Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. The archipelago of Cynnahu was just waiting for me. Having read Ursula LeGuin "The Earthsea Cycle", I was intrigued by another series that might flow along the same lines. I was not disappointed. Another group of adventurers out to save the world. Volcan, Sakura, Myrriden and the rest of the group all get fleshed out well in the book and as the story progresses with each member of the team doing their part, the reader gets dragged deeper into a wonderful story. Fighting, magic and the Naga adversary all combine to make the story flow well and keep the reader intrigued. I finished this part of the story wishing the next book was already in my hands. Grab this book and read about the "Team of Five"; the Traveler, Orphan, Survivor, Student and Lord will all create a wonderful adventure for you. Kudos - looking forward to the rest of the story. ( )I mean, obviously I love my own book. So instead of writing a review - which an author cannot (for obvious reasons) do - I will just say that I owe The Cynnahu Saga to the late Ursula K. Le Guin whose Archipelago (in her Earthsea Cycle) inspired me to create my own.
"Adler created a rich and imaginative world populated with interesting and well-developed characters encompassing the depth of their history and mythology. Fans of the fantasy genre will be enthralled by the level of detail and visual delights that bring this story to life, pulling the reader right into the action...focus[ing] not only on war and action but the wisdom and strategy the young characters, Emrys and Sakura, must face when solving puzzles and challenges...While this action-packed, strategic tale follows what many readers may find to be a familiar fantasy storyline, it's a rich, vibrant tale with unique characters and a fantastic world will keep you looking forward to the next installment." "Adler has built a complex and detailed fantasy world full of adventure and excitement that keeps readers turning the pages. The author provides explanations of what people perform in their jobs that go along with their titles, such as Dragon Guardians, Isle Masters, Loremasters, and Mages, to name a few. A strong and ideal cast of characters who are dealing with grief, sacrifice, tricky interactions, and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds populate the story. The characters also undertake risks, whether it is being involved in battles where magic plays a part or in trying to overcome outside forces and internal challenges when it comes to solving the secret code in ancient writings... The Last War is a gripping fantasy story that pulls readers into a magical world with nonstop action and suspense that revolves around an armed confrontation of epic proportions. " "A fantasy novel replete with magic, lore, and epic stakes, The Last War by Ian E.S. Adler is a classic questing adventure in the richly imagined world of Nim-Semalf. The Order of mages and the entire archipelago they protect faces invasion by the naga, catapulting five unlikely companions into the fiery crucible of destiny. Amidst ancient riddles, embattled dragon shrines, fearless storm swords, and the mysterious motives of Archmages, the fast-moving plot is enthralling, as is this new realm taking shape before readers' eyes. Built on an elaborate mythology and supported by a classic fantasy plot of ultimate victory vs. complete annihilation, this first book in The Cynnahu Saga is a knockout start to a new series."

A scream cut across the sky... Long ago a horrific war was fought between the native Dragonkin and invading humanity, a war that shattered into islands the continent on which they struggled. Now the descendants of the victorious humans must face a different yet still very old threat as the mireborn Naga, the snake-folk of Nag Isle, are again amassing their Black Fleet to send against them. An ancient prophecy speaks of a time when the Archipelago of Cynnahu must fight its Last War against the Naga, a time when five individuals - Traveler, Orphan, Survivor, Student, and Lord - will set sail to rediscover the secret of the Elder Song. Myrriden, the footsore mage and single father. Sakura, an orphaned and homeless girl seeking vengeance. Volcan Darkrod, the enigmatic Fire Mage. Emrys, Myrriden's nervous son. Archmage Hoth, the unflappable Leader of the Cynnahu folk. Guided by an ancient riddle recently uncovered by the famed Loremaster Aneirin, these chosen five must a run a race of swords, spells, and dusty scrolls - for while the Elder Song was crafted to summon the primeval power of the Dragonkin, it has, down to its very name, been forgotten. Will the courage and wits of two eleven-year-olds and three vastly different mages be enough to free purposefully hidden secrets from forces older than the Isles themselves and reunite the scattered Song while fighting a desperate war on land and sea? Only one thing is certain: humanity stands at doom's edge and time is against them. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
