My favorite quote so far, from Tinwright's mother: "Didn't the good book always say people are to be sausaged?""Solaced, mother, solaced"
I'll write a review when I finish the "4th" book, Shadowheart.
This continues to be a great, sprawling epic. It's not exactly a quick read, though. I found myself able to put it down and read other books, but I was always able to come back to it and instantly know right where I'd left off and what was happening. It's because of Williams' characters. He creates real people, and the instant you see their name, you know exactly what they're doing. The one problem I have with this book/series is Barrick. Him wandering around with the gross raven was the only
This series continues to be something of an enigma, but not in the usual sense of the word. Sure, there's a number of great reveals in this volume that let us dive deeper and deeper into what the gods are and what they were and how they work. We understand the god's children, the Fae who are bursting out into this fantasy land and displacing or killing the lesser, or rather, quite equal humans.There's even a great deal of good action and epic battles and tons of court intrigue and traveling on
The puzzle is starting to take shape; such an intricate story with so many threads and such a delight to decipher! Barricks story is the best in this volume: from a whinny, crippled adolescent, he becomes a powerful young man, but everything comes with a price.Briony is heading home to regain the kingdom from the hands of traitorous Tolly. She has learned a few things while away so she becomes a tough young lady.Meanwhile, the mad Autarch of Xis is on his way to Southmarch, where he plans to
Yes, that's right, I've juiced this rating to four stars, because as my band teacher taught, avoid the middle of the road. No, actually, the first book was a crappy two star, while the second was a borderline three, and this book is really getting better. Highlights (my laptop is dying) include his ever-improving depiction of madman Autarch Sulepis from the POV of his incredibly normal prime minister and the unbelievably satisfying way in which he wraps up the book with Barrick's storyline
