che potenziale!
tre protagonisti così promettenti! veterani decorati, eroi di una guerra incredibile contro una razza rettiliana, ognuno con il proprio diverso bagaglio di traumi, shock culturali, abbandoni e tradimenti:
una giovane semi-aliena di 200(?) anni
un nobile reietto
un selvaggio delle steppe
così tanta diversità in cui scavare profondamente...e invece no!!
queste tre persone così diverse pensano nello stesso modo, agiscono nello stesso modo, parlano nello stesso modo e cioè come un adolescente meschino ottuso e volgare

poteva essere un capolavoro ed è solo una cialtronata di 1400 pagine, fanculo!!!
e a proposito di cialtroneria:
concludere (ripetutamente) un azione che non si sa come chiudere con "e dopo tutto si fece buio" è veramente da cialtroni!!!!!

PS: copierò questo commento su ogni libro della trilogia perchè proprio come non c'è nessuna differenziazione ne crescita nei protagonisti non ce n'è nei tre libri

ancora fanculo! ( )

Along with Malazan, some of the best postmodern work I've seen in a genre that tends 50 years behind the curve. Gil is an amazing character. ( )

I ended up enjoying this series more and more the further along I got into it. The first book didn't quite impress me, but with the second and third books, more and more depth was layered in, and I could see what was being set up with the first book. But there were still plenty of other things I didn't see coming. I wanted the characters to come together one last time, but that's just life, isn't it? They all received proper endings, as far as I'm concerned, although I would have liked to see Archeth confront Jhiral at the end, but imagination is just as good. Egar the Dragonbane died a fitting death, which was really the only way his arc could have ended because there wasn't much character development for him throughout the series other than dealing with aging and the existentialism tied up therein. Ringil's ending was confusing, but after thinking about it, he was a very much the anti-hero, and he had been toyed with by powerful beings throughout the series, so I interpret his ending as one where he gets to exist in a land where he doesn't have to worry about fighting or war anymore, even if he is stuck there forever. This book was dark, and it took me over a month to read it, but it was worth it. I ended up enjoying it because it was unlike any other series I have read. ( )

A satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. ( )
