Narilka | May 25, 2021 |   I read the previous 5 (or 2 1/2, depending on your version), and was instantly reminded of how annoying the last book had been. For all the author's strengths, he has equal (or worse) weaknesses, and I just can't take it anymore. The tipping point came when the Bad Guy attacked the poor fragile women, and their designated helpful knight was cut down mercilessly in front of them ... followed by one of the poor fragile women unexpectedly unsheathing a sword and being so unexpectedly brilliant that Bad Guy was dispatched instantly. Well, nice of your to let your designated knight die, Lady. And the author doesn't seem to realise this is a problem. There's no wrestling with one's conscience, no internal dialogue where the lady-ninja is desperate to help but (for some valid reason) has to keep hidden, nope, she just watches, waits for the knight to be slaughtered, and then (haha, the author tricked us!) kills the bad guy. And I just ... can't. I just can't, not anymore. Not when there are so many books that bring a smile to my face or a well-deserved tear to my eye. The Murderbot Diaries. Most of Connie Willis. Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series. Top-notch middle school fiction. Little, by Edward Carey. If you'd been 150 pages, maybe, Percepliquis, maybe. But at 700 pages, and me already grrrring by page 30, no, it's not going to happen. Bye bye. (Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve!

A few things were a bit convenient, but for the most part I could forgive that because of the feel-good quality they left me with when I closed the book. It was a bit jarring in one case where a very new knight is suddenly winning a tournament, as if there was some time travel involved. Overall, the book doesn't disappoint & certainly never drags for all the area & pages it covers. The Afterword was interesting to read, too. I've followed the creation of this series closer than most & wasn't too surprised by anything except some of the reader misunderstandings. Seriously, what's up with reader comprehension these days? That had to be frustrating for the author. ( ) jimmaclachlan | Aug 18, 2014 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

After the quick pace of the previous book I was surprised at how slow this one felt. The story follows two threads: the quest to retrieve the horn and what's going on at home while the heroes are away. The quest portion was a nice nod to Tolkien and the Mines of Moria. Still, I felt my mind wandering a lot as I read, not nearly as engaged with the story as I'd hoped. For the most part the plot goes where you expect it to. Both threads come together in the final 200 pages for an exciting finish with a couple reveals (or revelations perhaps?) at the end that were great character twists.
I loved having all the characters back together again. Myron is definitely my favorite, a wonderful blend of innocence and wisdom. Degan Gaunt is and remains an ass. I feel bad
Overall this was a nice ending to the series. All the loose ends are tied up and our characters are left in a good place with plenty room left open should the author decided to write more. (
