Se acerca el final del conflicto que devasta el continente de Normannia. En el este, el general Corfe Cear-Inaf, al mando de los ejércitos de Torunna, ha detenido el avance merduk y se dispone a pasar a la ofensiva. Pero la batalla que le espera, una sangrienta lucha de ocupación en la que las atrocidades contra los civiles están a la orden del día, es un nuevo tipo de guerra que no todos tendrán estómago para soportar. It's refreshing to read a fantasy series that's so breakneck in pace, I can barely register story beats before another major one happens. It may lack in depth, but I still feel connected to the main characters, Corfe in particular. Kearney definitely shoves in 500 pages of story into 289 pages here and I'm still not certain if I prefer that to being overly long, but for a quick summer fantasy read, it continued the story nicely. Fantastic epilogue, too. Onto the 5th and final book, no chance I'm getting off the train now. Paul Kearney's Monarchies of God series is easily among the best fantasy I've had the pleasure of reading. The Second Empire, along with entries 2 and 3 in this series, seem to represent the author at the top of his game. This entry wraps up a good number of plot threads, and does so in a convincing and exciting manner. Well worth your time for fans of R. Scott Bakker (Prince of Nothing), Joe Abercrombie (The First Law), and GRR Martin (A Song of Fire and Ice). In general, anyone who enjoys well-written, bare-knuckle, serious fantasy would be well off giving this series a try (but should start at the beginning with Hawkwood's Voyage). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Winter lies cold and dark upon the world; it seems that spring will never come. Once dismissed as the ravings of a crazed hermit, the prophecies of Honorius seem at last to be coming true. Though there are those within the Church hierachy who begin to doubt the moraility of the cause, the Ramusian Church is steadily expanding its power over the continent of Normannia; people are comparing it with the long-vanished Fimbrian empire. In the east, the last Torrunan army stands at bay before the broken walls of its capital. In the west, King Abelyn strives to maintain control of an unruly and ravaged kingdom. And in the harbour of Old Abrusio, the Gabrian Osprey lies docked at last, home from her long voyaging. Only a handful of shocked survivors remain of thaqt proud expedition that set forward almost a year before . . . but they are not alone. Something has come home with them from the uttermost west. This is the fourth book in Kearney¿s MONARCHIES OF GOD saga, combining warfare, magic and political machinations in a rich, rewarding read. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
