At the Gates of Darkness: Book Two of the Demonwar Saga Audiobook

" While I did enjoy At The Gates Of Darkness, I must also admit I was a bit disappointed. Rides A Dread Legion set up a potential epic three sided conflict between The Star Elves, Midkemia and The Demon Hordes but, it never materializes. In fact if it weren't for the two outcast brothers helping Pug and company and a few mentions here and there, The Star Elves are all but, left out after being set up so predominately in the last book. What we get is entertaining as Pug and The COnclave Of Shadows are trying to stop the demons and their human ally, the mad sorcerer Belasco from a full scale invasion. But, the actual events are on a much smaller scale then what the set-up in book #1 appeared to be indicating and one feels a bit cheated. There is plenty of adventure and peril but, the confrontation we're waiting for erupts only in the final chapters and then is dealt with just as quickly. Raymond E. Feist is a master storyteller so, I was not bored and I was surely entertained, it's just that the first book delightfully sets up such an epic confrontation and what we get would serve to be a minor conflict in the middle of one of his earlier books. A letdown but, still a fairly entertaining one. "

" Great entry into Fesit's decades-long epic Riftwar saga. I think I somehow skipped "Rides A Dread Legion", but wasn't confused much, so he did a great job of giving back story but managing to make it feel self-contained. The titles to his books are starting to sound a bit like emo-metal song titles, though. "

" I've read all of Feist's books and enjoy each one, some are better than other but all are enjoyable. "

" Sequel to Rides a Dread Legion. Lives up to Feist's reputation though manages to be a little short. "

" Summed up by "Meh". Could do better..... "

" I made the mistake of picking up this one before reading the first part. Nothing in the style or the story to make me want to read another. A let-down. "

" Fantastic! Exciting! Could not put it down... "

" The adventure of Pug is starting to sound like Stargates...but still, its a good read. "

" exciting but a bit short (not even 300 pages)... clearly a setup for the Chaoswar series. "

" Pretty good, ending was a bit quick and anti climatic. "

" Read quite quickly over a week. Good storytelling with familiar characters. A little on the short side. Still leaves me wanting more. "

" From Magician's Apprentice to this book Pug's character development is astounding. This is a solid book and worth reading. "

" Okay--excellent illustration of WHY I like Feist. The first book zoomed along, setting up plot. Second book slows up, makes you care about the various characters. By the time I got to the end, I couldn't wait for the next series to come out. "

" A new Feist novel. A continuation of the world story that is recipesque by now but well done and devoured quickly. "

" I won this book! Can't wait to receive it!! "

" The book didn't keep me interested enough, it was kind of boring. Didn't seem to be any different than other books of its type, I would of liked a little more action and suspense. "

" Summed up by "Meh". Could do better..... "

" Relay getting into the swing of things. Other planets and magic very cool. "

" captivating at the start, disappointing near the end, storyline isn't wrapped up "

" The adventure of Pug is starting to sound like Stargates...but still, its a good read. "

" Great book, I love to read the next series! "

" Good continuation of the overall series... "

" Although this is not a genre I particularly like, the story was well writen and Feist really knows how to make a character come to life! "

" Hmmm... not quite up to his usual standards I thought, a bit more YA-ish than usual. Big fan though, I'll be waiting for the next one. "

" Won in a good-reads giveaway! "

" Reminicent of the fantasy novels I used to flip through as a child, while I was hiding in the library. It's pulpy and makes me want to roll some dice. "
