Found: Sword and Sorcery fiction novel em Name that Book (Janeiro 2021)

Críticas

The third anthology in the 'Tales of the Fifth Age' series, which started with Relics and Omens, followed by Heroes and Fools. These short stories either precede or occur in the period of the War of Souls, which I've yet to read (just like the trilogy The Dawning of a New Age, for example, which precedes the War of Souls).

Circumstances haven't been favourable these past months, hence my taking so long to finish this book. Despite that, and perhaps some change in taste, I found this one not as strong as the previous two, despite some expectations, especially from authors whose previous reads I did enjoy.

Anyway, like before, (most of) these tales are nice to read in-between other books, telling of what happened after the Chaos War and as a preparation for the next events on the Dragonlance timeline. Don't read this if you're not familiar with Dragonlance, even if some tales could have been part of any fantasy universe, somehow.

En este magnífico libro de ilustraciones, el lector apasionado de la saga Dragonlance verá representados gráficamente a los más conocidos personajes, a los Héroes de la Lanza, aquel valeroso grupo de amigos que decidió salvar a Krynn de la malvada Takhisis, Reina de la Oscuridad, y de sus temibles hordas, los Dragones del Mal.

Un nutrido grupo de artistas, atrapados también por las aventuras de los Héroes y tras largas conversaciones con los autores de la serie, dieron vida a los personajes de estas obras. Sin embargo, no existe una imagen única de algunos de de ellos, ya que cada ilustrador introduce algunas variantes sobre un mismo personaje, hecho que resulta enriquecedor al poder contemplar diferentes matices y particularidades. Así pues, podrán observarse los numerosos dibujos que se hicieron de los crueles Señores de los Dragones: Verminaard, Ariakas o la mismísima Kitiara, y los que representan a los repugnantes draconianos con sus correspondientes armas y armaduras.… (mais)

Even though everything that bugged me about this series remained present here: out-of-place humour that isn't really that funny, emotional arcs for characters that don't make sense of play out realistically, and a confusion of theme and tone... is this about temptation, forgiveness, or just a struggle between good and evil?

(The authors play it vague between all of these and none of them really pay off, at least in ways that make sense. They have plot signposts that signify the dramatic moment, but they don't actually earn it.)

Even though all of that is still present, I found this book and this series to be very readable. Moreso than some other D&D or other game-universe novelizations out there. The plot moves along briskly and in that respect a lot of the problems feel less so, because you're not dwelling in them long enough to be truly bothered. There is an epic scope here, and even if the book doesn't really make the best use of it, it does gesture at it enough that you can fill it out in your head... which is probably exactly what made these books so magical for teenagers. (Who also didn't yet have the emotional literacy to sense how bland the emotional arcs of these characters truly are.)

This might be why Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is so difficult for me... it has a rolling plot, but instead of moving briskly through its repetitive writing tics and one-note characters, it dwells on them... you're stuck in these moments for much longer. (One Wheel of Time book is as long as this entire trilogy.)
