The second book in the brand new series, 'Conclave of Shadows' from world-wide bestselling author of 'Magician,' Raymond E. Feist Chaos threatens to overwhelm two worlds as the most dangerous force ever encountered threatens to invade Midkemia, while the most treacherous magician in history -- the madman Leso Varen -- begins to wreak havoc on the world of Kelewan. Pug and the Conclave of Shadows are determined to find Varen, only to discover that he has usurped the body of one of the most powerful men in the Empire of Tsuranuani -- a Black Robe and member of the Assembly of Magicians. Pug has the almost impossible task of uncovering the true identity of the fiendish magician in an entire city full of Black Robes. Murder, mayhem, horror, and the darkest evil await Pug's son, Magnus, and his companions as they attempt to discover the ultimate source of the terrible threat that hovers over Midkemia and Kelewan. Leading a desperate expedition into the realm of the Dasati, the vast and malevolent empire which is threatening his homeworld, Magnus hopes to find the key to defeating this enemy who is capable of overwhelming the combined might of two worlds. But even if he does, the companions will have a desperate struggle to return home with their vital information. Three worlds will teeter on the brink of destruction as the third Riftwar: the Darkwar, is unleashed.

This is yet another installment in the brilliant series by Raymond E. Feist. In this one, we learn more of the Dasaati and get a feel for their way of life. We also begin to learn about the various warring internal faction within that system. I have found that these books are beginning to get a bit too localised, without the humour and fast-paced action of the earlier series. This is not bad, however; but good in a differnet way. What IS bad is the fact that the author has begun to forget some of his earlier characters and plot-lines and incorrectly refers to them at times. Not enough to confuse the story-line but definately enough for die-hard fans like me to feel put out about. Enjoy, I did!
I personally own this copy of the book. I've found that as Feist writes more and more books, his writing style has changed. Now, instead of various sub-plots and numerous characters we find the same collection of characters working on different parts of the SAME plot. This is both alright- as by now we know the characters and plot-lines/ intricacies well- and also slightly disappointing, as we find ourselves without the slightly inter-twining multiple plotlines that made me fall in love with his earlier works. Still, compelling and fascinating. I would reccommend it to any Feist fan. No-one else'd be able to get it!
