About this listen

The conclusion of the bestselling Demon War series, which began with Rides a Dread Legion.

Recent events have devastated the Conclave of Shadows; the discovery of the Demon horde on the heels of the taredhel invasion of Midkemia, the threat of the star elves themselves, and the terrible personal cost paid by Pug and his family.

But grieving must wait. At a deserted fortress in the Valley of Lost Men, the Conclave’s agents witness horror beyond their imagination, orchestrated by a familiar enemy. But Belasco's motives are as yet unclear. The Conclave must regroup and discover the true meaning behind the chaos seeded by the evil magician if they are ever to find a way to stop the destruction of Triagia before the demon horde even arrives.

Great story. Excellent narration(most of the time - there were a couple of mispronounced words here and there). Love the effects on the voice near the end

Excellent

Once again Raymond Feist gives us a powerful tale of magic, war and heroics. A vivid story to become lost in, to enjoy and to get the heart racing. Simply terrific. Fabulous reading by Peter Joyce!

Terrific

for the most part it was a great, not as exciting as some of Feist other work, I didn't particularly enjoy Sandrinas story line at all it was boring.
I did enjoy the story of the Taredhel but thought it could've focused more on that society this could've been trilogy about a war with Demons and elf aircracft carrier's.

really good book..

Almost back to the high standards of the earlier series but the choice to change Tomas' voice is so horribly wrong it takes me right out of the story.

Almost return to form for Peter

I enjoyed this book but felt as though some of the arcs dragged out a bit too long, overall though worth a read for the saga.

good conclusion to the demon war

the number one sense you get with fantasy is that your imagination can conjure amazing scenes. However when there is a narrator, in your endeavor to keep up with the story your imagination can't keep up. I did find as I got through the book that it became better but not to the point where you enjoy it as much as reading it yourself.
I'll have to go back and read this one myself to justify another rating.

fantasy is difficult in an audio format.
