Stephen R. Donaldson, the New York Times bestselling author of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, returns to the world of his Great God’s War fantasy epic as two kingdoms— united by force—prepare to be challenged by a merciless enemy…
It has been twenty years since Prince Bifalt of Belleger discovered the Last Repository and the sorcerous knowledge hidden there. At the behest of the repository's magisters, and in return for the restoration of sorcery to both kingdoms, the realms of Belleger and Amika ceased generations of war. Their alliance was sealed with the marriage of Bifalt to Estie, the crown princess of Amika. But the peace--and their marriage--has been uneasy.
Now the terrible war that King Bifalt and Queen Estie feared is coming. An ancient enemy has discovered the location of the Last Repository, and a mighty horde of dark forces is massing to attack the library and take the magical knowledge it guards. That horde will slaughter every man, woman, and child in its path, destroying both Belleger and Amika along the way.
With their alliance undermined by lingering hostility and conspiracies threatening, it will take all of the monarchs' strength and will to inspire their kingdoms to become one to defend their land, or all is lost....

Review
I think Donaldson is writing with a future television adaptation in mind. Yes, it’s more straight forward that what we are used to from him, but it’s fun! Seriously this story is lots of fun and super easy to get lost in if you let yourself. I see huge potential in what he’s setting up and am already sad I’m going to finish The War Within in the next couple days and be waiting once again. - I truly enjoyed this story and look forward to the next adventure, highly recommended for everyone, Mr. Donaldson has a way to keep you involved.
- Stephen is an amazingly creative storyteller and I love the depth of the worlds he creates. But damn, he gets way too sucked into re-hashing the same character descriptions and conflicts over and over and over again. Don't TELL us, SHOW us. His earlier writing had much better pacing and exposition, and you will find flashes of that in this book - unfortunately it's thinly sandwiched between a lot of really monotonous brooding.
- This is some high-octane Donaldson -- I liked this book much better than the first installment (Seventh Decimate) -- and I like that one quite a lot. Donaldson kicks the LOST-like mysteries into high gear. What is REALLY going on? What is everyone REALLY up to? What are their true motivations? Wheels within wheels within wheels .... I was counting down the days until this appeared on my . I was not disappointed. I am a huge, huge fan of the Covenant series -- I like this series the most so far out of all his non-Land works. Two thumbs way up!! Bring on the next volume!!
- Awesome! Outstanding! Wow! Just pick exclamation at random. Stephen Donaldson is my favorite author, so I might be a bit bias. LOL. Actually, this is probably the best non-covenant book of his he has written. I too could see mini - series adaptation, even though he might not have consciously intended that. Book 1 - The Seventh Decimate - was a great start to this trilogy and The War Within a wonderful continuation. It's going to be a long 18+ months!
The characters are so well crafted, full of such mystery and depth. Depth. That's what I like in Donaldson's works. You can't just skim read or zone out read this book. You have to pay attention. I always re-read for the things missed the first time. This is just a great series. Consider picking it up. You shouldn't be disappointed.
