I mostly liked this book, but it was hard to follow the story at times, or feel what was at stake due to the style of storytelling and lack of compelling stakes. There are different magic systems at work here, but it took awhile for me to work out how they worked because the story is told in two different timelines, the present, and a past timeline that explains how the characters eventually ended up in their current predicament. I felt like this form of storytelling, while an interesting exercise, didn't lend itself well to conveying what is currently at stake in the story, or why I should care about the characters. Because of those reasons, it took me a bit longer to read this book because I found it so hard to get into. It requires full concentration, and for more casual readers it might be a bit hard to follow. That being said, its not a bad book, and Martha Wells is definitely a powerhouse when it comes to creating new and interesting situations and characters. This is an action packed story, but without establishing empathy for all of the characters, some of the action falls flat. ( ) Was excited to read another book in a completely different setting/world than Murderbot from this author, but I gave up after a few chapters as there was just too many new things, names and concept to keep track of. It just felt exhausting really, even if the two main characters were intriguing. SO the 2 stars is for the potential showed by these characters, not for the overall book since I barely made a dent in it. Täielik üllatus minu jaoks. See ei olnud halb, aga ma ei suutnud. Umbes poole peale minust jäigi. Absoluutselt ei huvitanud lugu ja mingit seost ei tekkinud ka tegelastega. Umbes nagu kuulaksid raadiost muu tegevuse kõrvale vikerviise - otseselt ei sega, aga aju stimulatsioon täielik null. Ja ma armastan Murderboti lugusid! This is a complex second world fantasy with a heavy emphasis on complex politics. I quite like second world fantasy, I don't like complex politics. I also really struggled with the alternating times in the chapters, coming unmoored from the story on a regular basis. This is beautifully written, the characters are many and fascinating, and I did not love it. I felt about it much like I felt about *The Goblin Emperor*, with the difference that the writing and characters kept me going with this one, and for the other I did not love anything about it enough to stay invested. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
