Indlæser... Wind Rider's Oath (2004)af David Weber
   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   ) wetdryvac | Mar 2, 2021 |  The usual fantasy tropes abound, along with the usual all-white cast and patriarchal society. Though Weber also manages to turn that last around somewhat with the war maid society he introduces. All in all, an enjoyable read with compelling characters that avoids some of the worst cliches of the genre and has some original twists on an old story. (  ) JessMahler | Jan 9, 2020 | The characters that start to take over are much more interesting. I find the war maids - female warrior types that basically have to live outside the bounds of their patriarchal society - kind of problematic in a couple of ways, but not enough to not enjoy them. And this is the first point in the series where we really start to see who the enemies are and what their motivations might be - previously, they were all just puppy-kicking psychopaths, which isn't all that interesting. So overall a good entry in the series, although it ends sort of midstream. But I just need to record for posterity the impressive arc of my eyeroll when I realized that Our Hero was, yes, going to telepathically bond to an intelligent horse. Because that's never been done before. (  ) JeremyPreacher | Mar 30, 2013 | The third installment of Bahzell's adventures - a slightly more intricate plot, but still an excellent adventure.

HTML: Bahzell of the Hradani is Back! Exciting Fantasy Adventure by the New York Times Best-Selling Author of the Honor Harrington Series. In The War God's Own, Bahzell had managed to stop a war by convincing Baron Tellian, leader of the Sothoii, to "surrender" to him, the War God's champion. Now, he has journeyed to the Sothoii Wind Plain to oversee the parole he granted to Tellian and his men, to represent the Order of Tomanak, the War God, and to be an ambassador for the hradani. What's more, the flying coursers of the Sothoii have accepted Bahzell as a windrider??the first hradani windrider in history. And since the windriders are the elite of the elite among the Sothoii, Bahzell's ascension is as likely to stir resentment as respect. That combination of duties would have been enough to keep anyone busy??even a warrior prince like Bahzell??but additional complications are bubbling under the surface. The goddess Shigu, the Queen of Hell, is sowing dissension among the war maids of the Sothoii. The supporters of the deposed Sothoii noble who started the war are plotting to murder their new leige lord and frame Bahzell for the deed. Of course, those problems are all in a day's work for a champion of the War God. But what is Bahzell going to do about the fact that Baron Tellian's daughter, the heir to the realm, seems to be thinking that he is the only man??or hradani??for her At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Ma No library descriptions found. |
