Rides a Dread Legion by Raymond E. Feist

4.0

This story begins with Amirantha ��������� a Warlock who can summon demons - summoning a demon that breaks his control and with the help of his ���������son��������� Brandos they conquer it and get paid by a local leader for their work. Such is what they do apparently to villages in order to make a living. Next the story moves onto a temple where an apparently beautiful woman named Sandreena is trying to meditate but fails instead because she is thinking of many things along with her past and then doesn���������t succeed. She has issues with men from being a whore as a youth and then sold and eventually found by a man with redeeming qualities who becomes her father figure and the only man she trusts without reservations. She is inturn requested to be seen by Father Bishop Creegan who tells her where she goes next for journey to protect those who can���������t protect themselves ��������� which is the task of the order in which she is a part of. Next we get into the part of the story with Alyston (a ranger of Natal) who by chance sees an Elf going into their other world and thus he seeks advice from some befriended goblins (King Dolgan). From there the story slowly begins to intertwine together where all these once solitary roads come together. The Elves move from where they were to where they once lived because of a demon legion who is killing them and they need refuge. Then and oracle and others come together to fight this battle. You are enthralled in a story that began as individual ones that intertwine to become one large one.

The story is full of magic magical beings wonders and adventure. It is decently written. At first I didn���������t really like that with each chapter you were strewn to another persons��������� story without knowing how it would relate. They all seemed to be individual stories thrown together. However as the story progresses you find that the first chapters were like a good telling of back history that help you to understand the story as it moved on. While at the beginning it seemed slow monotonous; once you get through it you have a better understanding and appreciation for the story.
