“Tad, Zane and Jommy's education is continued when they are assigned to the Royal University of Roldem, where they befriend the prince and cousin of the king. After saving the prince's life, they are knighted, and enlisted into the army! While the story of Valko is being told, the team of Pug, Magnus, Nakor and Bek are preparing to meet him in Kosridi. Feist weaves a curiously, dangerous new world of the Dasati. There is a lot more information brought to us by discovering this new reality with them. Meanwhile, Miranda is handling, (or not handling), the search for Leso on Kelewan. I really wanted to shout at her, "Open your eyes! He's right there in front of you!" As I suspected, Macros the Black makes a return! I really love this book! Raymond E. Feist does not disappoint! A definite must read!”

“This is definitely not turning out to be the best series written by Feist. While most of the overall storyline is interesting, and the worlds he draws for us are intriguing, there are just too many hard-to-believe turns of fate (especially when it comes to not being able to find leso varen) to really make me like it. The pathetic way in which they can't even begin to figure out how, at such times when a rift opens to kelewan, evil guy disappears there, and one of a pair of magicians sent to investigate said rift dies, while the other exhibits "Strange behavior", while everyone (with the apparent exception of the entire Assembly) knows that the guy can possess people is an annoying plot device to say the least, and this is one of the major gripes I have with the book. (Another - stylistic - gripe I have with these books is the repetition of passages meant to make us remember who people are, or what sorts of feelings they have, as they are often inane (such as "a complicated woman with complex feelings" in Wrath of a Mad God).)

Still, on the whole it's a decent read, though I recommend spending time reading the serpentwar/riftwar saga's, along with Krondor's Sons and Legacy/Legends.”
“This was the second book by Raymond Feist that I had read (the first being Flight of the Nighthawks) and I wasn't disappointed. "Into a Dark Realm" is a direct sequel to Flight of the Nighthawks and is the second book in his Darkwar Saga that tells the story of Pug the magician and his associates as they both prepare and attempt to avoid a war with the Dasati in another realm and discover the secret to the mysterious Talnoy. The book hops right into the story, not exactly where the original left off, but pretty close. The book is telling two stories at once, one of them following Pug, Nakor, Magnus, and the still strange Bek and their attempt to enter the Dasati realm and survive long enough to complete their mission; the other following Zane and the other boys as they are forced to go to school and the bonds they form with others as they are forced to work together.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Raymond Feist is, once again, showing his ability to enrapture those who reads his books into the world he creates, with strong, complex characters, secrets to be discovered and the twisting storyline. When I read the first book, I thought it was great, an excellent example of mature fantasy. This book was able to capture and replicate his past formula to once capture the readers attention, but make it still feel fresh, as a new story in the universe, not some ripped-off copy of his past books. One of the few faults I found in this book though, was the use of cliches in the fantasy world. While this is not too distracting, it does detract a little from his original universe and his style to portray the fantasy world. This book was excellent, though I would strongly suggest reading at least Flight of the Nighthawks first, better if you've read some of his others, as it makes multiple references to things that are not explained in the book, including things like the Talnoy and some of the characters, and it can likely be a little confusing for those who don't know the storyline and some of the important plot items and characters.”“This is a great author and I suggest all of his books”

“In this second volume of the Darkwar Saga, the sorceror Pug must journey into Hell itself to penetrate the homeworld of the alien Dasati. With the aid of a few extraordinary members of that race, Pug, along with Nakor, Magnus, and the myterious Ralan Bek disguise themselves and penetrate the Dasati plane of existence where the slightest mis-step could them immediately killed. All the while, Pug can only hope that Miranda can deal with the machinations of the the necromancer Leso Varen loose among the Tsurani Great Ones on Kelewan.

Meanwhile, Jommy, Tad, and Zane must endure the trials and tribulations of life first at a monastic university and then as junior officers in the army of Roldem.
A thrilling adventure that finally allows us some insight into the nature of the most deadly threat to the safety of Midkemia yet faced by a truly memorale cast of characters.”
