This book had me from page one, and kept me in it's grip to the last punctuation mark. I love the deep dive into the African folklore(esque) setting and the commitment to place and people names that will be difficult for a lot of readers. The characters are incredible in this one. I love (and hate) them all with passion, which is everything I want from a book. Depth. Depth. And more depth. The world-building was vivid, but a little light for my tastes... I want to see more of the world and its people and I definitely want more of what was left behind! Gruesome, but not in a shock-factor way. The despair was believable and important for character-building, which I loved. Definitely give it a read! I'm plowing on to the second book, even though I know I'll have to wait at least a year for the third. After 100 pages, I’m not enjoying it at all. An opening battle is extremely odd for a book, since I know nothing about the characters yet. I realize this is in the past, so I think OK, let’s build some characters and the world now. Another battle, and I once again have no reason to be concerned about anyone. It's hard to keep up with the characters' names. The class system remains complicated and unexplained. There's no attempt to explain the world or characters, yet it's popular. The smallest complaint that surprises me is that dragons appear very little in the story, despite the title. Pacing is also an issue in The Rage of Dragons. A major event occurs too late in the story. They discuss other events I consider important in a couple of sentences, while repetitive training sessions consume most of the time. Having a dialogue about why training is critical on a battlefield about halfway into the story is ridiculous. It suggests the author was just writing for the sake of writing, without considering what might benefit his characters. The world building isn’t the best, either. Winter’s portrayal of the world doesn’t work for me. Instead of info-dumping, he sprinkles information along the way without linking it to the thoughts of his narrator. As there are no emotions or events in the story that stick in my mind, I cannot remember it. The Rage of Dragons is definitely not on nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

tipico Heroic fantasy ed essendo tipico non delude anche se i personaggi più che cesellati sono tagliati con l'accetta ;)
il ritmo, invece, è perfetto, perfetto, perfetto ( )
