Doom of the Darksword (The Darksword Trilogy, Vol. 2)

i literally could not put this book down!! i started out with an undying love for dragonlance and was kind of skeptical about trying anything else. but if you pick up anything by margaret weis i guarantee its worth your time!! and this trilogy is no exception.

I had read Weis and Hickman's Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends and loved them both and that's why when I saw this trilogy, I decided to buy it. And I liked it as much as the Dragonlance series. The story was excellent and I really liked Joram and Saryon. Definitely worth buying.

The second installment of the popular Darksword novels takes Joram, Saryon, Mosiah, and Simpkin through an unexpected twisting and turning of events. Our party leaves the Sorcerer's camp for the city of Merilon, where Joram plans to seek his birthright. On the way, they meet Prince Garald of Sharakan, who takes the time to help Joram in a way no one has yet been able to. Merilon brings many hardships for the group; Saryan is suffering with internal conflict to the point he is constantly ill, while Mosiah feels out of place and is eager to leave the city. Joram is eager to seek his fortune, but falls in love in the midst of everything. Simpkin, of course, is doing what Simpkin does best -- being himself. Doom of the Darksword is an intriguing sequel, rife with action, suspense, and deception, including the amusing Illusion of a Thousand Mosiahs. A riveting climax is built through the event commerorating the Dead Prince and culminates in the unexpected Turning to Stone. Joram learns his true birthright and Saryan finally finds peace. Weis and Hickman have written another brilliant novel, one that touches the heart and leaves you begging for more.

I can't even begin to explain how great this book is. It is a terrific sequel to the first in the Darksword series. Without saying to much Joram comes out from under his illusion of having magic and he fulfils the first half of the Prophecy. A must read. I would recomend this book to anyone.

Amazing trilogy, to be the best I have seen! The Prince was a grand twist as well as the Duuk-Tarath{Pardon misspeling} The saga is worth all the tresures on earth and Trimhalli
