A life filled with ice and the struggle to survive in a world readying for the darkest of nights. What a series. I have few words to describe how easily these books drew me in, wrapped me in fur warmth and then left me reeling in the blizzard of hope and hopelessness. In the past week I devoured four books in this series like a man left in a storm starving and cannot wait to read more. This was too graphic for me. Not necessarily brutal violence graphic, but everything negative, from emotions such as hate/fear/anger, to the descriptions of frozen/broken/battered flesh, to bad habits [ie, curd chewing, crass talk] just left me feeling very yucky. Which is unusual. I finished it, but nothing in it makes me want to read another book by J.V. Jones. I read this book (first in the Sword of Shadow series) many years ago and stalled after the second book because Jones hadn't finished writing the series. I remember really loving this story arc, and was surprised to find it even more enjoyable the second time through. This first book is an excellent introduction to a long story arc. (In fact book 5 is due to be released this fall (2012). It is too bad that there are such long delays between book releases.) With that said, this is a wonderful fantasy series. I liked it as much as Goodkind's Sword of Truth early books and Jordan's Wheel of Time. The descriptions are rich, the setting in a cold climate unique, and the primary and secondary characters very interesting. I highly recommend this book to those who like fantasy stories with a big story arcs with plenty of interesting characters. Magic, so far, plays a very small role, but that may change further down the story line. This story relies more heavily on character development and relationships. Hats off to Jones for this wonderful start to a potentially very interesting series. Looking forward to the next installment of Sword of Shadow! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
