5 posts | 5 read | 1 to read

After a year of magical combat, the world is in ruins, and the few surviving wizards, including two stranded Californians, must take to the offensive Since the Dark Ones returned, the world has been laid to waste. The land’s wizards have been slaughtered, its cities destroyed, and its people scattered in terror, and few have witnessed more of the destruction than Rudy and Gil—two ordinary Californians who found their way across the Void, and took up arms in defense of a strange and magical world. She learned the ways of war, while he found within himself the powers of a great wizard. Both of them will need all their strength to survive this final challenge. Ingold, the master wizard, has devised a spell to hide the user from the deathly stare of the Dark, and he intends to use it to strike at their very heart. Finally, Rudy, Gil, and the rest of mankind’s survivors will take the offensive, bringing an end to this terrible war, for better or for worse. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Barbara Hambly, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

The Armies of Daylight | Barbara Hambly

Pan

The climax/ending of this book is completely detached from the protagonists and the vast majority of the story. The characters feel one-dimensional and experience no growth. The Dark are powerful verging on invincible, which makes it hard to feel invested in humanity's quest to fight back. I normally adore Barbara Hambly, but I am deeply dissatisfied with this book/series.

10 pages left and I'd rather watch my husband play video games than finish reading the book.

blurb

The Armies of Daylight | Barbara Hambly

I'm on page 11 of a straight-up lecture detailing the great intrigue of the series. Seriously, I've read two books almost exclusively to learn this information, and it's delivered via hard exposition and historical chronicalling. I'm dyyyying.

blurb

The Armies of Daylight | Barbara Hambly

I am struggling. Characters move through emotional development at break-neck speed while the plot remains roughly untouched since book one: insurmountable monsters have destroyed civilization but even though we have no leads or ideas maaaaybe we can find a way to fight back.

I love Barbara Hambly, but I thought books 1 and 2 of the Dawath Trilogy were lackluster. Let's see what the finale does for my appreciation of this series.
