"Margaret Weis, the bestselling author of many epic adventure fantasies, is at her best in The Seventh Sigil. Five hundred years ago, a clan of rebels was banished to the bottom of the world; ever since, these Bottom Dwellers have sought revenge, and now they are waging all-out war on the rest of humanity, those who live Above. Their deadly "contramagic" beams destroy buildings and attack naval airships, and their magical drumming brings terrible storms and disrupts the magic of the people and dragons Above. The attack of their full contramagic power will create a magical armageddon. In an effort to prevent further death, the reunited Dragon Brigade will take the fight to the Bottom. But strength of arms alone will not be enough to conquer their foe. As the Bottom Dwellers' blood magic eats away at the world, those Above realize their only possible defense lies in the heretical secrets of contramagic. Loyal priests must decide whether to protect the Church, or risk its destruction in pursuit of the truth. Only the Dragon Brigade can keep the world from plunging into an endless dark age. Their epic battle will test the mettle of those thrown into the breach, and determine the fate of this magical world"--… (más)
Successful and satisfying conclusion to the Dragon Brigade series where the story lines of the Cadre of the Lost are wrapped up and the dragon brigade is reformed under Captain Stephano de Guichen who leads the brigade to the Bottom Dwellers threatening the world. As in all great fantasy, politics and religion come to a head in a humorous and satisfying conclusion. From start to finish, I enjoyed this series. ( )
The thrilling conclusion of the Dragon Brigade trilogy is everything a fan of the first two books will want. As the world goes to war and the countdown to the final plans of the Bottom Dwellers begins, the Cadre of the Lost find themselves in the middle of world-changing events. With Princess Sophia and the Countess de Marjolaine entangled in events as well, the hope of the world rests on the shoulders of a few. Agents in Rosia, Freya, and the Church who know the threat their societies are facing set aside old enmity to join forces. Even then, all may come down to Stephano’s plan to bring the final fight (or a large portion of it) to Glassearch before the true invasion of the Bottom Dwellers begins. Concurrently, father Jacob and Rodrigo begin to understand the seventh sigil and its interaction with the six sigils of magic and the six of contramagic, a horrific truth hidden by the church, and the possibility of magic stronger than any that humans (including the people of Glassearch) use at present.
