Description
War is drowning Maras Dantia. Stryke and his warband have recovered the five instrumentalities but now they must work out how to use them while there is still a world to save. And in the meantime they are being hunted from every corner and the three sisters are close to forming an unholy alliance that will overturn history. Full of action, with a pace that never lets up and a tongue firmly placed in cheek Stan Nicholl¿s epic trilogy nevertheless manages to hit home hard about religion, the show more way we treat the natural world, how we see those who are different from us. Praised by all the reviewers and by writers as diverse as David Gemmell and Tad Williams it is a major achievement in the genre. show lessTags

An intriguing idea, but not so well realised as I would like. Yes, there might well be an Orcish race, with whom one might feel sympathy. Nicholls' goblins, are just not strange enough to be interesting. They are merely down at the pecking order mercenaries, and the world he creates for them leaves me cold. At some point, I may toss the lot for better use of shelf space.
Terzo volume di tre ma la storia è una sola : bella e complessa avventura di un gruppo di orchi fuggiaschi inseguiti da interi eserciti fedeli alla cattivissima regina. Storia piuttosto classica ma con molti spunti originali, sopratutto di personaggi e relative vicissitudini, un mondo fantastico articolato e ben strutturato, con molti elementi che stimolano l'attenzione del lettore, se pur non originalissimi.
Nicholls scrive bene ma sopratutto è bravo a strutturare la storia, evitando al lettore momenti di noia e/o stanchezza.
Alla fine il Fantasy si assomiglia un po' tutto ma quando è ben scritto e abbastanza originale come questo si legge ancora volentieri.

Nicholls går från banbrytande till dussinvara inom loppet av en relativt kort trilogi. Trist, för det började verkligen fascinerande med omkastade perspektiv och gripande karaktärer.
