Best Book in the Series So Far

Revisado: 12-17-22

The maturity of Christopher Ruocchio’s world continues unabated as his mastery of his prose only increases. This book, coming on the tail of Kingdom’s of Darkness is the perfect completion of this stage in the life of Hadrian Marlowe. The audio, once again, read by Samuel Roukin brings each character to life in the vivid baritone of his performance. Come along dear listener, come along into the next act in the Sun Eater series.

Great finale

Revisado: 10-14-22

A wonderful end to the trilogy. Each character was so fully developed that it was impossible to not love them even as you hate them.

Reading this biography not only taught me a lot about St. Catherine but it made we want to be a better person.

Powerful

Revisado: 04-11-22

Occasionally there are books that once read fix themselves firmly within the very soul of the reader. This is one such book. Read it and relish the prose, the narrative, the structure, and the pacing. The wisdom within the story is timeless and something to cherish. The story is powerful and painful. But perhaps it’s that very pain which provides the story with such power. To my mind, it is masterwork within the genera.

A Bard walks into the wilderness

Revisado: 09-16-21

In this second day of the tale Rothfuss demonstrates that he can maintain the excellent prose that he revealed in his initial offering in this series. His creation of unique cultures, customs, lore, and even language is a credit to his broad creativity. The only stumbles, in my opinion, are that he lingers unnecessarily long on the youthful discovery of sexuality and an unbelievable cultural lacuna with respect to biology at one point. However, these do not overly take away from the total narrative and the reader is left with further questions to be answered, mysteries to be discovered, and hopes to be realized. Certain scenes are memorizing and many moments are so intense that pausing to exhale a breath unknowingly held becomes a frequent and necessary exercise.

Fantastic

Revisado: 07-20-21

This story is the best example of Esslemont’s writing to this point. The story is compelling and really interesting, particularly for readers of his Novels of the Malazan Empire and also Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen. The insights the reader gains into the deeper motivations and origins of key figures in the latter Malazan timeline is a welcome addition to the world these two authors have built.

Playful and serious

Revisado: 06-23-20

Erikson has written a masterpiece whereby he is able to combine whimsical character elements into a thoroughly serious and thought provoking narrative that does not diminish, but rather accentuates the gravity of that narrative, a true pleasure to read.
