Kings Sacrifice (Star of the Guardians)


Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book.

The first book of this series was incredibly slow, but it picked up enough towards the end to motivate me to read the second book. The second book was amazing, and I breezed through it in a matter of days only to eagerly pick up this. My thoughts on this book: Margaret Weiss has failed me.

I've loved everything I've read by her until Star of the Guardians. King's Sacrifice was complete sludge and was only interesting for maybe seventy pages. The only reason I didn't give up on it was that I enjo The first book of this series was incredibly slow, but it picked up enough towards the end to motivate me to read the second book. The only reason I didn't give up on it was that I enjoyed the second book and thought that maybe this third book would be like the first and get extremely good towards the end.

And the ending was the crummiest ending I've ever read. It wasn't a happy ending. It wasn't a tragedy. It was just a flat situation where none of the characters seemed to be satisfied with the results. Apparently, there's a fourth book, but I kind of don't want to waste my time with it, but I kind of do because I want some sense of closure that this book didn't offer. I'll decide that later.

I'm rather disappointed with this book. Some things were too easy. Like how Abdiel finally died, like how Maigrey called Sagan back to life. Given all the exhausting planning, horrifiying obstacles, and elaborated drama, I expected more than just - that. Anyway, still a good ending of a trilogy after all.

Jun 06, Sam rated it really liked it Shelves: Nov 17, Graham rated it really liked it Shelves: I read the Star of the Guardians trilogy for the first time when I was 17 years old - I had NO idea how much it subtly introduced new ideas into my life. The book list that one of the main characters, Maigrey, works through in part of the book, is one of the reasons I went on to become a book reader myself - Weiss used Sci Fi to open my mind to the world of books out there!

To this day, Charles Dickens is one of my favourite authors It's a sad story, all in all, with some strange theology and a world view that I no longer subscribe to.

In fact, I'm not sure I'm going to recommend the series to my own kids some day, and I'm not even sure if it's worth a 4 star rating, to be honest, but the series is certainly one of those that shaped me as a kid, and those are always memorable, aren't they?! Jan 23, Jim rated it liked it Shelves: This was a fine conclusion to a good trilogy.

I like it when authors can put a definite end to a story. I normally associate these authors with fantasy, but this is a really fun space opera trilogy.

Apr 27, Alexander Draganov rated it liked it. Great ideas and setting, painfully slow-moving plot. Kinda like book one really - the second one deceived me that there is a vast improvement in the series, but alas, we were back with the infodump for every freaking episodic character and zero action policy.

Feb 21, Stephen Schneider rated it really liked it. I read this series eons ago because I liked the Dragonlance novels that Ms. I remember liking this series but couldn't really remember the story. This time around I still enjoyed it but not as much as the Dragonlance series.
