It has an epic quality to it so that you can believe that at least part of what happened is remembered way down the line. I like that it helps to build the world of Elan and you get to see what actually happened in the past as opposed to only knowing how it turned into a mythology three thousand years later. I was worried when I started reading this series that I wouldn’t like it as much as the Riyria books because, lets face it, they’re awesome but I am having a lot of fun reading it. Fuck that accent) inadvertently joins a group who wants to overthrow his father. Oh, and Mawyndulë (trying to get that bastard accent is what caused my laptop to fuck up on me.
We all know who’s going to end up being in charge.
Meanwhile, most of the men are arguing about who gets to be in charge. Raithe doesn’t think they can because the Fhrey have better weapons so Persephone and her merry band of female companions go off with some Dwarfs in order to get some. Needless to say, I am not in the fucking best of moods right now.Īge of Swords picks up from the end of Age of Myth with the Fhrey wanting to wipe humans off the face of the earth and humans realising they have to fight back. This is the second time I am writing this review because the first time my laptop had a hissy fit and the file got corrupted. There, an ancient adversary waits, as fearsome as it is deadly.
With time running out, Persephone leads the gifted young seer Suri, the Fhrey sorceress Arion, and a small band of misfits in a desperate search for aid–a quest that will take them into the darkest depths of Elan. The answer lies across the sea in a faraway land populated by a reclusive and dour race who feel nothing but disdain for both Fhrey and mankind. And even if the clans can join forces, how will they defeat an enemy whose magical prowess renders them indistinguishable from gods? Summary: Raithe, the God Killer, may have started the rebellion by killing a Fhrey, but long-standing enmities dividing the Rhunes make it all but impossible to unite against the common foe.
