Under the Crimson Sun by Keith R. DeCandido Under the Crimson Sun is a stand-alone novel and the second book released in the newly relaunched Dark Sun series of novels based on the Dark Sun setting of Dungeons and Dragons. This book also ties into The Abyssal Plague trilogy, but is only a stand-alone novel and is not a part of the trilogy. This is the only instance of the plague being in the Dark Sun universe. Keith R. DeCandido has written a vast amount of novels for various shared universes. He has also written a large number of short stories, essays, and comic books, along with editing various anthologies and collections. All Gan wants to do is meet up with his sister, Feena. But Gan gambled away their means of travel causing the three to walk through the desert to the city of Raam, where Feena and her employer, the Serthlara Traveling Emporium merchant company, are currently. After weeks of travel, the three finally find the road leading to Raam. However, they come across a caravan being attacked by a group of bandits, and they decide to intervene, in hopes of gaining a quicker passage to Raam. After saving the caravan, they are allowed to come on to help guard it. However, as night falls, Rol discovers a body in the desert and becomes infected by some sort of plague from the Abyss. After an unusual feat of strength from Rol, they are taken captive by a slaver traveling with the caravan and brought to the city of Urik. The slavers force them into the gladiatorial arena named the Pit of Black Death, but soon the infected Rol becomes bigger than any of them suspected. Thankfully, Gan's sister senses something wrong and sets out with the emporium to find her lost brother. The problem is, what she finds isn't something the emporium can easily con. It also doesn't help that Rol becomes something that has never been seen on the surface of Athas. Criticisms: 1 Characters. Under the Crimson Sun has a problem with the amount of characters in it. Truth be told, there was just too many side characters. The problem with having too many side characters is that the main characters don't get enough time in the spotlight to really develop. In this story, only one or two characters really do feel like they were developing. The problem is, they weren't any of the main characters. This problem really stems from having a new character being introduced every chapter, only to be there for that chapter. When this happens, those characters are the main focus of the chapter and it doesn't allow for the main characters to really be the focus, like they should be. It seemed like the majority of the chapters in Under the Crimson Sun feature new characters. The main characters do have some scenes within these chapters, but they aren't the main focus. For the rest of the chapter, the side characters take up most of it. This makes you start to like a character, but suddenly they are gone. The best examples are chapter one, which focuses on a high-born nobleman, and chapter six, which focuses on a gladiator. These chapters do add to the story, but also take away from who the story is supposed to focus on. They still are good chapters that help develop the setting and story. However, the main characters suffer because of the lack of attention. The ending of Under the Crimson Sun had this disappointing suddenness to it. It just ended. There were a lot of things left undone and ends on a semi-cliffhanger. It is disappointing. The rest of the novel builds up to this big event, and it almost feels like the story doesn't know how to Under the Crimson Sun: Dark Sun: The Abyssal Plague (Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Sun). There wasn't any payoff, other than one thing happening that was bound to happen. The story really feels like it sold itself short, in some way. The climatic final battle had this jittery, randomness to it that didn't make it coherent. Instead, one character offers up something but it's never really told what his plan was. It works but you don't know what happened or why it works. Then you have the end of the story. It's like nothing was resolved and there are a lot of things that were left unanswered. While some novels pull this off in a way to not really draw attention to the unanswered questions, Under the Crimson Sun almost screams it to the reader. It feels incomplete. The ending didn't feel like an end, instead it just ended with a lot of questions still in the air and it doesn't have the resolved feeling to it. Praises: 1 Characters. While there may be too many characters, the characters in Under the Crimson Sun were interesting and different. They didn't really feel like the normal fantasy characters. Instead of using brawn to accomplish their goals, they used brains Under the Crimson Sun: Dark Sun: The Abyssal Plague (Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Sun) tricks to do it. This felt different from the norm. There still was plenty of fighting, but it felt secondary to planning. Even though most of the main characters weren't developed enough to really be likable, they still had an impact and were enjoyable. The characters were pretty much defined by certain attributes and personalities, and it worked well enough. The weakest character seemed to be Rol, mostly because he was never really developed and only felt like the host for the Voidharrow. There seemed to be times when he could have been so much more, but the opportunities weren't jumped upon. Gan is an interesting character. For the whole novel he's remorseful for some events that happen, but it doesn't really affect his overall attitude. He can't stop talking and for some reason, that just made him enjoyable. I was actually having fun reading him rambling on. Aside from the two main characters, the characters from Serthlara Traveling Emporium were interesting as well.
