The demon has been defeated and the Kingdom rejoices as the threat to the existence of every living thing on Midkemia has passed, but out of the ashes of war new problems arise, in the brilliant sequel to Rage of a Demon King...Shards of a Broken Crown, Volume IV of Raymond E. Feist's Serpentwar Saga, tells the story of the survivors of the great assault on the Kingdom by the hordes of the Emerald Queen. An ambitious General has picked up the fallen reins of command and seeks to build a personal empire out of the wreckage of the Western Realm. It is up to a handful of committed men and women to oppose him. In the forefront of this conflict stand Jimmy and Dash, grandsons of the legendary Jimmy the Hand, who alongside Erik von Darkmoor and Roo Avery must contest on every hand as rival Empires seek to gain from the Empire's loss. While war rages on two borders, mysterious agencies of dark powers move behind the scenes, from the mountains to the north to the sewers under the burned-out cities of Krondor. Dark powers move, too, behind the scenes, and Pug the Magician and his allies attempt to engage and defeat them, while the Kingdom struggles to gather together the shattered pieces of the nation and forge a new future.

Von Jason C. Felton
Format:Taschenbuch
This book was weak. I mean, really. The story in and of itself was alright, but I felt like I was reading something my 6 year old son wrote (and got a bad grade on) in class. The author is constantly yanking the reader from krondor to other places and back again with out even the slightest hint of subtlety. The characters were poorly developed and predictable, the dialouge was filled with cliche, and the ending left me feeling like i just got ripped off at the used car lot. "After all of this reading...this is the ending i get?" The straw that took this story beyond redemption was Erik's chieftain, Owen, getting killed by an arrow fired off accidentally by one of the soldiers. What a horrible thing to do to a good character! Sure it happens, but.. it was a disappointment in the extreme. If you really want to read some good fantasy, or historical fiction (something action packed!) go read lawhead's song of albion cycle or byzantium (also by lawhead), or warriors of the way by harry harrison. Me? I'm going to go have a marshmellow roast and use this book to start the fire.

The first time I read this, I didn't like it. It had it's moments but it didn't star my favorite characters much from the first three. Mainly just the borothers Dash and James. But after reading it seveal times, I grew to like them and there are definitely superb moments in this work to get the blood stirring. Great book!
**A book I would also recommend is The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. This, the first installment of The Morcyth Saga is a great beginning for a new author. Battles, magic, gods, secret passages and intrigue, all the elements of a classic epic fantasy! Any fantasy reader will enjoy it

Format:Taschenbuch
Certainly not Feist's best. But enjoyable nonetheless. I think Feist was a bit on his autopilot when he wrote this. Certainly all the ingredients of a good book, yet somehow it isn't quite up to his usual standards. Maybe because it feels like your average part 4... more of the same.

Get rid of Pug and Thomas
Great story as usual from this author but completely ruined by ending. Heroic people do heroic things then poof! Pug just tells everyone to go home. Lesen Sie weiter...

Blech!
Feist has sunk even lower with Shards of a Broken Crown than he had with Rage of a Demon King. An appallingly bad novel, a terrible end to an - at best - mediocre rehash of the... Lesen Sie weiter...

The end?
As this is provisinaly the last book set in midkemia you would think that it would tie up all the loose ends that come from a 10 book series. Lesen Sie weiter...

Feist's formula is as broken as the Kingdom's crown
I feel sorry for those people (including myself) who were suckered into buying the hardback version of this novel. Lesen Sie weiter...

After careful consideration of the whole series written by Feist, this appears to be an unsatisfactory conclusion to the Serpentwar Saga, largely as the ending appears almost out... Lesen Sie weiter...

Mediocre quality for Mr. Feist unfortunately...
It deeply pains me to give Raymond E. Feist anything less than 5 stars, but... To begin with, Shards has quite a few grammatical errors and typos. Lesen Sie weiter...
