I find the desanti very interisting.I would love anyone's opinion on them.Into A dark realm And Wrath of a mad god I think will be one of his best books
 
I find them extremely strange and refreshingly new. Just feel Feist's taking a different approach to this Series than the others. Not so much on the royal families, just based upon Pug and the conclave (i think that's what they are called, haven't read the book for a while). The thing i'm looking forward to is finding out what happens to Miranda more than the Desanti
 
Miranda has proven herself quite resourceful in former situations.As for the Desanti I feel that they have had a destructive history (some may have remorse but very littel).But Feist has again amazed me by his caracter creation and munipulation.
 
All the hints that Feist has given to us suggest that the Desanti will act first and ask questions later. The are very destructive and powerful, and that is where i feel Feist has accomplished something refreshing. He had the Tsurani,then the Pantanthians, then the lizard things (again cannot remember off the top of my head :confused:). Suppose they are getting more powerful as the series goes by,think about next series. Don't think they'll fight the Gods???
 
you are talking about the "dasati"?

what i find nice about them is the fact the nakor points out, the world the dasati live on is a place evil has won and there is NO balance. thus meaning good can win on Mid...

the fact their worlds are the same its interesting
 
Dasati is the right spelling, my apologies. Good point about the fact the worlds are the same, maybe it is just the same world as you go down the hells?
 
:eek:Sorry about the spelling.I love the fact that all living things on the Dasanti worlds (12 of them I think) have evolved to such a state that not even the plants are defenceless.

i made the mistake of sadly reading the books out of order...

i didn't know what was right and just bought Into a Dark relm before reading 1) flight of the night hawks
2) All of the conclave series....

but after reading them ALL now.... man i can't wait untill october for Mad god... it will be awesome


hail Macros' return
 
The Dasati are an interesting race, particularly the chapters where we see things from their perspective, Feist did a good job of creating a race with a truly alien viewpoint. I thought the bits in Into A Dark Realm on the Dasati world were some of the best stuff Feist has written in year, it is just a pity that the Midkemia-set parts of the book were extremely mediocre for the most part.
 
The Dasati are a very well thought through race, they show that evil may have won but good is still present....The tinyest bit of light can overcome darkness...

I like the way the children are all pretty much brainwashed into following "tradition" and "culture" but then there is still enough intelligence to resist and see that the ways are wrong...

It is said in Into a Dark Realm (IDR from now on) that the land masses and seas are exactly the same as midkemia....on one of the worlds, its just the names that change....

It's been nearly a year since i read that book!:D Going to read it again soon
 
Hawke I think i may know to what you are alluding to, when the Dasati and Midkemia worlds somehow seem the same.

When Pug and his entourage arrive in the Dasati realm and hook up with the Dasati that turn to the good side(*Luke I am your Father....*) he retires to one the rooms and is atonished to see how similar the scene was to that of Crydee when he was young. I think this is when he realises that Dasati and Midkemia co-exsist in parallel universes...well thats how I figured it made sense if any others can shred some light be much appreciated....:)

I have literally just finished reading Into a Dark Realm and I think I've found what you were talking about, in my copy (Hardback) its on page 328 and its when the party are in Kosridi in the Dasati realm...they go onto a parapet of a castle or something and the book reads:

Pug could see the rolling vista of the town beyond the castle, and the ocean below that. Then it struck him that there was something familiar about what he was seeing.
Nakor said, "I've only been to a place like this once before, years before when Prince Nicholas had to sail after..."
Pug cut him off "Its Crydee," he said softly.
"It looks a lot like Crydee," said Nakor.

The book then says (A couple of sentences later)

"I don't know. In one sense, I guess it means we're back home, just on a different plane of reality."
Pug began asking Naureen and Martuch questions about the geography of the region and quickly came to understand that Kosridi was Midkemia, only on the second plane of reality.

Hope that helps people understand what I was getting at :)
