Saul runs around at the Major's behest, attempting to find meaning in the events that start happening. Especially the fact that one particular person seems to show up everywhere Saul goes. Randolph also fought in the war, although his war was the War Beneath the War. The occultists and arcanists fought with magic during the war. As a result, the veil between the worlds is thinning, and Randolph is running around dealing with manifestations of the wrecked veil. He is suspicious that Saul shows up everywhere there is an event, but when something that can't be explained away happens, Saul comes to find Randolph and learns the truth about bumps in the night. Then they have to work together to fight whatever malignant forces are trying to take over the world. It took me a looooonnnnggg time to get into this one. It just felt so dry, and I don't think that it was the result of not having read the "prequel", since the main characters from that book aren't in this one. It wasn't until Saul learns the truth of the what is happening that I actually started to get invested, and the book was close to being over by that point. I do have to say that I appreciated the fact that we don't just learn what Saul's crimes during the war were straight off the bat. We had to get to know him, to understand him, and then it was revealed. He did do wrong, but he definitely paid his debt, and as Randolph pointed out, there were people much higher placed who did the same thing and weren't punished as harshly, probably because of who he did it with. All in all, I was left feeling a little cheated, although the story was good, just because I couldn't really relate to any of the characters until so late in the story. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Saul knows its a lot of nonsenseexcept that he begins to find himself in increasingly strange and frightening situations. And at every turn he runs into the sardonic, mysterious Randolph Glyde. Randolph is the last of an ancient line of arcanists, commanding deep secrets and extraordinary powers as he struggles to fulfil his family duties in a war-torn world. He knows theres something odd going on with the haunted-looking man who keeps turning up in all the wrong places. The only question for Randolph is whether Saul is victim or villain. Saul hasnt trusted anyone in a long time. But as the supernatural threat grows, along with the desire between them, hell need to believe in evasive, enraging, devastatingly attractive Randolph. Because he may be the only man who can save Sauls lifeor his soul. .Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
