      The Emerald Queen's forces have come ashore and broken through Krondor as they make their way to the forgotten city of Sethanon. In the epic battle for Krondor, it's revealed that the Emerald Queen herself wasn't who Pug and his companions had thought she was, being merely a shell animated by the titular demon Lord.In the more mundane arena of the actual fighting Erik von Darkmoore and his special squad attempt to boost the assembling regiments supplied by the local lords so they would put up some defence against the still-overwhelming forces of the invaders and Roo tries to ensure the safety of the various families that fate has put into his hands. As has become standard in this series, the fighting is described in a fairly graphic fashion though justifiable in terms of the action being described. Although the final elements of the book seem to be fairly swiftly dealt with it must be remembered that there is a third book in this particular series to come...
    • 4/5
      It took me some time to get through this, though that was due to personal commitments preventing me from reading, mostly. I really enjoyed this book, like the previous two, and the ending left me keen for the fourth and final of this quartet. I look forward to reading!
    • 3/5
      Preparation and then battle of attrition across Krondor. Some philosophical consideration of what gods and reality are dragged a bit.

      More Feist Fun!
    • 3/5
      A fun book, but nothing transcendent about it. This is basically the climax of two books of buildup in the Serpentwar series: the long-feared massive army finally arrives for a colossal invasion.

      Though the army in question includes hundreds of thousands of people, almost none of them are actual characters. The plot in this book is not so much "man vs. man" but "man vs. nature", with the invading army as a faceless, implacable horde against which the heroes must simply resist. Feist justifies this approach by literally removing agency from the invaders: they're thralls to a demon, either literally through magic or indirectly through coercion.

      The struggle against overwhelming force is fun enough to read: the heroes have prepared for this for two and a half books before it arrives, and use both cleverness and determination to hold the day. But I can't help but feel that a massive war like this would have been more interesting portrayed as a struggle between two different groups of people, with their own motivations, even if one was more evil than the other. Feist did this in his initial book(s), "Magician", where the Tsurani were first introduced as faceless enemies but then humanized as rational people responding to real social, economic and political incentives. As it is, "Rage of a Demon King" is merely enjoyable, not transcendent.

      Complicating things further is that the bulk of the book — the months-long last stand — is ultimately trivial. The battle is settled in an epic clash between the demon and a group of wizards and warriors; the outcome of this fight determines the physical war we've spent so much time following. It's something of an anticlimax, and in this is a precursor to the far more disappointing sequel.

      Was het vorige boek [b:De macht van een koopmansprins|2932975|De macht van een koopmansprins (De Slangenoorlog, #2)|Raymond E. Feist|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1204549658s/2932975.jpg|1844901] voor mij niet echt een boek uit het fantasy-genre, dit boek duidelijk wel. Goed verhaal, met plotwendingen, magie, epische veldslagen en romantiek.

      Tot nog toe het beste boek uit deze reeks, niet alleen omdat de oorlog begint en het meer actie heeft, maar vooral omdat het niet langer op Ru is gericht. Dit verhaal focust zich op Erik en het gevecht en op de magiërs Puc, Macros, Miranda en Nakur die proberen uit te vinden hoe ze de wereld kunnen redden.
      We verliezen een paar belangrijke personages uit eerdere boeken en opnieuw krijgt het Koninkrijk een schop onder zijn kont, maar we komen ook meer te weten over de Goden en de Levenssteen uit eerdere verhalen om de overkoepelende plot van de serie te bevorderen.

      De karakter van Erik maakte een flinke groei door. Ru, tja... ben niet zo'n erge fan van zijn karakter, maar eindelijk kwam hij achter het bedrog van Sylvia. Ook de 'romantiek' in de boeken hoeft van mij niet zo. Gelukkig waren er de invasie en veldslagen, die mij beter lagen. Kon ze ook goed voor ogen zien.

      De strijd tegen de demonenkoning... op het eind bleek dat die, als wezen van vuur, verslagen kon worden door... zeewater. Okay, een flinke hoeveelheid water, maar toch..

      I didn't like the books of the Serpentwar Saga as much as the original trilogy, and don't actually remember much about them beyond the fact that I did enjoy reading them.
    • 5/5
      I can never decide if I like this book more or less than the second one in the series. One thing that has always impressed me about Feist is how he doesn't mind killing off main characters, or places, even before the end. It's hard to have read the Midkemia books from the beginning, and watch as the characters you've come to know and understand, disappear from the stories for forever. Of the places that you can envision in your minds eye... Part of me wishes that Arutha had still been alive for the war, because a small part of me thinks his wiley mind could have saved what even Duke James and Calis and Erik couldn't But part of me is glad that Arutha was long dead, because I don't know that he would have taken the loss of life and land the Kingdom faced any better than James did.In this third book in the Serpentwar Saga, the war from Novindus comes to the Kingdom of the Isles. Roo's hard earned money goes to finance it. The training that Erik's been put through comes into place as he leads the soldiers and tries to keep as many of them alive as possible. There is only so much they can do though, and at the end of the book, you realize just how much more the Kingdom of the Isles has to do to recover, and you wonder how they'll be able to do it without the strong characters that died in the fighting.This war has none of the elegance or honor that the Riftwar had at the siege of Castle Crydee, but the Kingdom men are good men, and fight against unbelievable odds once again, which, as always, is a good story.
    • 4/5
      The final book in the saga was a well rounded and action packed book. As always you get the two tiered effect of epic level characters dueling gods and demons and the mid range leaders down in the rank and files. I think it ended rather abruptly but it didnt take much away from the book.
    • 3/5
      This is the conclusion of the Serpentwar saga. I enjoyed the characters, but I didn't enjoy this trilogy as much as the previous. The resolution here is a bit mixed, the immediate threat is ended, but its obvious there's still something big planning trouble in the background. That's fairly normal for Feist books, but at this point I started to wonder when we'd ever get an idea of what's really behind all the problems, and when they'd get to fixing it.
