The penultimate chapter of the Sun Eater--- and it delivers.
An undisputed masterpiece of science fiction. Everything is moving towards the ultimate climax of the story, and while the story is fast paced, it also slows enough to breath, to let us in Hadrian's deep inner thoughts, to get to know new characters, and some that are not so new.
Cannot say much without spoilers, but this might be the best book yet--which is saying a lot given how fantastic Howling Dark, and Demon in White were.
Ruocchio is exploring vast themes with the series--from the nature of mankind, its relationship with the universe, and the nature of the cosmos itself.
5 STARS....5 GIGANTIC SUN EATER SUNS!
Full disclosure, I did read an earc of this book, but I purchased it for $14.99 from the publishers website. It was worthy every penny.
A little bit of Shogun, a little bit of mystery in ancient Japan. Very quick read. Will have to read other books in the series.!
More supernatural than mystery. I thinking the ending was supposed to be a plot twist or creepy....but it did not do much except maybe setup a sequel.
Average. Quick read. I have two more Sherlock Holmes by the same author...if they were not such quick reads I would probably skip them, but I got them from the library so I will probably go ahead and give them a quick read.
Just goes to show that nothing is as good as the original.
Best of Era 2 so far....Part mystery, part magic, part Wayne trading for stuff.
This one feels much more a part of the Mistborn universe than the Alloy of Law. Alloy of Law had parts that reminded you, but this book felt more Mistborn--felt more connected to Era 1. I am not going to say anymore to avoid spoilers...and that ending was fantastic. I flew through this one.
4.75 STARS
One of the greatest mysteries ever written. Poirot at the height of his powers and genius. A classic by any measure and a pure joy to read. 5 stars!
