review 1: I’m a huge fan of Raymond E. Feist’s work, so it will come as no surprise that I really liked this book. It’s difficult for me to find the words to express just how much I enjoy his work. His books are so good that I must wait until the series is completely released so that I can read them one right after the other. The action, fighting, and drama are so high and intense that I can’t read one and wait until the next is released.The entertaining and knowledgeable Taredhel brothers Gulamendis, a Demon Master, and Laromendis a Conjurer, were essential to not only understanding about demon lore but also to learn how the Taredhel come to be so very different from the other Elves we are used to reading about on Midkemia.Amirantha, a warlock who is a summoner of demon... mores, is more than he appears to be. And because of this, he is both a contributor and a victim of the Demon Legion. He’s also got himself caught in a complicated romance. Every time that his and Sandreena’s, Knight-Adamant of the Order of the Shield of the Weak, paths cross she punches him in the face, knocking him to the ground.Pug’s mind is heavy with the price he must pay, to see all the ones that he loves die before him. With the aid of members of the Conclave like the multi-talented and highly secretive Jim Dasher and Father-Bishop Creegan of the Temple of Dala, they must find a way to interpret the vague and not very helpful insights given to him by the Oracle.Only by this group of potential enemies working together and gathering more and more information to answer the questions that keep mounting, will Midkemia be able to hold off the Dread Legion invading the last know habitable world.
review 2: Not as action packed as some of the previous in the Pug universe and he seems to have the characters tell the same story over and over again (Yes Amirantha, your mother was a witch, your brothers are insane, one of them is trying to kill you, and you know lots on demons) I found myself skim reading some parts. However the plot is very interesting and it defiantly feels like Feist is setting up for the final chapter of and epic adventure. less

Not a bad book.. Now I have to go back to the beginning (the first book) and start the series..

Can't not enjoy some Pug and Tomas, but Feist's become so formulaic it makes Eddings look good.

For some reason this starts to feel like a deja-vu.
