Its not five-stars because there are one or two rough patches. But everything about this book suits me - pacing, characterizations, plot, props/objects, background, world-building, writing style. ( ) Simply put, this is one of my favorite books of all time. I'd recommend this book to anyone. There's wizardry, but that's not what the story is about. There's fighting, but that's not what the story about. The story is about a simple man trying to be just that, only circumstances keep him from being able to achieve that. The journey is at once enjoyable, and sad. A book I've read repeatedly, and the first ebook I downloaded. A great start to the Ethshar series. I really enjoyed this book. As fantasy novels go, this is short and to the point. The main character is an ordinary person with some small talent for magic and a seriously flawed sword. Not a superhero with the ultimate weapon, which makes this more interesting than the run of the mill fantasy. I found this book through Joseph Mallozzi's blog / book club. It sounded interesting, and I liked that the author took the time to answer the questions. The general impression sounded good and it sounded like an interesting book in the fantasy genre that didn't just throw around the same plot and cliches. (It has new cliches and a distinct refusal to accept the common fantasy plot.) I really enjoyed the book, and found it a refreshing look at a fantasy setting. I really like that the focus of the story was not on saving the world and defeating an overpowering enemy. It focuses on a character and how the character is changed by magic and war. I am always interested in books that take conventions of the genre and do different and new things with them. I'm also interested in good standard treatments though. I am not sure that I could count the number of treatments of Lord of the Rings that I've read. The story is well written and goes by quickly. The story really focuses on one character more or less but the other people you meet along the way keep things interesting also. I enjoyed the book enough that I went and bought the second book in the series. Apparently this is one of the author's less successful series, so if the second book is also good I think I'll look into tracking down some of his more popular stuff. Anyway, another book to get if you notice it somewhere! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Ethshar and the Northern Empire have been at war for hundreds of years. No one remembers why anymore or over what. No one dreams it could ever end until a wizard creates a sword that makes its user unbeatable... No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
