I read this book at the beginning of the year and whilst I wanted to enjoy it and support an emerging talent in the fantasy world, I actually only finished reading it because I don't like to leave the end of a story unread. It had a number of things I hate in fantasy books (need I mention the really, really long names) and whilst I wanted to like the main characters, I just didn't. I'm afraid, that I was very surprised to see it's been short-listed for awards. I did have a look at the beginning of the next book but decided that I didn't want to read it. Sorry!! Really enjoyed this fantasy/scifi cross.... In face couldn't put it down. Was up till the early hours of the morning reading till I couldn't keep my eyes open, then after just 5 hours sleep had to finish it. Plenty of magic, swords and prophecies to satisfy me... Reminded me a bit of Dune crossed with Krull... Absolutely loved it. Have ordered the next book at my library but I will probably buy these anyway. Can highly recommend it, brilliant!!!
What do You think about Kind Van De Nacht (2011)?
Very good, can't wait to read the next one.
