Description

The Dawnthief spell--designed to destroy the world, but cast to save it--has torn a hole in the sky, a pathway into the dragon dimension, and, through it, unfriendly eyes are turning to Balaia. With war already sweeping the land, there are no armies to send against the dragons. All that stands between Balaia and complete dominion by these tyrannous beasts is a tiny, but legendary band of mercenaries: The Raven. And if they fail, Balaia will fall beneath the wings of countless dragons.

anche in questo volume l'autore ne ammazza/elimina più di G.R.R.Martin!!!!

quel che resta della banda salva il mondo dai draghi cattivi aiutando i draghi buoni

non mi piace la scrittura, deve essere quello, perchè gli elementi per piacermi ci sono tutti e invece leggerlo è talmente una fatica che a volte salto pagina
The second in the Chronicles trilogy, this is a good follow-up to Dawnthief, with the introductions of dragons adding to Barclay's already booming armoury of raring-to-go action.
Les Ravens sont de retour, ajustant leurs fourreaux comme on enfonce un jack dans sa Les Paul…
Qui aime bien châtie bien : la partie « multivers » et plans astraux est intéressante mais quelquefois confuse. Le style est comme pour le premier épisode, souvent malhabile, même si les scènes d’action contiennent de la fougue et quelques morceaux de bravoure.
Tel un coup de mâchoire dans un cheeseburger dégoulinant de ketchup, Noirzénith c’est épées & fireballs à donf’ pour éviter la fin du monde. C’est si bon que lundi, c’est décidé, je me remets à Donjons & Dragons !
