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

I finally have almost all the books put out by Raymond Feist. It is fun to read and critique them with my co-worker. His wife loves that he has somebody to discuss the books with. I enjoy the writing, but sometimes the violence is a bit much. But, of course, it has not stopped me from ordering additional books via Amazon. Good reading, good savings, good service: What more could a person ask for?

i have read almost all of feists book and enjoyed all of them. this not as good as most of his others hence the 4 stars instead of 5. having said that it is still a good book continuing the story of Pug and Thomas and their fight against evil. the story seems to be getting a little long in the tooth but i notice that the next one in the series is in the book stores so i will be watching to see when it come to Kindle regardless. long in the tooth or not Feist is still one of the best story tellers there is.

I can hardly remember a time when I didn't read and enjoy Feist and his worlds. Always good, always interesting and you like his characters. You can't go wrong reading it if he wrote it.

had some books damaged so ordered replacements; this is a good series to read and re-read

I have read every Feist book published. I would say I love probably the first 15. The last couple of series have been a bit of a decline. I don't think his writing is bad, I enjoy his style still. I also enjoy visiting characters that I have been reading about for 20 years. The problem with the last few series is that he is covering the same theme over and over. First you had the Tsurani invasion, then the Dark Elves, then the Emerald Queens army, then the Dasati, and this book about demons invading. All the books then have Pug leading the way to stop the invasions. I really felt like Rides a Dread Legion and this one could have been combined into one book. I also thought the last series could have been shaved to two. Feist is wrapping up his Rift stories with the final trilogy The Chaoswar. I am sure it will involve another invasion...maybe more with the demons, or the Star Elves or both. Either way it will wrap up the whole thing and for that I will be glad he will end it on his own terms and not continue to write declining stories in a universe I love. This isn't a bad novel, it is just very familiar ground.

An interesting read that deepens the demon mystery. An exciting read for any fantasy reading. I will definitely finish the series.

While this book finished a battle and challenges, it really seems just the prelude for the final trilogy. Don’t get be wrong - I love it - but it leaves you knowing the real war awaits. I think it is a worthy launchpad to the final trilogy of the Cycle.

If you like Feist's work you will love it. But more mportant, once you start reading it, you will finish it quickly. Alas it is not a long book, should be longer.

It was a great read, loved following the life of a demon

Again necessary for the history of the saga but it gets kind of repetitive and I wonder where all this is going or maybe its just for people who love battle scenes with demons!!

Love this book, Feist is really great at world building

Spannend und unterhaltsam geschrieben.

Part of the magician series. Reading the series is a must
