Rage of a Demon King

By: Raymond E. Feist

Narrated by: Peter Joyce

The third novel in the besetselling Sepentwar series.

The ultimate darkness approaches…

As the Emerald Queen’s shadow lengthens once more across the land of the Midkemia, her forces stand ready to launch a devastating invasion. But come the battle’s dawn, the magician Pug, and his life-long friend Tomas, will discover that something far worse than the Queen’s sorcery is afoot. Swords, bows, wits and courage will no longer be enough to defeat the descending plague.

A foul and terrible thing has escaped a devoured world to feed on one consumed by chaos; an insatiable nightmare creature which seeks to own and corrupt the source of life itself.

When the final conflict is joined, reptile will stand against man and magician against demon; and those who battle for good must be victorious… or all is doomed.

Rage of a Demon King is the third book in the Serpentwar Saga. The fourth and concluding book in the quartet is Shards of a Broken Crown.

My thoughts on this story

I enjoyed the story. The characters are well rounded but you must read the previous books to truly understand the plot. Even though there is alot of war strategy it is not over whelming or tedious but constant with the need of the story. All in all a good continuation of a sequel from a brilliant start "Magication".

Swashbuckling High Fantasy

Solid, fun, swashbuckling high fantasy. Not a work of great literature but an entertaining tale with swords and sorcery.
