Our view
“Rage of a Demon King” drives the “Serpentwar Saga” at speed towards its last volume, with a finale that delivers. Erik Von Darkmoor drills the Kingdom’s soldiers, Rupert is pushed into paying for the war, and the Emerald Queen’s army closes on Krondor. Feist overturns much of what was established about his world; some readers find the new picture coherent, and long-time fans may react strongly either way.
