Product Description
From Kirkus Reviews
Feist's fantasy saga continues (Shadow of a Dark Queen, 1994; Rise of the Merchant Prince, 1995) as the folk of Midkemia, already battling the snaky Saaur and their Emerald Queen, face an invasion of hungry demons seeking new wellsprings of toothsome lifeforce for their insatiable leader, Great Maarg. Returning to the fray are the familiar magicians Pug, Miranda, and Macros, along with soldiers Erik von Darkmoor and his sidekick, Roo Avery--and they will still need help from their former enemies, the Black Robes of Kelewan. There's probably a kitchen sink in here somewhere, too. Somehow, Feist always manages to wring out another plot twist or scrape together a new and improved gaggle of bad guys to keep the stew bubbling; the real puzzle is how the fans tolerate his graceless, often downright inept prose and limping dialogue.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best series ever!!,
By Rylin "Rylin" (Edmonds, Wa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rage Of A Demon King (Mass Market Paperback)
I for one believe the Serpent War series, all 4 books, is perhaps one of the MOST! entertaining series of books I have yet read. In fact, I have reread them more than almost any other in my extensive collection. I like the way his characters evolve and don't stay as they were in the beginning. That's the way life is. I loved Roo in the Rise of a Merchant King and the battles in Rage of a Demon King, when they finally reach the shore "Bigger just makes em easier to hit". So many memorable quotes and exciting strategies. Couldn't put it down. Another series which I truely enjoyed, is The Morcyth Saga by newcomer Brian S. Pratt. Exciting, thrilling, and logically done. Excellent story telling. If you haven't tried it, read The Unsuspecting Mage and you'll see what I mean.

LOVED IT!!,
By General Pete (SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rage Of A Demon King (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is about 1 million times better than "Rise of a Merchent Prince" a book that I little actually dislike but will not re-read agian either. In this book preety much everything pays off from the first two books we have a lot of conflict on all fronts and while some of it doesn't get wrapped up smothly it all comes to more than a satisfactory conclusion. At a point this book is just one drawn out slugging match with the forces of the Emerald Queen. Everyone who has possibly even remotly been in a Feist serise of books has a part to play and for the most part this works out really well. My favorite sequence in the whole book is the conversation between Duke James and the leader of the Thives Guild. This is a book that I will gladly rwead agian. Overall-Took a while to get going but in the end it packs quite a punch.

Danger Adventure and Much More!,

This review is from: Rage Of A Demon King (Mass Market Paperback)
Just when you think things are going to be ok. Feist launches into another war which leads to the destruction of most of the kingdom. From the Lizard Men to the Serpent Priests Feist doesn't disappoint. Once you pick up this book you can't put it down. Another Feist 5 +++ star book.
