Segunda entrega de la trilogía Príncipe de nada. La acción se sitúa dos mil años después del Apocalipsis, cuando el Shriah de los Mil Templos ha declarado la guerra para arrancar la Ciudad Santa del Último Profeta de las manos de sus infieles moradores. Los Hombres del Colmillo libran una guerra inacabable contra los infieles fanim y entre ellos destaca la figura de Kellhus, que va extendiendo pacientemente su dominio. Pero otro profeta ha aparecido, el Profeta Guerrero. En el momento más desesperado del enfrentamiento, todos se ven obligados a elegir entre el odio y la esperanza. Entre sus deseos más desesperados y el fin del mundo. Entre Anasûrimbor Kellhus y el Segundo Apocalipsis. (Fantasía épica)

A good book for fans of the word 'lustre' or the phrase 'ho, what'. Not so good a book for people who aren't comfortable with detailed and prolonged sexual descriptions of girls (well, one girl in particular) aged about 13 upwards.

An interesting plot, which I did enjoy, and well-written but, like I say, some aspects were uncomfortable to read. But that's fantasy apparently: women tend to not exist or to exist largely as sexual elements in stories like these, and I hate to say RA Salvatore has disappointingly followed this trend. ( )

A sword and sorcery tale of demon trying to destroy the world leading to adventurers banding together to stop him. Pretty typical fantasy story, but it keeps it interesting. There are three main characters that are all excellent in their own way. The story is heavy on the action, but still includes plenty of character growth, mystery, and romance. It's a fun story with an interesting world. I listened to it through Graphic Audio, which includes many different sound effects, background music, and each character is narrated by a different person. It probably made the action sequences more exciting, but I only read it this way so am unsure. The only problem with Graphic Audio is sometimes the sound effects are louder than the narration. ( )

Yay I am so glad to have found this. I have heard so much about Salvatore over the years, but just have not had the time or resources for the series. So this will be my very first read with Salvatore.
I will let you know what I think, so the review to come.

Interesting. I wasn't expecting this to start with two preteens. I was expecting the scary demon. I think I was expecting late teens to be the heroes. Maybe this will have several plots that eventually intertwine. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Yes they eventually intertwine with the plotlines. now it makes sense. Three that I am instantly reminded of God's Trubidore(sp?), The Book of Three, and The Merchant of Death.

Now at the end of it all. I have to say that it feels a bit incomplete, but it is a saga so it should be understandable. I don't suppose any out there have the same problem I do with a meddling mother, a husband who acts like a child, and two abnormally smart children? Why can't my day turn out normal so I can just effing read!?! ( )

I liked the start of this series. It's a unique world with a new magic system, unlike his Drizzt series it is not set in a Dungeons and Dragons world and it does not use that rule set. Salvatore has actually produced a game that uses the rules roughly described by this book. The magic system is similar to those in other modern fantasy - specific item + skill = specific magic effect. In this case, the specific items are specially blessed and prepared semi-precious or precious stones (diamond, malachite, graphite, etc) that fall to Corona from 'the Halo' every 170 years. Chances to use this magic are rare as the stones are very rare, though sometimes also set in items.
Set mostly in a wilderness area, we meet the heroes of the book when they are young and their village is overrun by monsters. Elbryan and Jillesponie become warriors and eventually meet a monk of the Abellican Church, the overzealous creators and users of the magic stones, which they keep away from the common folk. This is a pretty standard sword and sorcery adventure novel, with some strong characters and great action. ( )
