Into a Dark Realm The Darkwar Saga Book 2 Raymond E Feist 9780060792800 Books

Into a Dark Realm is yet another foray into the lives of the residents of Midkemia, but in a lot of ways, this novel brought s something completely different. First, the story. Virtually no new characters are introduced, and the few that are are powerful beings of a new people -- the Dasati -- from a whole other dimension. I found this addition to be a welcome one as Feist added a whole new level of expansion to the already vast world he had created.

But at the same time, I found the lack of significant character introduction to be disappointing. He continued to fold in Pug's three adopted grandsons as more integral parts of the story, but their relatively benign adventures seemed to pale in comparison to the enormity of other storylines, and as such, they are difficult to get into.

The book continues to be written with Feist's classic flare for prose, although he made a marked change. Gone are sprawling chapters that focus on one storyline at a time. They are instead replaced with a rapid fire switching from one storyline to the next, often several times in a single 15 or so page chapter. This serves as both a positive and a negative. It certainly keeps the pages turning as everything is so...digestable for lack of a better word. But it also becomes almost a distraction from getting too engrossed in any of the tales. You start to, and before you can, you're switching gears. All in all, I hope this is a trend that stops.

All in all, the facinating reveal of a new people in the Dasati is more than enough to make this a worthwhile read. Feist's work still has taken a step back from his original works, but they still stand as thoroughly enjoyable reads that I would absolutely recommend for any fan of any of his work.

Into a Dark Realm The Darkwar Saga Book 2 Raymond E Feist 9780060792800 Books Reviews

The Magician Pug, his family and friends continue in their fight to allow both worlds to survie free and not part of the dark realm. The story is well written and continues the saga of Pug over a very long life time and his war with the dark power which is trying to subvert both worlds in which Pug has a stake. Some friends and people, of course, will no longer been seen. At least it seems so, as they are eliminated by the dark power. Its tough fighting a god like force when you are mearly mortal, or near mortal. Pug also must face the time when all his family will pass on to the wheel and leave him behind and alone. But in order to stop this force he must face that reality and move forward in his fight.
This is the second novel in the Dark Realm trilogy and after having read the first, I HAD to get the second novel. It follows all the same characters and Feist is a master of both plot pace and character development. I might upgrade this novel series to GREAT once I have read all three. Definitely if you have never read Raymonde Feist and you are a science / fantasy fiction fan, you will enjoy discovering one of the top writers in his field.
Okay, okay ... let me explain the title of this review, as well as the 5 stars. I've been a fan of Raymond Feist's work since the day I first picked up Magician years back. I very much enjoy the simple, yet entertaining, dialogue in his books, as well as his ability to generate a lot of mileage out of relatively limited archetypes (like 'the impish wizard', 'the benevolent superhero', etc). I even applaud him for being the first to make a quality translation of his fantasy world to computer game form, with the terrific Betrayal at Krondor. But despite my admiration for him, from time to time his books have a kind of "rushed" feel to them, as if he was just getting a book out the door, rather than telling a story.

I had little hope for this most recent series, as I found the Talon of Silverhawk series a little below average. But I must say, from the time he first introduced the concept of the Dasati, I was intrigued ... and this book really does an excellent job of introducing a completely original "threat to all civilization" in the form of the Dasati - something I didn't think was possible in modern fantasy. His chapters on the Dasati lordlings, and his sections comparing his training to the "training" of Jommy, Zane and Tad are very interesting, and I expect a big payoff in the next book.

All in all, this is a very fast paced, and very interesting, second book. By immersing the reader in the alien culture, and providing an understanding of why the Dasati are so unrelentingly evil, it provides an excellent break from his usual nameless, faceless hordes of evil. All in all, I much prefer Feist's stories when he invests energy and backstory into his antagonists (like Kelewan and the Dasati), as opposed to the faceless / unreasoning hordes of the Sauur or the Demon realm.

Overall, if you've enjoyed Feist's work in the past, this is a worthy - even very worthy - purchase. I can't wait for the conclusion.
I had previously been buying into virtually all Raymond Feist books. Unfortunately the books he co-authored (exception being those with Janny Wurts) have had none of what I had come to expect from his previous books. I have bought more than a few of them not catching on for a while what was wrong with those books. Virtually all of the books that were not his solo work have been left unread. I have never been able to get into the book enough by reading the first few chapters to be able to commit to reading the entirety of those books.

The books he co-authored with Janny Wurts are wonderful. But all of the others are very disappointing. If I could return all of those books I would in a heart beat.

This book, while not ground breaking, at least brings us back into the more familiar feel of his previous books. Stories more about the characters than about the events. When the books suddenly become about war tactics as the co-authored books tend to lean then they lose the character that attracted me to the series of books in the first place.

I want to see stories about people and their interactions. This book doesn't disappoint even if it could be better.
