Sometimes very silly. Obviously there’s the second to last book which we won’t talk about with all the craziness.But this was very good, really looking forward to the third book in the series…I care about the characters! Happy Birthday Mom! (  ) BooksForDinner | Jun 4, 2022 | This book is good epic fantasy. The characters are excellent and the plot is always interesting. There may be a little bit too much confusion though, when things happen to the characters, we are just as surprised as they are, as all of the opposing forces do not appear directly. We don't even know the identity of the leaders. This makes it a little confusing to follow the military situation, as everything the opposing forces do is mostly described indirectly. This is very typical Feist style, as he's fond of having protagonists and plots that are hidden. Very good epic fantasy, if you enjoy that style. At least we are spared pages and pages of angst and anguish by those protagonists on epic length evil monologues or putting up with reading about characters we hate. Points in Feist's favor not making us go through that like some authors. (  ) Karlstar | Jan 3, 2022 | The first book ended with Hatu and Hava finally resting comfortably in an out-of-the-way town with their new friend Declan and his soon-to-be bride, Gwen. Hatu and Hava, having trained all their lives as assassins, find themselves VERY comfortable with the idea of being married, as innkeepers. Of course, that bucolic scene was never going to last. This is Feist. Tragedies come as easily as the brushfire of war. We spent the last novel enjoying small trials and tribulations, growth as characters, small skirmishes, much greater secrets, and plans within plans... but now, all plans have gone to hell. Indeed, the whole nation goes to hell. Reading this so soon after the first novel, I felt very emotional about many of the things that happened. It affected me pretty hard. No spoilers. But... yeah. All the best-laid plans... As for all you folks who like to know a little taste of the thing to come... prepare yourself for life on the sea. The Queen of Storms, indeed. Tons of action, tons of upsets, and be prepared for a novel as dark and desperate as the first was genuinely hopeful. Feist is a master storyteller. I've read most of his books and he always pulls off a great tale. :) He's at the top of his game with these, too. ( ) bradleyhorner | Jun 1, 2020 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Dark and powerful forces threaten the world of Garn once more in this second novel in legendary New York Times bestselling author Raymond E. Feist's epic fantasy series, the Firemane Saga. Hatushaly and his young wife Hava have arrived in the prosperous trading town of Beran's Hill to restore and reopen the fire-damaged Inn of the Three Stars. They are also preparing for the popular midsummer festival, where their friends Declan and Gwen will be wed. But Hatu and Hava are not the ordinary loving couple they appear to be. They are assassins from the mysterious island of Coaltachin, home to the powerful and lethal Nocusara, the fearsome "Hidden Warriors." Posing as innkeepers, they are awaiting instructions from their masters in the Kingdom of Night. Hatu conceals an even more dangerous secret. He is the last remaining member of the legendary Firemanes, the ruling family of Ithrace. Known as the Kingdom of Flames, Ithrace was one of the five greatest realms of Tembria, ruled by Hatu's father, Stervern Langene, until he and his people were betrayed. His heir, Hatu-then a baby-was hidden among the Nocusara, who raised him to become a deadly spy. Hatu works hard to hide his true identity from all who would seek to use or to destroy him, as fate has other plans for the noble warrior. Unexpected calamity forces him to make choices he could not have dreamed awaited him. A series of horrific events shatters the peace of Beran's Hill, bringing death and devastation and unleashing monstrous forces. Once more, the Greater Realms of Tembria are threatened-and nothing will ever be the same again"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
