About this ebook

“Undeniably riveting.”

—Booklist

 

The terrible Emerald Queen is vanquished…but the war in Midkemia is not yet won, as the remarkable Raymond E. Feist concludes his magnificent Serpentwar Saga with Shards of a Broken Crown—a spellbinding tale of magic, conflict, and treachery that sees the rise of a new threat from the ashes of defeat, an evil poised to strike mercilessly at realm triumphant but weakened by war. This is epic fantasy adventure at its finest—a classic that stands tall alongside the best works of Terry Goodkind, George R. R. Martin, Terry Brooks and other acclaimed fantasists. Feist once again works his breathtaking magic in Shards of a Broken Crown, and, as always, he “brings a new world alive” (Portland Oregonian).

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed the conclusion to this saga quite a bit! I was so excited that Dash and Jimmy were the central characters - much like Jimmy the Hand (their grandfather) they share his charm, humour and clever words. This was a sad story, as well, with a lot of loss. Yet, a lot of questions were answered and the end is a clear segway into the next series within this whole epic storyline.

It was an alright story but I just couldn't get into the characters. It tried so hard to make the non magical storyline matter, but by the end of the book (saga even) the only things that really mattered were Pug, Miranda and Nakor. The other characters were fillers.
