Summary

The adventure concludes with the triumphant finale in the Riftwar Saga. Raymond E. Feist is an internationally best-selling author.

The battle may be over, but war is coming… The Kingdom forces may have won the first conflict but the enemy has a strong grip on Midkemia and invasion now seems inevitable.

Arutha travels north to confront the Dark Elves, but without help, Pug knows that Arutha's forces face slaughter. With Tomas he must scour the world - and beyond - to find the one person with enough power to give them a chance. If they fail, Midkemia will be the first of many worlds to fall to a madman with the power to dominate death itself…

A Darkness at Sethanon concludes Raymond E. Feist's bestselling Riftwar Saga.

Dan & Dave must read

This could be the new Game of Thrones or at least an epic movie
Peter Joyce as narrator is wonderful, the best I’ve heard on Audible

Awesomeness!

Was a great book have both audiobook and hard back book. Great writing and a hard book to put down.

Like the way Peter Joyce put on also rats of voices.

Would recommend this book to all but make sure you start with the right book in the series otherwise you will find it hard to keep up to date with what's happening and what has happened in the past.

Gave it 5 stars because I couldn't give it 6.

Performance and story that I would happily give more than five stars. Riftwar is best trilogy ever.

Great series

I was introduced to the first book by a book shop employee, he stated I would love the book but may struggle with other books in the series. And to read I did, but since coming to audible I gave them another go.

I am happy to say I have loved the series so far and will keep going until I can not go further.

I have fallen in love with Raymond E. Feist’s books and recommend all the series and especially as an audiobook.

Peter Joyce has most definitely brought the books to life and I thank him for his hard work.

I will finish with ‘I can’t wait to start the next’

Brilliant performance

An average end to an enjoyable trilogy. The first book, The Magician, is certainly the highlight. I say that because Silverthorn was shortlived, and Darkness at Sethanon - this book - does well to establish more about the story behind the story, only to rush the ending in a busy and confusing manner.

Often it's left to the 'next line' from a character to explain what is happening, which can make it frustrating.

It's certainly not bad, all of my comments are in fact relative only to the other two books.

Plus, Peter Joyce's narration is sublime.

a fast paced if slow ending

as the final book in the series it's one you want to devour in big bites. the pace is almost perfect in the mixing of the key characters..
but if Pug has to train his powers why not Tomas it seems weird that Tomas does not train in using his powers.
