The book is a great introduction to the world and the story to come. Took one star out because I feel that the aphorisms can get repetitive over the course of the book, and some grammatical errors. But overall - great book, amazing world building. I am curious to see how Hadrian becomes the monster or hero people see him as by the end of his life.
Such a great book! If you are a character driven reader then maybe this won't be the book for you. Hopefully he starts fleshing the character in the second book. This one was more a world building type of book with mysteries abound everywhere you look. It is a great world. One that I will definitely read more about. I bought the second and third book halfway throug this book.
Wow. All the stars for this book. It's been a long time since a book was written in such a way that made it super easy to convey the images in my head. The fighting scenes were amazing but my favorite had to be the Daaso Headtaker excerpt... I could see it, like a movie. I was her, I was seeing what she was seeing... and
Loooooove it. I don't understand why some people feel like this book is full of despair and hopelessness. I loved Senlin and how much he grew as a character throughout the book.
The world building is amazing. And it really does feels like a classic in the making.
I am trying very hard not to pick the second book right now and start reading it.
3.5☆ I don't know how to feel about this book. I LOVED the girls and their relationships with each other, very few books in fantasy revolve around a group of girls and I loved it...
The rating comes from the fact that I feel like this was a very long book with very little plot that served more of an introduction. I hope it gets better.
Ya que puedo decir que soy veterana en el genero de Fantasy, que he leido lo suficiente, realmente le doy 3.7 estrellas... solo por el hecho de que prefiero que los builtups en los libros sean mas politicos en vez de estar enmarcado en un viaje y los escollos que aparecen en el camino. Sin embargo, creo que el mundo creado por Jordan es hermoso e interesante, al igual que los personajes que habitan en el. Ademas, de que, a pesar de no ser mi plot favorito, entiendo que este primer libro se trata mas de la buqueda y el crecimiento de los personajes en los que gira la serie y como se topan con su destino.
