much as I did the first time I read it. It is an epic fantasy interwoven with mythology, history, gods and goddesses, an evil Minotaur mysteriousness, fun, revenge, intrigue, sorcery, good vs evil, adventure, action, drama, magic, and so much more I won’t go into here so as not to spoil the surprises.
Ms. Douglass weaves her stories quite masterfully, crafting a truly believable and sumptuous world in which to set her story. Her attention to detail brings her world and story to life. This is such a complex and multi-layered story which Ms. Douglass choreographed brilliantly- there are multiple story threads woven through these books, two major ones playing out at the same tim-, one in the future, and one in the past. So engrossing!
The Troy Game Series Books are:
-Hades Daughter (Book One)
-God’s Concubine (Book Two)
-Darkwitch Rising (Book Three)
-Druid’s Sword (Book Four)
Epic fantasy done so very well!
Happy Reading!

This series is amazing but you do have to read them in order to understand what is happening in the book. Noah, Cael, Cornelia, Eaving is an extremely strong woman as are her sisters. Her feelings toward the Minotaur change in this book and Minotaur's change is for the better. Reincarnation, mystery and how all the characters come together again makes this an interesting read. I highly recommend this series to those who love to really get into the story lines.

March 28, 2022I have re-read this series a few times because I think it is worth the read, but I will never like Brutus and his blind mistrust of Cornelia. Not gonna give anything else up, so read the series. I recommend this read, but it does start slow and make you want to strangle some people, but the best reads make you feel that way.
July 13, 2018
so problematic idek where to begin. basically beauty and the beast (sara had a thing for this theme, obviously), but nowhere near as bad as threshold. not as good as the second book but still couldn’t put it down. 2.5 stars but rounded up because it’s better than 2.
September 19, 2020
The series is definitely improving. I'm glad I read beyond that first book where there were no characters and only caricatures. The reincarnated are continuiously evolving and becoming more complex.
January 6, 2021
I felt this was a let down based on the strength of the second book
February 16, 2025
Yeah…no. This series could’ve been a duology
September 20, 2012
If I had to give this review a title it would be "quiescent". OMG does Sara Douglass use that word about 20 times. I counted it 3 times on one page at one point! More gratuitous sex scenes (especially in the beginning with Charles and Eaving's Sisters) and a lot more violence. This book, I feel, really kind of lost the plot. It gets a lot more magical - which is fine, but it's the characters that really let me down. I know Douglass's point was to show how much they are growing and changing; it seems like everyone ends up getting a Supernatural role to play. But I feel like she took too long to get there, and I'm still left confused about where this story is going. For two books we're told one thing and now suddenly everything is changing (some of it for the worse IMO). I think this series worked better when it felt almost like an alternative history, but with enough realism in it to feel like we're reading about the real London.
Read
August 4, 2011While I enjoy this series very much, I had trouble with the third installment; the first two novels in the series were wonderful examples of high fantasy within a rich and detailed historical setting. However, Darkwitch Rising almost seemed too convoluted, and had too many "twists" in it. I was distracted by the unnecessary plot twists, and I think the novel could have been wrapped up quite a bit sooner than the 725 pages allowed.
Even though this novel fell a bit short of its predecessors, I still feel the need to finish the series- I'll be taking a short break before I read the fourth and final novel.
I genuinely love the idea behind this series, but this was not my favorite. Towards the end of the novel I became quite intrigued. Unfortunately, the first 500 pages did very little to keep my interest.

Definitely the best book in this series, I'm not giving this 5 stars simply because
Everybody stops being terrible in this one. Sure, Brutus still suffers from stupid jealousy and Genvissa/Jane and Cornelia/Noah will never be bosom buddies, but now they all fight for the land. Basically. Weyland/Asterion becomes a major player here in a way which is both unexpected and cliched. There's a different reveal towards the end which will have the reader flipping back through the previous 7/8 of the book to try and pick up on any clues they missed. And Noah gives birth to Catling, which is a fairly major development in the overall arc of the series.

This third installment in Douglass' 'Troy Game' series had a lot of potential initially, but went downhill about halfway through. This time around, the events surrounding Cornelia-reborn, Brutus-reborn, and their "entourage" take place around the court of Charles II of England. Reading the first two books in the series (starting with Hades' Daughter) is a must, as the story, spanning over 1,000 years, is quite complicated. Despite my mild disappointment, I will still read the final book to achieve completion.
As do the others, this book suffers from cheesy cover art.

Extremely confusing... if you haven't read the first two books in a while (which was my case). Complicated and intricate plot makes this book grab - and hold - one's attention. Not something to read on the fly; you have to be at the top of you're reading game to read this entire series, let alone this book.

This book was about reconciliation which is fine, but I guess not as exciting as fighting. However, I enjoyed the very end of the book and I did enjoy seeing how the characters grew. But overall, not much conflict, I felt. Wish I had the patience to go back and read through the 1939 sections of the previous books with the lens of what I now know.
July 10, 2008
The story took an interesting turn in this book, revealing new sides and depths to characters. The geography of London is used really well, making me want to explore it.
Overall, it kept me reading far too late at night!

I didn't think I would like this series as it was a truly alternate history sci-fi (each book is based on a particular time in British history), but I ended up loving it. I can't go into much more detail without giving away spoilers.
January 11, 2013
this by far is my favorite book in the series. To begin with its amazing how the daily life of the British people in that age is being described to the last detail. the plot becomes more complex and magic enterwines with magic. Even better is how the characters grow and become better inside and out
June 23, 2009
Another really good series. I enjoy the premise of the same personalities coming back in different time periods to do it again because they can't get it right.
May 23, 2011
It was a push to finish. I wouldn't rec it, not really sure I'm even going to finish the series at this point.
July 18, 2011
All her books are meticulously researched and she is able to bring the characters to life - our life. Great stuff.
December 8, 2012
This series just gets better and better!
I can't wait to read the next book but at the same time I can as it's the last of Sara's books that I have left to read :(

Time has moved on but the characters are reborn. They take place during the 1600's.
