About this deal
I think ultimately, that actually sums up my feelings about Age of Ash quite nicely – it’s solid, decent fantasy, but personally, I just expect a little bit more.
Also I don't think this book is super action packed/battle heavy but rather is more about the intrigue and mystery - I actually prefer this but I just wanted to raise it so you know what to expect! Wie immer kraftvoll und fast poetisch geschrieben, Hauptcharaktäre glaubwürdig mit guter Entwicklung. When her brother is murdered, a petty thief from the slums of Longhill sets out to discover who killed him and why.This was one of those books I enjoyed so much, I could set aside my over-critical mind and just appreciate the journey. As the book opens, we learn that the city’s ruler, Prince Byrn a Sal, has died after less than a year on the throne.
I think it has a lot of things that just didn't appeal to my personal taste and maybe one or two strange character choices.I did find myself wanting some more depth to The Daris Brotherhood, their use of powers and their limitations were never quite fully explained and some parts left me somewhat confused. While I didn’t necessarily love how these characters behaved at times, Abraham’s does make an effort in justifying their actions. This is a great read if you enjoy a “slow burn” style of writing, and luxuriating in a delightfully written story that is character driven and utterly immersive.
