"Of course all he'd gotten was a stint in slavery, but at least they'd gotten out of the house." If Alec had a resume, it would include the former occupations of hunter/trapper, apprentice bard, thief, spy, lord, honest working man, diplomat with some spying involved, and lastly, "a stint in slav...
Well guys, you know how you have that old, slightly out-of-it uncle or grandparent who is very very sweet, bless his/her soul, but then their dementia gets worse and they start spouting racist crap from their childhoods because that's the only thing their brains can remember?And then you say to y...
"It had died long before they’d come here and turned to stone, as the old dragons did. Most of the body had crumbled away, but the huge head was perfect, down to the sharp spines on its muzzle. Even in winter it was still warm to the touch, as was the water. Hâzadriël had taken this as a sign t...
Oh that's MUCH better. More Nightrunning, More Micum, Less angst, More adventure, Clearer Plot, Better paced, plenty of different locations and full of funny moments. For some reason the following quote tickled me. Riser: "How do we break into a ship?"Seregil: "The same way you do a house, only w...
I really like this book. After the last two were not so great, I was scared that the series had slipped into mediocrity. But this was back on form, and I believe the best of the series since Stalking Darkness. The swashbuckling burglary is back, and that is just amazing, with traps, intrigues and...
I've absolutely loved the Nightrunner series and that's why this book was such a disappointment for me. I wouldn't call it an awful read, but underwhelming compared to the rest of the series. I'm sad to see this series end on such a low note.The plot was predictable and far too simple. The charac...
Quasi un anno.Quasi un anno da quando ho recensito il primo volume della serie Nightrunners, trovandolo ben scritto e ripromettendomi di continuare la serie al più presto.Al più presto - ovviamente - si è tradotto in "dopo", finchè in preda alla crisi mistica del "cosa leggo? Ho solo ottanta libr...
Non capisco perchè, nell'edizione italiana, è stato dato tanto peso a Kerry: non è un posto importante per la trama, è giusto lo sputo di terra in cui è nato Alec e non ci sono mai tornati.Potevo capire nei primi due libri: Alec viene da Kerry, ed è un arciere, ma qui? Alec non è un (o 'il') trad...
Fantasy Gold! This is going to be one of those slow developing series’ that keeps you hooked with every little reveal. I almost feel there are more questions than answers right now, dropped innuendo, and things hinted at yet never explained. Hello peaked curiosity! Yet, I still felt I got a c...
Um...Ms. Flewelling...may I call you Lynn...okay, Ms. Flewelling...if you ever see this review, I want you to know that this rating/review is a reflection of MY FAILURE and not yours. I don’t think this is a bad book and I don’t think there are serious flaws in its execution. I think the lack of ...
Gazing up at it, Tamír felt a thrill of anticipation. “Isn’t there some sort of ceremony?” Nikides asked as the other Companions and wizards gathered by the spring. Wythnir was clinging to Arkoniel’s hand again, as if he feared he’d be left behind. Ralinus smiled. “No, my lord. There is no need, ...
Arkoniel never learned what Iya said to Rhius during her visit to Atyion, but the duke returned to the keep soon after and promised to stay until Tobin’s name day in Erasin. Better still, Rhius seemed almost his old self again, praising the improvements to the house and inviting Arkoniel to game ...
“Why didn’t you send me this author, when you were submitting it?” She blanched a little. “Oh, but you already had [author redacted] on your list, so I thought it would be too similar.” “Argh,” I growled. “I would have made room!” So I lost out on my chance to be Lynn Flewelling’s editor. But ins...
“Have you thought more about what we spoke of?” he asked, cheek pressed to the door. “Yes. Do you really think it possible?” “Get me out of this room and I’ll prove it to you.” “And you would take me with you?” &n...
