Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Every page of this book adds to the richness of the story being told and will captivate you. It is used to add texture, and makes sense.

The central characters are all fleshed out, with motivations, strengths and flaws. Bad things happen to good people, who then avenge themselves upon the villains - to the degree that they are able. The villains are just as well thought out and complex... Read More

Quality

I was immediately impressed with the quality of the narrator's voice, which i understand day spent some time seeking out.

Although there were some parts that were written not as eloquent as possible, this story was unbelievably gripping.

The binding of the book is not good, it already separated.

Price

It was longer than i was used to but it all paid off in the end.

Packaging/appearance

Enjoyable in ebook, or hardcover, best when bound in fine leather by castalia library.

Competitiveness

Many readers are drawing comparisons between vox day's book here and george rr martin's ice and fire series.

Unlike lotr, this book (as well as its sequel), especially the big battle sequences, read more like war and peace and less like leviticus.
