Praise for previous books in The Axis Trilogy: 'BattleAxe is the best Australian fantasy novel I've experienced to date.' Martin Livings, Eidolon 'Enchanter is utterly enthralling and unputdownable.' Karen Brooks, OzLit
Product Description
The last book of the Wayfarerer Redemption, an enthralling continuation of The Axis trilogy, by the bestselling Australian author Sara Douglass The protecting magical forests of Minstrelsea have been blasted from the surface of Tencendor, leaving demons and Hawkchildren free to feed. At the Maze, Queteb stands victorious over the body of Caelum SunSoar yet boiling with anger that the true Enemy Reborn, the Starson, has escaped destruction. With his unholy army of demon-corrupted men and beasts around him Queteb begins the search for the only man who can now defeat him. Bound to the temporary safety of the cave of Sanctuary, the survivors of Tencendor mourn the loss of Caelum and struggle to come to terms with the traitorous Drago's true identity. Now, as DragonStar the StarSon, Drago must prepare the unwilling Tencendorians for Queteb's onslaught. But treachery from within the SunSoar family itself threatens to undermine Drago's new-found powers and will prove fatally decisive in the final battle for Tencendor.

Unputdownable - A Great End To The Axis Series...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crusader (Wayfarer Redemption) (Paperback)
When I first picked up the Axis series some months ago with "Battleaxe", I just couldn't get into it, but when I did, it was excellent, I finished the first series in 2 days, and waited until "Crusader" was released to start on the second series.Although the second series isn't quite as good as the first - there aren't so many surprises..., and there are fewer characters to develop, thus taking away one of Sara Douglass's best skills - it is still a very good read, and a great way to end the series... One thing that has bugged me throughout all six of these books is why does Douglass persist in putting in the odd psuedo-profanity? The one that springs to mind is from "Battleaxe", where, in the early chapters, amongst all of the descriptive prose that you expect in a fantasy novel, Douglass inserts the phrase "and they eat and shat like everyone else"...WHY?!?! It just breaks the flow of language, and is introduced entirely out of context. Oh well, rant over, I would recommend this book, but don't bother reading either of Douglass's Axis series out of sequence as you'll only get lost.

I implore you..,

This review is from: Crusader (Wayfarer Redemption) (Paperback)
Read this series. I'd usually find myself writing a flowery review, to try and impress and coerce somebody into reading a book I enjoyed. Hey decent authors deserve it. But no fucking about (excuse me) just read this series. I've heard Sara Douglass put down when compared to some of the more established fantasy authors. But having read widely around the genre, she leaves the better known faces of Feist, Hobb and (dare I say it?) Tolkien behind.
It's wonderful, I implore you, read the series.

Well written but felt story was written for children,
By Fantasyreader "bookworm" (Southampton, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crusader (Wayfarer Redemption) (Paperback)
Well written but puzzling ending. The demons which cannot be destroyed are, er, destroyed, four that is while one becomes a butler, um. It gets stranger, three of the 'shape shifting demons' are hanged. Couldn't they shapeshift? I thought if this story ends ...and they all lived happily ever after, then I'm going to throw up, it doesn't! The authors attempt not to kill off to many of its goody characters and attempt to bring the one's killed back at the end is just plain silly.
Suggest reading George Martins series of books 'A song if ice and fire', most of his characters have got (quite literaly) the chop.
