Fantasy Swords and Sorcery Novel (part 5)

Forrester's imaginative world of magic, sorcerers, dragons, powerful evil fiends, orders of insane wizards, powerful gods and goddesses, war and necromancers barely manages to survive the conflict. There is evil, but also "not so evil" forces in battle for domination, not just of this world, but all the worlds of the multiverse.

This is a good series, a little long winded in places but it does hold your interest. The characters a great and well thoughtout. Theplot thickens as the story goes on. Well worth your time to read this series. Great reading everyone.

I have really liked the series up until this point. Simply put, this book devolved into a teenage soap opera. That was my biggest beef with it. I couldn't even finish it. In addition, I found that because there is so much time between book releases, I have forgotten a lot of little interactions and new characters from previous books, that starting this book was almost confusing.

When you get to the last page of a book and are surprised you have reached the end of the book it must mean you were engrossed in the story.
