Summary: Magic kicks butt with this new additioin....
Comment: This book was fantastic!!! I've read all the Odyssey books and now putting onslaught into the picture is a great part the continuing story. Phage is a good part in the book you want her to turn back into Jeska but you hate her for some of the stuff she's done. Ixidor was cool but he died before he could make a major impact beyond making Akroma and killing Braids. Druid Kamahl was kool because I like staves but he seemed too docile now not spontaneous. I want Patter to just die, he was kool in Chainer's Torment but you really see his true side in Judgement and this book.
The only really bad parts was there wasn't enough fighting at the beginning and too much at the end. Also too many people are dying dang out of the Odyssey Cycle and this I count up 10 or 12 Legends that have died. But there is hope, there is probab;y two new Legends coming in with Stonebrow and Akroma and if they make that old hag a Legend I'll die of laughter (unless she's good). I play the card game and love the books if you play the game you'll love the book.

Summary: Very well crafted story!
Comment: This book, and series is one of the best I have read by R. King. The characters are really fleshed out and give you a real empathy for them. There isn't a ton of fighting as in his previous novels but where fighting is lacking, character interactions flourish.
I have enjoyed how he has carried on with Kamahl from "Chainers Torment" and tied in this story with the history of the Cabal.
There are many different characters in this book and all are well crafted.

Summary: Onslaught
Comment: Onslaught is a cool book. It has a lot of fighting in it that is fun to read. In this book, there are four main characters. Kamahl was a barbarian, but now he is a druid. Jeska, Kamahl's younger sister, has been turned into an evil person named Phage. Ixidor is a creator that makes things alive out of clay, painting, etc. Akroma is an angel that Ixidor had created in his dream. Ok, now that everyone is introduced, Onslaught is about Kamahl trying to bring Phage back to Jeska. Though, Ixidor wants to kill Phage, because she had killed his beloved, Nivea. So, Ixidor makes Akroma to slay Phage. However, Kamahl believes that Phage can become Jeska again and still believes that she is his sister. So, while Akroma tries to kill Phage, Kamahl protects her. Now, Kamahl and Phage ally to kill Akroma and Ixidor. So, they have this big was at the end to kill each other. It is a very complicated book, but if you read it you'll get.
I liked the book Onslaught, because it has a lot of cool fighting in it. There are pit fights and wars. J. Robert King explains the battles very well. So the reader won't get confused. J. Robert King also created these characters very well. He explains them in very good details. Another reason why I liked this book is that its plot is very interesting. Here is a quote from the book that explains a part while they are fighting, "Kamahl used his boot again, smashing it on the flat of the blade and shoving it ground-ward. The arm of the barbarian was too strong, though. The blade swept on. Putting all his weight on the boot, Kamahl stood on it and kicked his other foot into the barbarian's throat. He continued the motion, flipping backwards and landing out of reach, among piles of the dead." Onslaught is an exciting book.
Some things I disliked about the book was that it got a little too confusing at some parts. I had to read the same part over and over again. Here is a quote from the book about a confusing part, "The angel's feet struck the shaft and broke it into two. An explosion of green fire roared out of the shattered stalk. For a moment, it eclipsed Akroma, Kamahl, and Phage. When the initial blaze diminished, green force remained, clinging in viney lines to Akroma's legs. It emerged from the riven ends of Kamahl's staff and dragged her down." This part was confusing to me, because I did not know where the green vines came from and how. Then I found out it came from the staff at the broken ends. That part was only a small confusing part. Onslaught does actually have some misunderstanding parts.
My favorite part in Onslaught was the end where they have the massive war. It is my favorite part, because it had the most exciting and action parts. Some parts in the book had nothing fun. Though, at the end it had me reading and reading. I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in magic and action.
