Into a Dark Realm by Raymond E. Feist

4.0

This was an excellent second entry to a surprisingly good trilogy - I thought I had seen that the Riftwar Cycle falls off near the end? maybe that's later to come - and I'm immediately continuing on to the conclusion.

Feist plays the old hits - more young men training, for two separate distinct sets of characters, more of Pug and Nakor running around doing their thing - while also introducing an extremely horrifying and compelling new world of the Dasati, a world that was fully taken over by The Nameless One where concepts of morality and empathy are completely foreign.

I was fully invested throughout, though this does suffer a bit from middle book syndrome, as it ends extremely abruptly, basically mid-scene. Luckily, the third book was published about 15 years ago, so I don't have to wait!
