   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  tjglaser | Jul 31, 2020 |   I've read 3 of the first 4 books in this series, and i'll give them all about the same review. As I said above good world and characters. but the decision to split the narrative like Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow has mixed results in my opinion. I would have prefered instead of 4 books, 2 larger books, with quite a bit of the 'retelling' of scenes being trimmed down. A decent part of the length of each book is retelling moments we already saw from one perspective. I don't feel like it made the books better. So my review is 3 stars because of this extra rehashing of plot points we already knew dragging down the pacing for me. If it was edited together into 2 books, so Of Sea and Shadow of Shadow and Sea were blended together into one book, the story/characters/world building of that one book is probably a 4 star book for me. I'm looking forward to future entries in the world. (  ) tjglaser | Jul 31, 2020 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheThe Elder Empire (shadow 1) Ist enthalten in
"The Consultant's Guild has served the Aurelian Empire for over a thousand years, working in the darkness to hunt dissension and eliminate traitors. Now the Emperor is dead. For Shera, an assassin in the employ of the Consultants, the Emperor's death is the beginning of a nightmare. Powerful forces hunt the Heart of Nakothi, a cursed artifact that can raise a second Emperor and corrupt him in the process. But some desire power at any cost. The Guild of Navigators, an infamous collection of swindlers and pirates, has been paid a fortune to secure the Heart. Their only lord is greed, their only loyalty to gold, and they would sell the Empire's freedom for the promise of a quick coin. In the shadows, a woman works to set the world free. On the seas, a man seeks to raise a lunatic to lord over mankind. Will you walk the shadows here with Shera? Or will you explore the seas with Calder, in the parallel novel 'Of sea and shadow'?"--Publisher. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
