Commentary During Books Crusader (The Wayfarer Redemption #6)
From epic fantasy author Sara Douglass comes Crusader, The sixth book in The Wayfarer Redemption seriesFor countless millennia the Star Dance and the TimeKeeper Demons have battled their way across the universe, destroying innumerable planets, laying waste to civilizations across the cosmos.
Choosing the land of Tencendor as their last battleground, the demons break through the Star Gate. The Gate destroyed, all magic in the world is gone and the three races of Tencendor are plunged into a vortex of chaos, madness, and death.
Caelum SunSoar, son of the near-immortal Starman Axis and beloved ruler of all the land's peoples, is dead. Leaderless, those not killed outright or driven mad flee to the one place left to them, Sanctuary, a magical place created ages past to shield all who are good from the wrath of the demons.
There is for some one hope left: DragonStar, Axis's other son. Many believe he is the true StarSon, the only being that can save their world. Others are just as convinced that he is in league with the demons and will be their doom. Only DragonStar knows the truth and as he and his companions go forth to do battle he prays that he may convince all that his motives are pure.
What he does not know is that there is a traitor who plans to hand Sanctuary over to the Demons. A betrayer whose actions could force DragonStar to make a sacrifice so bloody and horrific that it could mean the destruction of everything that he holds dear in this life or the next.
And if he fails, he could doom Tecendor to an eternal hell.

5 StarsCrusader is the sixth book in The Wayfarer Redemption series by Sara Douglass. When this book was released back in in mid 1990s, when I first read it, it was originally called Battleaxe and was book one of the Axis Trilogy- the series later got expanded and so the name change. Part of my 2019 reading challenge was to read an Australian author- well how do I narrow that down, there are so many great Aussie authors, but Ms. Douglass was one of the first Aussie authors whose work I fell inI was struggling to make it through this book, after reading the five previous. I could see at the beginning that they were going to win the battle with their moralistic high ground against the bad demons. I hate it when books start preaching a message about why good people are good and how love wins over all, always blah blah blah. But I was sticking with it ok. Until Raspu turned into a butler, with his own uniform and staff to run. I really started skimming the words when it detailed his two
Wrapping up from the first five books, does that make this a sextology? Maybe better stick with a sextet ;)There seems to be plenty of action in this book, but sometimes point-of-view changes are so rapid, they serve to remind that we are tying loose ends into a whole. It gets in the way a bit.
This series was long and at times extremely painful. Many of the characters are completely unlikable, the magic inconsistently powerful and at times just downright silly/nonsensical. On the whole though, some parts of the series were really good and it all ties together (mostly) at the end. The ending is weird. It's not the happy ending you expect, but it is a happy ending.I don't think I'd recommend this series to anyone. It's just long and frustrating and when you get to the end it kind of
A poor conclusion to a mediocre trilogy, and not wholy worth further comment.
No sympathy at all for Wolfstar this time around.
