Rendition In Favor Of Books Forging the Darksword (The Darksword #1)

In the enchanted realm of Merilon, magic is life.

Born without magical abilities and denied his birthright, Joram is left for dead. Yet he grows to manhood in a remote country village, hiding his lack of powers only through constant vigilance and ever more skillful sleight-of-hand.

Forced to kill a man in self-defense, Joram can keep his secret from the townspeople no longer: he has no magic, no life. Fleeing to the Outlands, Joram joins the outlawed Technologists, who practice the long forbidden arts of science. Here he meets the scholarly catalyst Saryon, who has been sent on a special mission to hunt down a mysterious "dead man" and instead finds himself in a battle of wits and power with a renegade warlock of the dark Duuk-tsarith caste.

Together, Joram and Saryon begin their quest toward a greater destiny--a destiny that begins with the discovery of the secret books that will enable them to overthrow the evil usurper Blachloch...and forge the powerful magic-absorbing Darksword.

Assess About Books Forging the Darksword (The Darksword #1)

Of all the Weis & Hickman books, this trilogy was my favourite. Looking back, it was the most original and interesting (in terms of characters, world building and premise).

Freed from the shackles of having to write a fantasy trilogy as a companion piece to the D&D module packs, they were able to explore their imagination more fully and structure the plot more appropriately.Okay,

The trilogy that got me into reading as a teenager. My rating probably reflects this. It's a great one for teenagers just getting into fantasy books etc...

special snowflake protagonist is mundane, whereas entire setting is sorcerous. protagonist is the subject of an apocalyptic prophecy. he is both hidden monarch and embodiment of industrial development over magocratic stagnation.anyway, he is tried and convicted of being a dick, but escapes punishment by letting his friend be petrified in his stead. good job!

Just like the rest of the books she writes this is another fantastic book in the series and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series the next time I have a free spot to read a new book.

After reading the fantastic Death Gate cycle, I was looking forward to read another great series from Weis & Hickman, so I picked up the Darksword trilogy. Unfortunately, the book didn't live up to my expectations.First of all, the book started slow. This isn't always so bad, series like this usually need time to develop the world and the characters. The problem is that this slowness continued. Pages went on and on and on without anything really happening. Even when the main character
