Review by The Midwest Book Review
The second
volume in Clifford Bowyer's "Fall of the Imperium" trilogy, The Changing
Tides continues the story of an ancient tyrant returning to the Seven
Kingdoms and those that would have confronted him have been deftly
eliminated. Continuing a complex saga begun with "The Impending Storm"
(the first volume of the trilogy), Empress Karleena has been abducted, and
with her gone the hopes for the unification of the races is dashed.
Warlord Brakis has been slain by his past. Admiral Morex, hero of the
Imperium is lost at sea. The Madrew elf Kai is sent into a fold in time
and space, leaving the one child that could possibly defeat the tyrant
alone. The true intentions of Zoldex have yet to be revealed, but it seems
that the Imperium is doomed. The Changing Tides finds that only the little
band of heroes that include Solara (a mystral warrior sworn to serve and
protect Braksis), Thamar (a dwarven hero), and Adonis (the leader of ISIA)
who have survived in the aftermath of all these disasters are all that the
Seven Kingdoms have to stave off total disaster -- and they each have
incredible obstacles they must overcome. Clifford Bowyer writes with
originality and imagination, creating a complex world of memorable
characters, scenarios, and action that engage and keep the reader's
attention from first page to last -- and looking eagerly toward the third
and concluding volume of this impressive and enthusiastically recommended
heroic fantasy story arc.
