The Prophet of Akhran is written at a quick step, with fifty-fifty more thrill and action than the final volume.

Not the biggest climax of an ending, simply a very satisfying one.The Prophet of Akhran is written at a quick pace, with even more thrill and action than the last book.
All the forces meet finally in an all-deciding clash, with plenty of intra-faction politics. The primary antagonists are admittedly laid off with too much ease, but I wasn't expecting whatsoever different, give that the authors have always navigated the plot conflict with the element of wit and intellectual superiority in the characters, rather than sheer brawn.
The ending's not completely plot-resolving, but it is quite satisfying.
A good series

In The Prophet of Akhran, everything that has been accumulating in the previous books comes to fruition. If the desert nomads lose the war that looms over them, their tribes will cease to exist. Achmed, Khardan's brother, has forsaken his family and has instead sided with the Amir, whom he sees as a father figure. The djinn must fight against the immensely powerful Kaug, for taking him out would meet a major paring in Quar's growing power; however, beating him comes at a price.
This book would take earned five stars from me if it hadn't concluded the way it did. It was fantastic otherwise, simply I was so disappointed with it that information technology lost two stars. Not just one, merely two. When I finished the terminal chapter, I went to turn the page only to find that information technology was over! The volume just trails off, leaving us to imagine what will happen based on a couple of clues. It felt similar the actual concluding capacity (emphasis on the plural) had been torn out of my copy of the book.
(view spoiler)[ Achmed, according to a vision, will kill Khardan and eventually rise to exist emperor. The Amir will die. Lots of people in the tribes will dice. Mathew volition stay with the nomads as a weird sort-of wife whose love will never be reciprocated and an guardian angel whose first love is trapped with Kaug in an iron prison. (hide spoiler)]
And when the Rose of the Prophet finally blooms, Khardan and Zohra just brush information technology off and get accept an angry make-out session that turns into a dear-making session, leaving Mathew to pick upward the bloom. Quar's defeat happens so simply. (view spoiler)[ The Imam dies, and then BAM! Quar's a shriveled husk showtime for mercy. (hide spoiler)]
What happened with Astafas in the previous book also didn't amount to annihilation. I guess Asrial must have wiped Mathew'due south soul clean... but I still wished Mathew had had more than interest with "the night side," or at least that it came back to haunt him over again. Mathew inadvertently murders a whole agglomeration of people in Kich and gets over it pretty speedily.
SPOILER Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!
But seriously what the heck guys! You got to page 380 of the third book in a trilogy and y'all realized you had to wrap things up. I have never seen a worst catastrophe to a wonderful series. Aught was ended.! The romance that yous've been waiting for for 3 books finished up in a
I have always loved Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman books. Their characters are bright, detailed and unique. Their worlds are some of the best creations that I accept read in science fiction fantasy.SPOILER Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!
But seriously what the heck guys! You got to folio 380 of the tertiary book in a trilogy and you realized you lot had to wrap things up. I accept never seen a worst catastrophe to a wonderful series. Nothing was ended.! The romance that you've been waiting for for 3 books finished upward in a paragraph. Besides many questions are left unanswered. I never thought I would be disappointed reading 1 of their books. I've enjoyed the journey I merely did not bask the determination.
Did the Paladin really die!
The Imam is he dead, haunting. He'd been brought back before from worse!?
Achmed and the Amir are they notwithstanding attacking!? They had reinforcements in their fashion!
Did Zohra actually sleep with the Paladin?
Mathew is simply resigned to his fate never to return to his ain people?
Pukha!?
The romance over a dune! Come on! These characters never had a ceremonious word to each other! And so no ane notices the flowers blooming!
Twenty gods' anarchy of the gem! I thought at that place would exist some philosophical indicate of religious acceptance so the jewel finally stopped being in chaos but you still have weak gods and strong gods
This book is the rise of the hero, there are some slap-up desperate odds to overcome, emotional journeys continue, and some villains might but get what'south coming to them.

The tertiary book in the Rose of the Prophet series, and this is the book that brings it all together and concludes the story begun in The Will of the Wanderer.This volume is the ascension of the hero, there are some great desperate odds to overcome, emotional journeys continue, and some villains might just get what'south coming to them.
Khardan and Zohra continued to delight me, both corking strong characters, and Matthew was quite an interesting counterpoint to the both of them. The djinn, and Pukah in particular, continued to entertain. With an amazing Pukah moment that was very important, and kinda bittersweet.
Everything was tied up very nicely in this volume to conclude the serial, y'all got some swell endings for characters and as well some not so great, and I felt quite contented on finishing an quondam favourite serial that I hadn't read in quite a number of years.

I definitely liked the ending this reread than I have the starting time time around. It is both sort of hilarious and fitting; something I didn't actually appreciate before. The characters come dorsum to the commencement, only since they've all suffered together, there'southward more appreciation for what they accept and a refusal to change, washed in the most comical way.And though it seems an sharp ending, there was talk throughout the serial nigh how feelings were there, only hidden behind walls and unable to develop because of events; and the characters are and then well written it's like shooting fish in a barrel to read what wasn't written on the page, what comes next for them.
Matthew'southward journey was about heartfelt and I actually nearly teared upwards when he had his center to heart moment. His addition to the nomad tribe is awesome, and their acceptance of him is wholesome too.

Me encanta la fantasía, adoro la fantasía épica y soy fan de este libro. Mi película favorita, por daros una referencia, ha sido siempre "La princesa prometida". Y me gustan elfos, enanos, duendes, hadas, kenders, djinns, valerosos guerreros, inútiles paladines y temerosos magos.Y ahora sigo con lo que es el libro.
¿Lo mágico del libro?. Su mundo. Ambientado en el desierto. Nómadas, zonas desérticas inmensas, genios, tribus pastoriles. Si tienes imaginación suficiente es hasta cálido. Ambiente total de Las Mil Y Una Noches. No conozco otro libro de este tipo que aporte tan bien esa sensación.
Lo siguiente más llamativo es cómo presenta a la Dioses: el Mundo es una gran Gema de twenty caras. Cada una de estas representa a un Dios y cada uno tiene su opuesto en la otra cara.
Promenthas, es el Dios del Bien Supremo y Astafas es su antagonista.
Al principio los dioses estaban en el Mundo, pero se cansaron de que los mortales no dejaran de incordiales con sus peticiones. Así crearon a los Inmortales (o djinns), como representantes entre ellos y los humanos. Lo malo de esto es que los djinns llevan tanto tiempo ya entre los humanos, que han adoptado muchas de sus costumbres y debilidades, llevándolas al extremo.
En el caso de unos de los protagonistas (Ma-teo), su pueblo tiene como representante divinos a ángeles en lugar de djinns (que se asemejarían mas a genios).
Hablando de Ma-teo, es bisexual. Y esto no lo he visto en ninguna otra historia de este tipo por el momento. Seguidor del dios Promenthas, fue hecho esclavo al confundirlo con una mujer. Acaba en el harén del principe Khardan; y finalmente forma parte del trio protagonista: Khardan, Zhora y Ma-teo, siendo el punto de inflexión entre los otros dos orgullosos protagonistas obligados a entenderse y "amarse" por acuerdo entre los dioses para que no se acabe el mundo, que es el punto de partida de esta historia.
El libro tiene muy buen ritmo. Yo lo leí en tres volúmenes separados, creo que sigue siendo la edición que hay actualmente, y el last sólo me servía para empezar a devorar el siguiente. Al final, desee que hubiera más concluding, ya que de repente es un poco abreviado todo. Tiene notas humorísticas, como siempre, y que a gente "seria" les descolocan y abandonan la lectura, pero que a mi me encantan.
A los que os guste la fantasía, hayáis leído o no, algo de estos autores, deberíais darle una oportunidad. No es un libro muy conocido. Está entre la saga de La Espada de Joram (que me aburre horrores y del que me falta leer el cuarto, escrito por sorpresa cuando todo se había acabado en el tercero) y el Ciclo de la Puerta de la Muerte (que vuelve a ser una gran obra de estos autores).

A medio camino en lo que a calidad se refiere entre la primera y segunda novelas de la saga, no acaba de hacerle justicia a lo que ésta trilogía podría haber sido.Tiene elementos suficientes como para ser atrayente: su ambientación, diversidad de dioses y de caracteres, batallas, magia, amor, aventuras… y todo tratado con el peculiar sentido el humour que saben imprimir los autores a sus obras.
Pero quedan como una obra muy menor dentro de su ya extensa bibliografía. No tiene ni el carisma ni las sorpresas que pudieron tener la Espada de Joram, la Puerta de la Muerta o sus novelas de la Dragonlance. Y eso que en más de una ocasión tienes la sensación de estar metido en cualquiera de esos mundos gracias a los personajes y sus problemas.
El master problema que le veo al libro es que el crescendo prometido queda muy descafeinado, siendo la guerra entre dioses apenas una nota al margen y un ligerísimo juego de ingenio con un bruto bastante tonto.
Y en el plano mortal tres cuartos de lo mismo: los personajes sufren un viaje de autodescubrimiento y una serie de aventuras para dejarlo todo dispuesto a una batalla final de la que no sabremos el resultado.
Lo mejor es que en el plano personal quedan las cosas resueltas, pudiendo tomar la trilogía como una historia de amor con el trasfondo de la guerra entre dioses y humanos.
Se deja leer y puede gustar a todos los públicos, pero está lejos de grandes exponentes más modernos del género (como Nacidos de la Bruma) o las ya nombradas obras de los mismos autores.
Simplemente se queda como una trilogía más dentro de un género que tiene trilogías de ésta calidad para aburrir.

By today'due south standards, the treatm
As a teenager in the late 1900's, this series seemed very exotic set in the desert amid ii tribes of nomadic desert people. It was likely the first fourth dimension I'd seen a man-dressed-as-a-woman taken somewhat seriously, with same-sex (and bisexual attraction) taken seriously. I liked vehement Zohra, how she refused to do "women's work" and preferred to ride horses and fight, how she looked after her people even though they didn't sympathise or particularly respect her.By today's standards, the treatment of nomadic desert tribes would probable exist seen as offensive caricatures of illiterate bombasts that can barely manage iii days before warring with their allies. I hate that the authors had Zohra, on a suicide mission to save her people, first beg her mother-in-law for forgiveness having realized that tending children, cleaning, and cooking food was "only as" important as fighting. (If it'southward so noble, let's laurels some dudes with their share of the work.) It even dorsum-pedaled on Matthew's unrequited love for Khardan, honoring the sentiment as noble so long as they never acted upon it.
It was a fun romp, the machinations of the celestials being the best function of the book, simply didn't hold up besides equally I'd hoped.

In my opinion, this final volume makes the whole trilogy actually worth reading. While not Weis and Hickman's best story that I've read, I still enjoyed information technology very much.

The first book in the series that didn't totally irritate me with its writing style. It's still juvenile, simply better. The characters were a little more than weak and some plot moves had little or no reasons behind them.There were and then many things left unsettled, yous would think they'd revisit the story.
This is not a series to rush out and buy. Buy the serial for a cadet or two if you lot come beyond it and salvage it for i of those days y'all merely have to read something new and have no money. At all-time, you'll be mildly entertained. At worst, it will inspire you to get dorsum to work so you can become something better.
These aren't horrible, just poorly written by two authors who've washed so much better.

I've read stories from children that were finished off in a more enjoyable and complete manner. It was like the authors just got sick of the story line and couldn't exist bothered finishing it properly. The only way it could of possibly been worse was if it concluded with, "and so they woke upwards and realised it was all a dream".

The 3rd, and concluding (give thanks god) installment in this trilogy. They make a tidy catastrophe to the story that left me wanting more. The characters in this trilogy could have been so much more, yet this story always came upward brusque.

a nifty series with strong female role characters
I am currently working on the third book in the Dragon Brigade series, the Seventh Sigil. The commencement volume is Shadow Raiders. The 2nd volume is Storm Riders, coming out from Tor in July 2013.
My hobby is flyball racing with my dogs, Dixie, a border collie, and 2 crackhead Shelties, Joey the Thug and Clancy the Hooligan.
