***THIS IS BOOK 2 OF THE DARKIN SAGA. BOOK 1, DARKIN: A JOURNEY EAST, IS FREE!***

After the Battle at Dinbell Wall, Adacon and his friends learn that Aulterion, nemesis of the East, was but a pawn of the true evil threatening the world.

United with his band of heroes, and Calan his love, Adacon feels as though nothing can stand against the power of righteousness any longer: They will travel home and destroy the last remnant of darkness.

As doom covers the world, a new star appears in the sky, growing larger each night. The dwarves claim that the Prophecy of the Key is at hand—that the departed race has returned.

But a powerful secret has been revealed by Flaer, now that his curse is lifted and he can speak; the fate of the world balances upon a thread: An ancient magic has been unleashed, more powerful than any before it, and an ancient race has returned to the planet to claim a beloved treasure.

Is there any hero with might enough to stand against Vesleathren? Can anyone stop the departed race before the prophecy is fulfilled? Will Adacon's love endure?

5,0 su 5 stelle A great sequel to a wonderful series.

This book is an excellent follow up to the first book (Darkin : A Journey East.) A lot of questions the first book left me with were answered in this book. The main characters in the first book are further developed and I literally began to care about the characters and what happened to them. In addition, a lot of new characters are introduced and there are quite a few interesting plot twist that leave you wanting more. There is more action, more romance, more magic and more characters. If you enjoyed the first book, this book is a must buy. You will not be disappointed.

=====THE REST OF THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS, IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE SECOND BOOK PLEASE STOP HERE AND BUY THIS BOOK!=====

I really enjoyed the sci-fi elements that were added to this book. I think this gives a whole new perspective to Darkin. I also loved how the "Aliens" leave a lot of questions, and it leaves me wondering what will happen to them and the galaxy they are attempting to save, and what will happen when and if they return to Darkin. This by itself leaves me wanting to read the third book.

As far as character progression goes, this book does a fantastic job developing Adacon. Its been a fun adventure following him from a slave on the farm of Grelion to a Welsprin. Adacon truly is an awesome hero, and a character I found myself caring about a lot.

My favorite character in the series is Remtall. My favorite scenes from this book is in the Gear Chambers and obtaining the Rod of the Gorge. Remtall's courage is truly inspiring and his character is so deep. I also enjoy his relationship with Ulpo and think they make a perfect team. I felt his pain when he confronted Grelion and when he broke down, I found goosebumps all over my body. The scene was very powerful and made me understand Remtall just that much more. Remtall is a very memorable character and one of my favorites from any fantasy series.

This book introduces quite a few new characters and adds quite a bit more depth into the world of Darkin. Although I did enjoy just following a few characters in the first book, the second book does make Darkin feel a lot bigger and richer.

and just as the first book left me wanting more, the second book is no different. I look forward to seeing how the Academy progresses and the adventures that lie ahead for Adacon and the gang. Nice job again, Mr. Turkot. I look forward to the third book!

Moving on from  Darkin: A Journey East (The Darkin Saga) , there is a clear change of pace and of focus. Given the way that the action is spreading, I believe that this was the right thing to do, especially as our hero, Adacon, has done a Luke Skywalker and headed off to find a guru, taking him out of a lot of the action.

Instead we find the drunkard gnome Remtall off in a quest for a magic staff, we meet some new characters from the village of Rislind, we follow Flaer, Slowin and Erguile at the forefront of battle, and the dwarves and elves are on their way. And there are also some new kids on the block who add a new sci-fi dimension to the swords and sorcery fantasy.

The forces of evil are now mobilised across the western continent, taking cities in their stride. Only the fortress city of Wallstrong stands in the country of Hemlin, and it guards the pass into Arkynshyr. Here in this key location, new battle lines are drawn.

Throughout this book, the ideas about magic (Vapoury for the forces of Good, Wizardry for the forces of Evil) are complemented by a third type of magic, that of the Welsprin, who hold a more neutral position, but seems to be more on the side of goodness. There is also the subtle defensive magic of the warrior druids of Hemlin, which seems to surprise the leader of the Feral Brood. The revelations in the last chapter tell of more revelations in store about magic.

The sci-fi element sits a little awkwardly, but the incongruences are handled well. The technology of the aliens baffles and defeats the natives, but the magic of the natives baffles and defeats the aliens, but only in certain circumstances. Their part in the story cuts across the book as they have only their own mission to perform and that has nothing to do with barbarian armies. Unfortunately it does impact on the story line in very deep and personal ways.

The third book, called The Academy of Gaigas, is due out later this year.

Darkin: The Prophecy of the Key is the sequel to author Joseph Turkot's fantasy novel  Darkin: A Journey East (The Darkin Saga) . The first book in the Darkin saga, which is available for free, ends with a rather fascinating cliffhanger. So I was very interested to see what the author had in store for his characters in Darkin 2. An unbelievably powerful force of evil threatens to destroy everything that is good and free in the world of Darkin, and only the newfound powers of a young 'Welsprin' can hope to challenge the darkness that approaches. But as the free people of Darkin gather to confront their enemy, an entirely new danger appears...
But the strange twist that the author throws into the story is so unexpected that I won't say anything more about it here. All I can say is that it is truly a unique take on fantasy - at least, in the fantasy literature I have read.
The characters in Darkin are all unique, each having their own personalities and quirks. Some are noble, some not so noble, some are overly proud, some are rash and some are careful and patient. The character Remtall, a vengeful and fiery gnome, reminded me a lot of the character Schaibar from the Arabian Nights story 'Prince Ahmed and The Fairy Perie Banou' - if you read both stories, I think you will understand why.
The author also manages to seamlessly integrate a great many fantasy races into his story, from golems to trolls, gnomes, dwarves, elves, ghosts and more - some so unexpected that I can't really say anything about them without spoiling the story a little. The monsters are also somewhat unique - there are giant centipedes and strange creatures from the sea, not your stereotypical fantasy-fare.
The author wraps up many of the loose ends of the previous book in The Prophecy of the Key, but there are numerous hints given as to what will come next for the world of Darkin. But given the author's tendency to throw you for a loop, who can really tell what will happen?
There are also some interesting themes regarding the spirit/force Gaigas, which is the source of magic or 'Vapoury' as it is called in Darkin. I will be very interested to see what the author reveals in the sequel, which is set to be released sometime this year (2013) I believe.

5,0 su 5 stelle Good second book

I have to admit that I purchased this book as soon as I finished the first in the series. My Ideal of a "series" book is that each book should be able to stand on its own merit. It must have a storyline that holds my interest, characters that are interesting, a solid beginning and most importantly... an ending. That is, the storyline must have a completion, yet still contain the thread that will make me want to read the next book. So far, TheDarkin Saga (books 1 and 2) has met this criteria.

Book 1 (Darkin: The Journey East) started the process. Book 2 (Darkin: The Prophecy of the Key) has continued it. Darkin: The Prophecy of the Key introduces a bevy of new characters. Although I read a review that had a complaint about “too many” new characters, I did not find that issue a great problem… I just had to pace my reading so that I didn’t miss their introduction. All the new characters were not central to the storyline, but did help “carry the load” of keeping the story moving. And it was fairly obvious that the "full story" of some of the new characters would be explained in a later book.

I am looking forward to Darkin 3: The Academy of Gaigas, the third book in the series. If books 1 and 2 are the example, book 3 will be a well written continuance of The Darkin Saga.

I enjoyed the book very much. It was a fun read as well as entertaining. I did get a little confused at times with the different names and trying to keep straight the good guys from the bad but all in all it was GOOD. I kept wanting to go faster so I could find out how it ended. I recommend you read book 1 first and then grab this one too.
