Review
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
Star Gate and the magic of the StarDance have been destroyed by the Timekeeper Demons. They have resurrected Qeteb and will destroy the StarSon and Tencendor forever. But without the StarDance can the Enchanters and gods do anything, or must they stand aside in the face of the Demons power.

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.

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 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.
