Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.   ) marcb3 | Sep 2, 2023 |   ) pigeonjim | Jul 26, 2023 | The book follows the superstar Actor known as Caine as he navigates conspiracies at home in the dystopian caste society and also the blood-and-guts magical adventures of the 'Overworld' – a mix of Westworld and The Hunger Games with lashings of ultraviolence and classic fantasy narm. Looking back on it now, having finished the book, the plot doesn't seem particularly remarkable or innovative, but it's told with a real storyteller's art and a moment-by-moment sense of immersion and anticipation. The book has its flaws – the violence is overdone and exacerbated by rape fantasies and eye torture, and the culmination of the plot isn't as mind-blowing as other reviews would have you expect – but it's really a lot of fun to chew on. Some of the story is told with exceptional skill – I'm thinking of the initial meeting between Caine and Ma'elKoth (pg. 191 onwards) – and it's a robust example of the genre, a lazy-Saturday-afternoon sort of book. It may be indulgent but it's certainly worth indulging. ( ) MikeFutcher | Mar 7, 2023 | Holy crap. Holy crap. Words. Uh. Messed-up. Relentless. Worlds of trouble.

A man shouldn't die with no understanding of why he's been murdered Renowned throughout the land of Ankhana as the Blade of Tyshalle, Caine has killed his share of monarchs and commoners, villains and heroes. He is relentless, unstoppable, simply the best there is at what he does. At home on Earth, Caine is Hari Michaelson, a superstar whose adventures in Ankhana command an audience of billions. Yet he is shackled by a rigid caste society, bound to ignore the grim fact that he kills men on a far-off world for the entertainment of his own planet--and bound to keep his rage in check. But now Michaelson has crossed the line. His estranged wife, Pallas Rill, has mysteriously disappeared in the slums of Ankhana. To save her, he must confront the greatest challenge of his life: a lethal game of cat and mouse with the most treacherous rulers of two worlds . . . Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
