Seemed a bit clumsy at the beginning - I suspect from the author change - but once it got going, it really got going well. Felt on balance by p50 or so. ( ) It's been a long while since I read the first two books of this series - I remember them as more lively and engaging. The story in this was burdened by extending every scene to the maximum length & with so very many groups of characters that swapped in and out as soon as I figured out the relationships in a group the next chapters would feature an entirely new group. and having all the military on one side designated chan something while the other was a 25, 50, 100, 500 etc and multiples of each #. Too much work for to little content. Oh, it's a dragon against WWI tech, with magic and psi talents also opposing on a multiple chain of earth like planets. Pretty high body count, mostly off to the side. Good entry in a complex series. The provoked confrontation that concluded the previous book continues to reverberate between the two parallel but quite different societies. Tentative and difficult cooperation seems to making headway when a terror attack seriously threatens the royals as this installment concludes. This book has a few interesting plot lines covered in hundreds of pages of descriptions, backgrounds, discussions and characters one doesn't care about. The entire series reads as supplementary information regarding the universe with a plot line hidden in it. 400 pages in, after skipping a full third of the content up to that point I gave up. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"The war between magically gifted Arcana and psionically talented Sharona continues to rage. The dragon-borne Arcanan assault across five universes has been halted but at atrocious cost. One of those was the life of Crown Prince Janaki, heir to the newly created Sharonian empire, who went knowingly to his death. Another price will be the sacrifice of his younger sister, Grand Imperial Princess Andrin, now heir of Sharona. Andrin bears her family's Talent, the Glimpses, which show flashes of events yet to come. Meanwhile, far behind the front, a young Voice name Shaylar and her husband Jathmar hurtle deeper into Arcanan captivity, their only protection the fierce personal honor of the Andaran officer whose men massacred all their companions in the horrendous misunderstanding which began the entire conflict. The stakes are high and pieces are in motion but there are factors unknown not even to those pushing the war forward and not even a Calirath can Glimpse the final outcome"-- No library descriptions found. |
