Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Yeah nah, not for me. Too much talking and stuff happening, not enough emotion, meaning and depth of world; and, after a lovely opening line, not enough style to keep my interest lacking the other stuff. Will definitely appeal to those who like plenty of warlike barbarians and guard captains doing their things with swords and honour (or lack thereof). This book started off with a strong premise: the Red Gods of blood and pain have been banished, along with their followers, for nearly a thousand years, but are preparing to come crashing back with a vengeance. Treachery and torture ensue. Strong points: political intrigue, crossing and double-crossing, gore. Weaknesses: short chapters with constantly changing points of view that don’t allow enough time for character development and leave the reader feeling as if chunks of story have been left out. The baddies in particular are very two-dimensional, which is unfortunate for a book in which lawful evil features so prominently. I read the first half of the book eagerly to see how the plot would unfold but lost interest by the last quarter or so. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The Mireces worship the bloodthirsty Red Gods. Exiled from Rilpor a thousand years ago, and left to suffer a harsh life in the cold mountains, a new Mireces king now plots an invasion of Rilpor's thriving cities and fertile earth. Dom Templeson is a Watcher, a civilian warrior guarding Rilpor's border. He is also the most powerful seer in generations, plagued with visions and prophecies. His people are devoted followers of the god of light and life, but Dom harbors deep secrets, which threaten to be exposed when Rillirin, an escaped Mireces slave, stumbles broken and bleeding into his village. Meanwhile, more and more of Rilpor's most powerful figures are turning to the dark rituals and bloody sacrifices of the Red Gods, including the prince, who plots to wrest the throne from his dying father in the heart of the kingdom. Can Rillirin, with her inside knowledge of the Red Gods and her shocking ties to the Mireces King, help Rilpor win the coming war? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This book is not the faint hearted at all. This is a grimdark novel that is brutal and bloody. But I did not mind this as I enjoy my fantasy with a little kick to it. Also, the characters in this book are at times not likeable and definitely you are unsure who is good and who is bad. There are not simple troupes in here. Please be advised there are many trigger warnings in the book due to the graphic content. As I said before this is not a book for the faint hearted.
The female characters in this book are kickass and at times I found them witty and sassy. I loved the friendships portrayed in the universe.
If you want an exciting read then this is for you. I can't wait to get a physical copy to put on my bookshelves and in the near future, delve back into this amazing world. Bring on the battle for the dark and the light and most definitely bring on book two. Well done Ms Stephens on an excellent debut novel. Can't wait to read more by this amazing new voice. ( )
