I found the geography too vast and complex, and the included maps don't help much because they have too much detail. ( ) The story as alright, but nothing to really draw you in. The book also could have been much shorter. Kirkpatrick spends countless pages just describing scenery. It seems his interest is more in the world and not the story which might come from his background in map making. I doubt I will finish the series as the first book did little to make me get through the next two books. I don't want my review of only 2 stars to scare people off. I see the reviews on this have been very mixed, some people think it's wonderful, others believe there is too much environmental description and not enough character development. I believe those were some of the same criticisms we've heard about Tolkien, and yet that story is regarded as a cornerstone of fantasy. While I just could not get into this one, it was not bad, it just wasn't what I was hoping for. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: From a tiny snowbound village, five men and women begin a dangerous quest to challenge darkness, fulfill a prophecy and change the course of their world's history. For 2000 years, Kannwar, the Immortal Destroyer, Lord of Bhrudwo, has been planning revenge on the Most High. Mahnum has escaped the Destroyer's prison, but on his way home to Loulea, he and his wife are captured. His sons, Leith and Hal, set off in pursuit with a small group of villagers to free their parents and to warn their world of the coming war. But not all of the Company agree that so few can make a difference.or think that anyone will listen to them. Across the Face of the World is a remarkable feat of storytelling - a dazzling epic from a stunning new talent. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
