A Darkness at Sethanon - Raymond E. Feist

The final book in the Riftwar Saga delivered much of the same as the first. An interesting good vs. evil plot, lots of fantasy elements, simplistic writing.

It was a satisfying enough conclusion to the series, and I think I've read enough to know that Feist is not my kind of author.

He runs into trouble with creating overly powerful 'good' characters, and then explaining away why they cannot be there to save the day. And when they do save the day, they do so without the kind of loss that makes their struggles seem more believable - even for a fantasy novel. Contrast with Scott Lynch, Joe Abercrombie or Rothfuss' writing. Glad that I finished this series.

Now I can put Feist's spartan style of writing behind me!
