Rage of a Demon King (Serpentwar Saga)

just pure quality!

I have just read all of his books - yes from book 1 - where it all started with good old pug etc. and I love his style of writing. trouble is now that I have read all is that I have to wait until he writes some more!!

I liked the fact it demons in it, cos y'know demons are cool

This book continues the story of the pending onslaught from the army in Novindus. I think Raymond is a master at creating tension and setting up the stage.

In scenes such as these, I would have to say Salvatore does a much better job.Finally, (warning: spoiler!!!): I have a personal issue with Nakor and the discussion about gods and the meaning of life. This section was a little too philosophical for me, especially in that section of the book (e.g. the invasion of the Novindus army).   hide
