Summary: Salvatore's Continuing Epic
Review: This, in my opinion, is R. A. Salvatore's best work. I will grant that it is not his best-written work, and that I did notice the overuse of the word pragmatic, however; all of this aside, the story is simply amazing. RAS takes the world of Corona into a new, and more mature realm. We are done with the cut-and-clear battles between good and evil and have moved to the realms of morality and inner-struggle. Of character development, and new beginnings. Mr. Salvatore has put his heart and soul into this work (having written it during a very harsh time in his life) This is why there is a grainy, choppy, and unfinished feel to this book (as some reviewers have pointed out) If anything, these qualities enhance the true meaning of the book, but only if one looks into the story. Gone is the heroic world of Elbryan- Nightbird, and left is the new threat from the seeds of the Demon Dactyl. Corona is a larger world by far by the end of Mortalis, and a much more interesting place. I thank Mr. Salvatore for sharing his pain through this masterful work of fantasy.

Summary: A masterpiece of emotion.
Review: When i first picked up this book i knew it was going to be something different from the typical Salvatore fare. If you ahve read the Demon Apostle you knwo what i mean. Main characters die, the wrong people get hurt, and bad things happen all the time. Not exactly the same as the Forgotten Realms novels where all the main characters are pretty much alive and well. Heck, even Wulfgar came back. This piece though, it has so much emotion and raw passion put into the writing its hard not to respect it for what it is, not a fantasy novel but a true piece of literature. I have always held the Demonwars Series in higher regard than most other series, but this book blows even that away. It is clear upon reading it, that this is Salvatores own creation, not some D&D'esque adventure where you can almost hear the dice rolling in the background. I advise any Salvatore fan out there to pick up a copy NOW, and if you arent a Salvatore fan, it will be hard not to be after reading this. Ill admit, i was skeptical about this book, considering the main character died in the last one, but Pony makes a great protagonist and the narrative is top notch. Check it out.

Summary: A Must Read For Any Salvatore Fan!
Review: When I read the end of the Demon Apostle, I was shocked to find out that Elbryan had passed on. I was wondering where Salvatore would go, since he was the main character throughout the first trilogy. However, Salvatore definitely shows us that Pony is just as much a hero as Elbryan was. I just absolutely loved this book and the way that it showed real human nature. I could really see some people locking themselves away so that the plague wouldn't get them and some of the others plunging headlong into it to alleviate the suffering of others. This is just a great book and a worthy addition to the DemonWars. I can't wait until the next one comes out, so that I can find out what happens next to all of the characters.
