Great story again
Rezensiert am: 16.11.2021
very good story from Eriksen. the narrator was also very good and made the voices distinct enough even with such a large cast. The last part of the book had such real violence (non-gorey) that I need a short break before Memories of Ice (book 3) but I will definitely continue with the series.

Geschichte4.5 out of 5 stars 235
The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins.

a great and complex story! very intriguing .
Rezensiert am: 22.06.2021
I enjoyed the story a lot.. I had heard of Malazan's complexity and I was not disappointed. It was a little confusing at first (the initial 30% o f the book) but intriguing so I continued listening. After that, it became much clearer and I could see threads and plotlines coming together. If you can get over that initial hump, you will be rewarded.

i struggled to start, but once I got oaste the first 1-2 chapters it was such an amazing experience. the different elements are so very carefully crafted. there was also an impressive amount of world-building for such a short novel. everything felt very well contained too and no loose ends left about. highly recommended. the speaker was very good as well

Guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia, they came from the sea: a Tangle of serpents fighting their way up the Rain Wilds River, the first to make the perilous journey to the cocooning grounds in generations. Many have died along the way. With its acid waters and impenetrable forest, it is a hard place for any to survive.

Rezensiert am: 28.02.2021
good enough story but the ending was anti-climatic. I feel like it didn't not really go anywhere - still setting up the world/characters even though it's a large book. the reader is a little fast but good.

Geschichte4.5 out of 5 stars 675
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

A heartfelt story!
Rezensiert am: 18.03.2020
A re-imagination of the Illiad. A more human (yet still heroic) side of Achilles and his most beloved Patroclus. I recommend it!!
my only problem was in finishing the story because I knew of the Illiad's plot and I didn't not wish it to be true.

They came against her as a child. Now they face the woman. The ice is advancing, the Corridor narrowing, and the empire is under siege from the Scithrowl in the east and the Durns in the west. Everywhere, the emperor’s armies are in retreat. Nona faces the final challenges that must be overcome if she is to become a full sister in the order of her choice. But it seems unlikely that Nona and her friends will have time to earn a nun’s habit before war is on their doorstep.

Holy sister is a perfect end to an amazing series. Many (not all) threads of the story first presented in Red Sister and Grey Sister are tied together in the end.

Not great
Rezensiert am: 29.04.2019
The first story was interesting but too short. I missed what the point of telling it was. There is no connection to the next ones and there was no real action/consequence. The second story was the worst and really pointless. I actually liked the third story (it was the longest). it was a stand alone plot. I think the connection of each to Eragon's was not necessary. The end seemed like something the author wanted to use at the end of Inheritance but didn't.

Warbreaker is the story of two sisters who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn't like his job, and the immortal who's still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren's capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can be collected only one unit at a time from individual people.

The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave listeners shaking their heads in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

This last book is the culmination of everything set up in the previous two books. The ending is bittersweet but fair.
