Darkest Hour

When a book goes in a direction that I do t want it to, I try not to let it color my judgement. Thisbook/series has done so, but I'm hoping some of the characters make it out alright. That said, the storyline finally picked up enough for me to grab #3.

I'm hoping it keeps it moving. The writer has a tendency to pause for long philosophical discussions in the middle of all the action.

...I thought World’s End was a decent read, Darkest Hour is better. Chadbourn maintains his fast pace and deep mythological connection to the land but lowers the D&D content. Being the second book in the trilogy, it does of course leave you hanging, so I'm trying to get my hands on the third book...

A multi-sided political struggle develops. Humans, the Tuatha De Danaan, and the Fomorii. These are all basically opposed to each other, but the Dragon sibling group seeks an alliance with sympathetic Tuatha to help them do something about the problems that beset them.

The problem they have is that some of the others are quite nihilistic, or don't really want to do anything. God psychology can be tricky.
