Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) jazzbird61 | Feb 29, 2024 |  The worldbuilding is easy-going, doesn't take too many complex concepts at once, the action sometimes happens between the stories more than in the stories themselves. Hearne has started a truly epic fantasy here... (  ) cwebb | Feb 5, 2024 |  ) pacbox | Jul 9, 2022 | I admit that I began it some months ago in an advanced reader's copy, and then I dithered. I set it down. I never quite came back to it. Finally, a long plane trip offered an opportunity to really spend time with it and the storytelling did not disappoint. I love the structure of the book -- bard telling stories from many viewpoints about an epic war, with an undercurrent character to balance out the flow and give us more context on the politics of the world. I love the costs and payments for the magical system -- it's extreme, but feels fitting and balanced. The peoples are strange and interesting as well. While there is some George RRMartin-esque character murder, that also feels appropriate to the story. I'm still not in love with the series nature of this book, but I admire the deft handling of the storytelling, which actually leaves us clearly at the end of one arc and the beginning of a second. I await the sequel with pleasure. Advanced readers copy provided by edelweiss. (  ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | ) Ahsoka3230 | Feb 15, 2022 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
