Calling Bookworms

Four novels this time, all from Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.

Nope, not the Dragonlance but the The Darksword Trilogy plus another Darksword book.

The Darksword Trilogy:

Forging the Darksword, volume I

Doom of the Darksword, volume II

Triumph of the Darksword, volume III

And also Legacy of the Darksword.

In a world where magic is life, baby Joram was born without magic, so he was pronounced as being "dead". But guess what? According to prophecy, this Joram held the fate of the world.

Tough luck. =P

The Darksword trilogy told the story of Joram, from birth till he became a man, and ended with his decision and action that changed the world forever.

Of course, in between all that time, it's packed full of goodies!

The Legacy of the Darksword was a continuation of the story line after the trilogy.

Obviously there was a Darksword, how it's created and what's so special about it was revealed.

There were also magic, dragons, centaurs, faeries, tanks, laser, spaceships, space travel, time travel, battles, wars, romance, aliens, parallel universe, Merlyn (with "y" instead of "i"), Excalibur (mentioned), and a teddy bear with an orange ribbon.

I kid you not.

There truely are all those things in the novels, and no, they don't suck monkey balls being all together. That's what makes the novels so involving.

Being a Dragonlance fan for so many years it took me a bit of getting used to the magic system in the Darksword series, it's a refreshing change.

Great books by Margaret and Tracy, go read!
