Fair submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 14, 2014, 7:56pm Though Sara Douglass has several trilogies (and a foursome that I just loved), I picked this one up as a place to start. But the more I read, the more I felt like I was missing a book or three. So I looked up more about her books and discovered that prior to this story, I was actually missing seven. No wonder I thought there were too many characters and too much missing history!

It's probably a much better book if you read all its prequels in order. I did like it enough to read Book 2. My only real editorial comment otherwise is that I feel like there are too many kinds of magic, and each one seems to have its own rules. They feel too much like each was invented by the author to serve whatever the story needed at the time, with no underlying consistency beneath them. But it's possible that also would be remedied by reading the whole history in it's original order.
