Description Conducive To Books The Wayfarer Redemption (The Wayfarer Redemption #1)
A millennia-old prophecy was given when the Forbidden Ones were driven from Achar. And now, the Acharites witness its manifestation: Achar is under attack by an evil lord from the North, Gorgreal-his ice demons strike from the sky and kill hundreds of brave warriors in the blink of an eye.All Acharites believe the end is near.
One young woman, Faraday, betrothed of Duke Borneheld, learns that all she has been told about her people's history is untrue. While fleeing to safety from the dangerous land, Faraday, rides with Axis, legendary leader of the Axe-Wielders-and hated half-brother of Borneheld-and a man Faraday secretly loves although it would be death to admit it. She embarks on a journey, which will change her life forever, in search of the true nature of her people.
This grand and heroic story tells the tale of one woman's plight to learn the truth of her people and change their hearts and their minds forever. She fights against oppressive forces to share this reality and will not desist until everyone knows. . . . . The truth of the Star Gate

I'm going to break this one down into some of its major aspects:Storyline/plot: A fairly traditional 'Chosen One' story meets an 'ultimate evil' (think Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc.). Nothing very special yet.Characters: Some memorable ones, I find the Sentinel characters the most interesting, although we probably know the least about them, so mystery is working. On the other hand there are a lot of 'Mary Sue' types -almost every major named character seems to be super important for theI love fantasy & science fiction. They are my favourite genres. But there's a lot more great stuff out there than these books.I found her world enthralling and the pace of the novel great, but the characters! Oh Sara Douglass, why must you make them ALL so awful that I cannot sympathise or care about a single one?? I had actually read reviews before I picked up the novel, so I approached the reading of this book with a new mindset - and one I have to say I wasn't particularly enthused to
A friend of mine gave me this series as a Xmas gift a few years back and I was HOOKED. One of the best series I have EVER read. I honestly could not put it down and since then I have desperately latched onto every single book Sara Douglass has written. They are all fantastic but this series is the best. Good versus evil at it's best. The character development is simply wonderful yet it reads like a fast paced thriller. What I also appreciate about this author but particularly in this series, is
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsIt'd been approximately ten years since I last read THE WAYFARER REDEMPTION by Sara Douglass, and while I had not personally experienced the what-was-I-thinking-this-book-is-crap? phenomenon that so many readers have encountered during rereads of "favorite" books from eons past, I'd heard an awful lot about it . . .Still, I wasn't worried--my superior taste had consistently kept me from disappointment thus far, so why would this reread be any different?Pfft.This book was
Omg! I have found a new favorite book!! I can't begin to explain how much this book means to me. It was just so freaking wonderful! There are so many different things to love: people, The Forbidden, which are not what I thought at all, nature, fighting. Just everything. Well, obviously I didn't like the evilness and some of the killings. And holy crow, Axis is so strong to not have killed an evil person. It would have taken everything I had not to but there are reasons. Important reasons! I
Ok...so this starts out really slow but once the action gets started...I am hooked.I loved Battleaxe and Faraday...and couldnt wait to get the next book in the series...UNTIL...I started to read the reviews for the next two books in this series.I just have to say...Thank God I didnt waste close to 10.00 to buy the next book. I freakin hate when a character is protrayed as great at first but turns into a raging asshole who puts a woman through hell.Sorry...Im not wasting my time on the rest of
Where do I begin in reviewing arguably one of my all time favourite fantasy books? Perhaps the best way to do it is to provide some context. I first read Battleaxe when I was 14 in 1996. I distinctly remember walking into the bookstore and browsing over the shelves in search of something to read. After initially finding nothing of interest I went to leave, feeling disappointed and frustrated. As I turned my eyes fell upon a copy of Battleaxe that was tucked neatly on the shelves below my eye
