Ladataan... Witch KingTekijä: Martha Wells
   Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.   ) Verkruissen | Nov 28, 2023 |  I don't have as much patience for high fantasy as I do science fiction, and I'll admit to zoning out rather than rigorously tracking the shifting alliances and political machinations of this world. So I didn't enjoy this as much as the Murderbot Diaries. Still, I like Wells' writing and this is an enjoyable story. The narrator was competent but not great, with an inattentive performance and direction that resulted in a few oddly pronounced words and poor line readings that missed the context (even a few halting readings of sentences that should have flowed more smoothly). (  ) yarmando | Nov 4, 2023 | The story alternates between the present -- as Kai sets out to find his friends, and to discover who imprisoned him in the first place -- and Kai’s past. Wells switches between the two storylines quite effectively, with the flashback chapters managing to tell a coherent, sequential narrative and simultaneously provide context for whatever is currently going on in the present. (The deft way the two stories fit together reminded me of Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie.) The scenery, the characters’ personalities and the found-family dynamics are all very Martha Wells-ish. It’s not my favourite, which is to say I’m not as invested in Kai as in some of Wells’ other protagonists, but I thought it was excellent storytelling. Dahin hesitated, regarding him with wary skepticism. “If you’re really Kai, tell me something only you know.”( ) Herenya | Oct 29, 2023 |  ) Kavinay | Oct 20, 2023 | There is far too much exposition like a history textbook and far too little story. It's a decent history textbook. Not one of the really bad ones, but even good exposition is just not good enough to engage me as I expect from a fiction story. I am having trouble putting my finger on what precisely the problem with this one is but it just drags horribly. Initially, I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt and waited for the story to pick up but I am 3 hours into the audiobook by now and it is still a horrible drag. I am just not getting into the story. It feels like an endless and stale list of things the protagonist says and does. I think I'll just pin it on terrible pacing. I am so disinterested that the bit of humor and banter didn't even make me smile once. I'm having trouble determining if the narration makes the book boring or if it's the other way around. I know this problem can go both ways. But I definitively have the impression that the narration at least contributes to the utter boredom in this case. omission | Oct 19, 2023 | ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
