Work InformationThe Widow's House by Daniel Abraham
   I Could Live There (134) No current Talk conversations about this book. the series takes an interesting turn as Clara, who once played the socialite wife of an aristocrat in this intriguing epic fantasy series, reshapes her life to play a deep-undercover spy. her thought processes in making this turn are quite interesting, and in Book Four of Five, this remaking allows for a significant rethinking of the differences between a war and a malign reshaping of the whole world. (  ) macha | Mar 25, 2023 |  When I started this series, I thought it was four books long, and all four books were in existence. I am not certain how I got that impression since it is not true, and now I am stuck waiting for Book Five. Damn. Still imagining Geder as a Men's Rights Activist. ( ) leahsusan | Mar 26, 2022 | Another great story Awesome book. Great detail and always kept you wanting more. Can't wait for the next book. Could not have expected anymore. scttbull | Sep 3, 2021 | After three books of denouement, "The Dagger and the Coin" series finally shifts into an extra gear. All Abraham's pieces are in place, his characters have gained knowledge of themselves and the threats they're facing, and everything begins to accelerate toward the finish line. There are a few moments in the book that strain suspension of disbelief a little bit, especially a scheme the character Cithrin comes up with near the end that's very clever but also not entirely grounded in foreshadowing. It makes sense for modern readers, but even for a character as clever with finance as Cithrin it seems a bit of a stretch. But it's a great development for a series about banking (as well as epistemology) so I'll let it ride. Looking forward to the conclusion. (  ) dhmontgomery | Dec 13, 2020 | The Widow's House suffered from a dragging middle as Abraham's put pieces in place for the concluding volume(s) of the series. Not a bad book, just a bit long in parts. (  ) kodermike | Jul 31, 2020 | no reviews | add a review
