It's an interesting concept. But the execution is the worst example of tell rather than show that I've read for a long time. It didn't improve anywhere throughout the text and robbed any excitement, tension or fun from the story. Humans have been living on tolerance in a southern nation, blocked from the land of the orcs by a narrow mountain barrier. The elves live away on an island nation. The humans worship a sun god, and the orcs a death god. We follow far too many charcters as an human priest attempts to summon the orcish god, but disturbs a terrible monster instead. The elves know this is coming an attempt to intervene and form a peaceful alliance to battle it, but mis-read the characters involved (probably because they're all so flat). Instead a human acolyte and female orcish assassin appear to have divine guidance to save the day. Meanwhile a faun runs around on a unicorn. It's too busy, and all the characters are pancake thin. Otherwise it could have been good. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

From USA Today bestselling author, Megg Jensen... For hundreds of years, the orcs and humans of Doros have shared an uneasy peace. It shatters in an instant with the botched assassination of a human priest in the orc capital. Hell bent on revenge, the humans take up arms as the orc monarchy crumbles from outside interference. Now Tace, the unlucky assassin, is on the run. It's soon clear, however, that her mistake hasn't only precipitated a war. It's unleashed ancient powers, the stuff of legends and fireside tales-and not the cozy kind. Tace has always worked solo, but to save Doros, she'll need to assemble the unlikeliest allies. Together, they'll unravel the mysteries of the orcs' cult of death, and in the process, Tace will come to question everything she's ever believed. Only one thing is certain: a great destiny awaits her-if she can live long enough to meet it. Chaos Awakens is an epic fantasy spanning multiple continents. Orcs, humans, elves, fauns, dwarves, and dragons fight for dominance in a new fantasy world sure to spark the imagination of fans of George R. R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Written by USA Today bestselling author Megg Jensen, Chaos Awakens is the first novel in the new series Dragons of the Nether. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
