About this ebook
The master fantasist’s thrilling conclusion to The Darkwar Saga
To save the future of both empires, the powerful sorcerer Pug and the Conclave of Shadows have journeyed into the darkest of terrain: the Dasati home world. There, traveling undercover among the bloodthirsty and ruthless Dasati, they have encountered Bek, a disturbing young stranger whose secrets may prove more important than Pug knows.
And back in the realm of Midkemia, as the young warriors Tad, Zane, and their friends protect the Kingdom from raiders, Miranda finds herself a prisoner of the Dasati, and, even more ominously, of Pug’s nemesis, the evil sorcerer Leso Varen. And Pug finds himself allied with a friend thought long dead, a friend whose remarkable powers will be sorely needed in the battle to come . . . a battle that will bring them all together in one great struggle for the future and very soul of Midkemia.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A somewhat sudden end to the novel for me, continuing to be quite grand and weird in equal measure.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Big fan, have read everything of his... as most fantaasy writers move along in their world, they tend to get further and further away from standard fantasy and explore other avenues within the fantasy setting... Feist's books, while still outstanding fantasy, have come to be virtual religious/philosophical treatises! Fun stuff, lets you do some light good v evil thinking but enjoy all the swords and spells you can handle.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book. Its still not quite up to the early days of the Riftwar novels, but close. I was kind of hoping for a return of Tal Hawkins, but no such luck, he's safely retired. Pug, Magnus, Nakor, Miranda and the wizards dominate this book as they try to prevent another plot to attack Midkemia and Kelewan from other planes of existence. This one is a bit more 'end of the world' than typical Feist, very much so, and in that sense it sort of falls short, but it is still enjoyable.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I could not get into this book, and didn't finish it. Granted, I haven't read the previous titles in the series - perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I had. I read Magician many years ago and enjoyed that.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This final book in the Darkwar Saga is full of adventure and answers, as the events that began all the way back in Magician come to something of a close. The storyline that includes Tad, Zane, Kaspar, and the other non-superpowered characters continues to be filler, as in previous books, but overall Wrath of a Mad God moves forward at breakneck speed.Side note: since the "truth" behind all the events occurring on Midkemia, Kelewan, the Dasati worlds, etc. keeps changing with each new trilogy, the human stories in these books are seeming more and more insignificant. Whichever cause the characters believe they are fighting for, the fact remains that no matter what they do, millions are being drawn into, and ground up by, the struggle of characters that are now near god-like in power. Hopefully with the Demonwar trilogy, this trend does not simply continue, but Feist finds a way to bring it back down to a manageable level. Otherwise, I expect to see magicians throwing planets at each other soon. Oh wait, didn't that happen already?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5At one time Ray Feist had turned the tables on fantasy and made it refreshing, something we wanted to read with great anticipation. We had coming of age stories and quests, and wars of good and evil, but Magician, so long ago, was a change, and it had depth. This evil that our heroes fight, not on their own world, and then as the series was further developed we find that the enemy are not as bad as we thought. So where does that leave Feist? How about something new and different. In Feist's case something new is something he is rehashing over and over.Evil is bigger than the world that he has his characters, some of whom his affection for is shown throughout the work. He is so tied to these characters that it appears that he can not find something new to write about so we return to Midkemia and Kelewan again and again. And that something new is now old. The evil is big, bigger than the world, it is several worlds in scope. And only our heroes from Midkemia are capable of stopping it, and being targeted by it. It is an evil that will make little sense and need many pages to explain, so that you would rather sleep instead of care. When the author returns to the tales of the characters we are fond of, as they handle the aspects of this evil that they can understand, then we are engaged again.So do you want to read it? If you are invested in Midkemia, then it is passable. If you are determined to find a strong fantasy, this would not be the place to start. It is time for Feist to move on. These characters need to retire.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The final book in the Darkwar saga. There are some interesting developments in this, and I did enjoy it, just not as much as many of his earlier books. If you're new to Feist, start with 'Magician'.
