Asi jsem ideální cílovkou pro tuhle knihu - nejsem ani naprostý laik co se světa TES týče (cca vím jaké mezi sebou mají jednotlivé frakce vztahy, co a kde je Black Marsh, Morrowind, Skyrim, proč argoniánci fakt nemusejí dark elfy apod.), nicméně nejsem ani natolik zdatný odborník, abych vnímal př...
I am a huge elder scrolls fan. I have played every game in the series to some extent, excluding the side titles like "Redguard, Battlespire, and ESO." So when I heard that there was a book about it, I got excited! I bought it on kindle and started reading. What I found was no where near my expect...
Being a huge fan of The Elder Scrolls universe, I was pretty excited about these books existing. The Infernal City was pretty enjoyable, easy to read, easy to follow. Lord of Souls was hard to finish. By the end, there are quite a few miscellaneous characters and storylines that really don't c...
The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone Series I am always surprised that this series does not get anymore attention, because it deserves more. I picked up the first book, The Briar King, on a whim. I was looking for something to read to pass the time and just picked it up at the bookstore because it soun...

I have fond memories of this trilogy from my youth. Or, more likely, of parts of this trilogy, both because in my rebellious heyday I read things out of sequence like it was nobody's business (because it wasn't) and because my library is very fond of buying books 2 and 3 but not book 1. So I can'...
This was a much more "fun" read than its predeccesor, if a little less intellectual. I enjoyed the steampunk-y world set up in "Newton's Cannon," and after the intense finale of that book, it made sense to have everything in the sequel be a disorganized, chaotic mess. I never thought I'd read a "...
Book 3 of the Age of Unreason takes place 10 years after a Calculus of Angels. Ben Franklin has returned to America after saving Venice, founding a secret society called the Junto whos purpose is to protect against warlocks possessed by angels, demons, or malekim as modern scientists refer to th...
Après trois tomes de destructions massives, que pouvait-on encore espérer d’un auteur souhaitant terminer avec style son épopée ? Personnellement, j’aurais apprécié une conclusion aussi inattendue que certaines prémices de ce pavé. Malheureusement, il semble cette fois-ci que Keyes, contrairement...
For the 1st hundred or so pages.......the Prelude was quite interesting, but the rest was hard for me to get into. I was reading this in short spurts and it was hard for me to get into as it jumps around from character to character and sometimes I felt like I wasn't quite understanding what was w...
