"Equal rights for sentient weapons is a dream that will never die," Hyrm said solemnly. ( ) Tim Pratt returns to the Pathfinder Tales franchise with this Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser homage which is a rollicking adventure that retains Pratt's gift for sneaking in unexpected originality and characterisation. Rodrick is a swindler more than a thief. With his enchanted sword Hrym, the two are conning their way over Golarion. When a squishy priest and his nice-yet-creepy sidekick hire them to help find a religious artifact, it seems like easy money. But nothing is ever easy... This was a pretty good one. The debt to Lieber is clear and Pratt has a lot of fun with it. His banter is reasonable, but I found his situational comedy the most amusing. A pleasant bonus - as was the case with Pratt's previous Pathfinder book - is his efforts to render all the characters three dimensional, with their own struggles and goals etc. It lends the party and their interactions a depth that wouldn't be present otherwise, and it really elevates the book. This would count for little, of course, if it wasn't for Pratt's deft - almost seamless - sense of pace and structure. These are well built book's and the conclusion is very satisfying. It's hard to rate the Pathfinder books - I mean, no one would confuse this as high literature, but they are really good at delivering what they promise. On that metric, they are very successful indeed. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
With strength, wit, rakish charm, and a talking sword named Hrym, Rodrickhas all the makings of a classic hero -- except for the conscience.Instead, he and Hrym live a high life as scoundrels, pulling cons and partingthe weak from their gold. When a mysterious woman invites them along on a questinto the frozen north in pursuit of a legendary artifact, it seems like a primeopportunity to make some easy coin -- especially if there's a chance for adouble-cross. Along with a hooded priest and a half-elven tracker, the team setsforth into a land of witches, yetis, and ancient magic. As the miles wear on,however, Rodrick's companions begin acting steadily stranger, leading man andsword to wonder what exactly they've gotten themselves into... From Hugo Award-winner Tim Pratt, author of City of the Fallen Sky,comes a bold new tale of ice, magic, and questionable morality set in the worldof the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
