Western Shore is definitely not a stand-alone entry in to the Aldabreshin Compass sequence. The first hundred and fifty pages have remarkably little to do with the next four hundred. The political wrangling within the first third of the book are assumedly setting up the final book, however it feels remarkably disjointed when the Western Shore plot embarks. The story of this entry offers nothing new, whereas the first books were fresh and exciting and the content is largely similar to that of the first two books. That all said, the character building is excellent and the action of the finale of the highest standard. There is enough here to ensure you read the final chapter, although this book will merely seem a stepping stone to get there. I found this book a reasonably enjoyable read but was at the same time quite disappointed with the quality and plot. I had a distinct sense of deja vu throughout the entire story feeling it was largely just the same story as book two with slightly different characters and setting. The style also became a bit grating as we continually dropped out of narative to hear the lead character's thoughts - most of which were either uninterestingly whiny or just blatantly obvious. I would actually prefer a bit more of the politics of the region and a bit less of the sword and sorcery - particularly if it's just gonna be the same thing each book in a different wrapping. An enjoyable read, but hopefully the final book in the series will be a bit different. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Warlord Daish Kheda has been building political alliances, working to consolidate power over his new realm. Although he has saved his people from the twin evils of wizardry and dragons, he feels tainted by association with forbidden magic and fears he may bring great ill-fortune to his people. So Kheda resolves to once more join his Northern wizard allies in the hope of removing the dragon threat once and for all, and to seek whatever purification he can find. Only time can tell whether he will be condemned for his actions, or whether magic is less a sin than he was brought up to believe ... He tells his son in secret that he may not return, and sets his face to the future. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
