This story is a bit more disjointed and hard to keep up with, but it has very important development for the characters as you progress to the next final book.

An important continuation

Need to finish trilogy so much lore I have never heard of sanmaster before mentioned anywhere I have read over 120 forgotten realms novels so I’m happy for the insight why the dragons are going mad

Good book

I love this trilogy from Richard Lee Byers. But unfortunately Melissas narration makes it very hard to get through. Often confusing because the voices are too similar etc. I really wish I had this fantastic tale nattated by Michael Kramer, Stephen Fry or someone equally brilliant in audiobook narration.

A good story with confusing narration

Good second installment of the rage series. Slightly less action than 1st book, still good.

Great continuation of the series

Great story and awesome lore. I miss the older books and wish the new books would drift back to this instead of the woke crap being served now. Easy solution, I just don't buy that stuff.

loved it great series so far
