Summary: Wow...just wow...
Comment: "Demon Wars" will always hold a very special place in my heart. I had checked out "The Demon Awakens" from the small town library I work at, because the description on the inside cover sounded made the book sound interesting. The book sat in my room for about a week unread. Then came the great blizzard of '03 that blanketed the East coast under a lot of snow. With nothing else to do, I delved into Mr. Salvatore's first book of the "Demon War" saga. I was totally blown away by what I read! The only other time I have ever had such a reaction to a book was the first time I read "The Lord of the Rings."
For the entire winter I read nothing but "Demon Wars" and I loved each book just as much as the first. Even the death of Elbryan couldn't keep me away from continuing on in the Corona series.
I guess I started reading this series at a perfect time, because by the time I finished "Transcendence", "Immortalis" was about to be released. I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon and impatiently awaited its arrival. When the book showed up I delved into it in a frenzy...wanting so much to know how "Demon Wars" was going to end, but yet...not wanting it to end.
"Immortalis" has everything readers of "Demon Wars" and R.A. Salvatore have come to expect from him over the years: emotion, spectacular battles and characters you never want to part with. I don't think I could ever imagine a better end to my SECOND favorite fantasy series of all time.
Rating: 5
Summary: Topps off a great series
Comment: This book brings one of the best series I have ever read to a close, with all the excitement you would expect from Salvatore.
Rating: 5
Summary: A conclusion that is top notch, and open for more
Comment: The beginning of the book was obviously build up for the end of the DemonWar, but gave you a sense of who the characters where, and brought back some old characters as well. All your great heroes are in this book (that are still alive of course), so there isn't any excuse not to read it.
I believe that the fast pace action and build up finally exploded in the last 48 pages. It was amazing, I continued reading and getting close to the end going "um, how can Salvatore wrap this up in 48 pages?" and believe it or not he did it. Without giving away anything I will describe it like this:
"Imagine taking all the greatest heros of two wars, two generations, many powerful novels, and combining them into a tragic explosive conflict within only 48 pages of text"
Its intense. I was up till 3am "just finishing the last 30 pages." As the end gets closer I continue to ask myself "Ok, now who's going to die?" You never want to see a great Hero die, but with as many characters in a book its hard to keep them all alive without the reader starting to disbelieve :)
Expect to say goodbye to some, and hello to others. Salvatore seems to make sure this war is really wrapped up this time.
However, the classic salvatore move is pulled.... leave out vital information when you finally hit that last page. Asking what happens to [n] people? Where does [y] go after that occurs? Could [z] become who they have always wanted to be? I have a feeling Salvatore left some room for growth with some of the characters to fit them into their own advantures. Time will tell.
