A titanic battle and the answers to some mysteries
“This final book in the Darkwar Saga is full of adventure and answers, as the events that began all the way back in Magician come to something of a close. The storyline that includes Tad, Zane, Kaspar, and the other non-superpowered characters continues to be filler, as in previous books, but overall Wrath of a Mad God moves forward at breakneck speed.

Side note: since the "truth" behind all the events occurring on Midkemia, Kelewan, the Dasati worlds, etc. keeps changing with each new trilogy, the human stories in these books are seeming more and more insignificant. Whichever cause the characters believe they are fighting for, the fact remains that no matter what they do, millions are being drawn into, and ground up by, the struggle of characters that are now near god-like in power. Hopefully with the Demonwar trilogy, this trend does not simply continue, but Feist finds a way to bring it back down to a manageable level. Otherwise, I expect to see magicians throwing planets at each other soon. Oh wait, didn't that happen already?” -
GREAT BOOK

A top recommendation for any reader of the prior books
“Book three of the 'Darkwar Saga' is a top recommendation for any reader of the prior books and for collections holding these as popular lends. Here the Darkwar rages upon Midkemia and Kelewan, bringing destruction to both worlds. A friend thought dead may bring the key to resolution in this momentous story of a final battle that concludes the saga.”

Mixed Bag
“I did enjoy this novel as I do all of Feist's work. The fighting in this novel takes a whole new level and sometimes it feels a little beyond the reader with gods and demons and other greater beings duking it out. The fun young characters seem to have been dropped in favor of the all powerful characters. It might have been nice to have Tad, Zane and the others included more in the story since they had been developed so nicely in the previous two books. A whole lot gets wrapped up in this book, the problem with the Dasanti, the missing gods, the mystery of Nakor and Bek, Leso Varen and the fate of Kelewan. I would love to read a bridging book that tells a simpler tale of what has happened in between the next big event.”

Not Feist's best work, but if you're a fan still worth reading.
“This is the last book in Feist's the Darkwar trilogy, now for a bit of the story.

In this novel we see the evil and blood thirsty Dastai gain a foothold in the world of Kelewan, the Tsurani warriors do there all to fight agianst the death magic of the Dastai mages and the brutality of there warriors, on there side though they have some of the great military leaders of Midkemia, Eric Von Darkmoor, the former Duke Kasper and from the far land of of Novindus the general Alenburga to fight and lead the warriors, but will that be enough? On the Dastai home world we see Pug and his followers battle the evil Dread Lord and his minions with the aid of the white, a political and military group of Dastai who strive for the good of their people, but will they all make it out of the battle alive?
This is a good book, it's no where near as good as his previous work but it is still worth reading, the one point the irked me was in the book we see Feist tell that Eric Von Darkmoor served all his like with the Kingdom and was never married or had children, when any fan of Erik's knows his was married to Kitty in the Serpent war saga, this mistake is unforgivable when you consider Erik is one of the main characters in Fiest's work, hence the reason for three stars and not four.
