This is one of those where the style can throw you - Written as a pastiche to Alexander Dumas, this book follows Young Piro, on his way to help Zivra regain her birthright and regain the orb, bringing back sorcery to Dragaera. There is a emperor remaking the empire by force, old foes upset about past doings, and Sethra, who is scheming in her mountain. As for books in this series, I found the book to be more generic, outside of the language. Its pushes along the narrative, but for the most part, its unremarkable. ( ) Maybe I'm just getting tired of the writing style, but I had a lot more trouble paying attention to this one and caring enough to keep the characters straight (there are a lot in this one and not really enough time to get to know any of them). Maybe it will get better with the next two, I gather these three are really just one book broken into 3 for publication. Originally posted at FanLit. The Paths of the Dead is the first book in Steven Brustƒ??s THE VISCOUNT OF ADRILANKHA trilogy, which is a sequel to The Phoenix Guards and Five Hundred Years. Each of these books is an installment in Brustƒ??s KHAAVREN ROMANCES and theyƒ??re all related to his VLAD TALTOS books which, at this moment, consist of 13 novels. All of these books have just been released in audio format by Audible Frontiers. I picked up The Paths of the Dead after reading that it can stand alone. You might wonder why I started here and, honestly, itƒ??s because we already had reviews for some of the VLAD TALTOS novels and for The Phoenix Guards and Five Hundred Years but none for any of THE VISCOUNT OF ...

At the same time, a 'young' Morrolan starts his career as a warlock. Typical Brust, with a lot of sarcasm (did I say a lot?) and long running jokes and what passes for wit when you're on the road adventuring. Good stuff, if you like that sort of thing. Not excessively violent or face paced. Very dry at times, but that's part of the beauty of it. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
The long-awaited sequel to The Phoenix Guards and Five Hundred Years After.Two hundred years after Adron's Disaster, in which Dragaera City was accidentally reduced to an ocean of chaos by an experiment in wizardry gone wrong, the Empire isn't what it used to be. Deprived at a single blow of their Emperor, of the Orb that is the focus of the Empire's power, of their capital city with its Imperial bureaucracy, and of a great many of their late fellow citizens, the surviving Dragaerans have been limping through a long Interregnum, bereft even of the simple magic and sorcery they were accustomed to use in everyday life.Now the descendants and successors of the great ad-venturers Khaavren, Pel, Aerich, and Tazendra are growing up in this seemingly diminished world, convinced, like their elders, that the age of adventures is over and nothing interesting will ever happen to them. They are, of course, wrong.For even deprived of magic, Dragaerans fight, plot, and conspire as they breathe, and so do their still-powerful gods. The enemies of the Empire prowl at its edges, in-scrutable doings are up at Dzur Mountain...and, unexpectedly, a surviving Phoenix Heir, young Zerika, is discovered--setting off a chain of swashbuckling events that will remake the world yet again.
