I find this series increasingly reasonable to recommend to people. The quality and depth of the cultures in the book is excellent, and the storyline is compelling, though not flawless. Curious to see how it all ends! ( ) I thought this was going to be a filler book, but boy was I wrong. THere is another unfortunate cliffhanger ending. I don't think the writer is doing this to encourage readers to buy the next book, I think he thinks it's clever or something instead of just irritating. Anyway--despite the ending, I highly recommend either the Kindle or the audiobook versions of the book. Don't purchase them together thinking that they will stay synchronized--there's no whispersync on this one yet. I know many people read the first couple of books and then gave up, but I am glad that I continued. The previous books had a lot a of fantasy 'porn' that I could have lived without, but the characters and the world building made up for it. I find it difficult many times to form a picture in my mind of the world and characters in other fantasy books, but for some reason, Peter V. Brett managed to paint a colourful fantasy world with new cultures (yes I know it is based on some real world cultures, but it differs enough to be called 'new' cultures) and a magic system that is understandable and makes sense, and has limits. This book, the Skull Throne, thankfully has less fantasy porn, and more politics, but also a couple of battles. Sure, we didn't see so much of Arlen and Jardir, but they were still there. The last 100 or so pages flew past with twists and turns that I never would have guessed. Luckily, I have the last book on the shelf, and look forward to the conclusion of this story. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The first three novels in New York Times bestselling author Peter V. Brett's groundbreaking Demon Cycle series-The Warded Man, The Desert Spear, and The Daylight War-set a new standard for heroic fantasy. The powerful saga of humans winnowed to the brink of extinction by night-stalking demons, and the survivors who fight back, has kept readers breathless as they eagerly turned the pages. Now the thrilling fourth volume, The Skull Throne, raises the stakes as it carries the action in shocking new directions. The Skull Throne of Krasia stands empty. Built from the skulls of fallen generals and demon princes, it is a seat of honor and ancient, powerful magic, keeping the demon corelings at bay. From atop the throne, Ahmann Jardir was meant to conquer the known world, forging its isolated peoples into a unified army to rise up and end the demon war once and for all. But Arlen Bales, the Warded Man, stood against this course, challenging Jardir to a duel he could not in honor refuse. Rather than risk defeat, Arlen cast them both from a precipice, leaving the world without a savior, and opening a struggle for succession that threatens to tear the Free Cities of Thesa apart. In the south, Inevera, Jardir's first wife, must find a way to keep their sons from killing each other and plunging their people into civil war as they strive for glory enough to make a claim on the throne. In the north, Leesha Paper and Rojer Inn struggle to forge an alliance between the duchies of Angiers and Miln against the Krasians before it is too late. Caught in the crossfire is the duchy of Lakton-rich and unprotected, ripe for conquest. All the while, the corelings have been growing stronger, and without Arlen and Jardir there may be none strong enough to stop them. Only Renna Bales may know more about the fate of the missing men, but she, too, has disappeared. . . . No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
