No current Talk conversations about this book. 4.75 I really need a minute, I'm lamenting the fact that I no longer have access to new Elizabeth Haydon books. My only problem with this was the fact that there were many perspectives throughout the whole novel, some that only appeared once or twice and had little significance, and I wished they'd focused a bit more on Ashe and The Three. I love this series. Absolutely love it. ( ) You're kidding, right? That's where you're going to end this book? Ugh I probably would have enjoyed this book more if it hadn't taken me so long to read it and if the next book was out, but there isn't any information on the so called new trilogy. Anyway, this wasn't the best book in this series but I enjoyed seeing all my favorite characters again. I liked this book a lot, but wished that Achmed was in it more given the title. The pattern of jumping to different characters for different chapters or sections was a little distracting in this book and made the story lose some momentum. I got stalled in the middle of the book, but the end picked up again as the story got back on track. I hope the rest of this set focuses more on Achmed as he is one of the better and less whiny characters. no reviews | add a review

The Assassin Kingopens at winter's end with the arrival by sea of a mysterious hunter, a man of ancient race and purpose, who endlessly chants the names of the pantheon of demons that are his intended victims, as well as one other: Ysk, the original name of the Brother, now known as Achmed, the Assassin King of Ylorc. At the same moment of this portentous arrival, two gatherings of great import are taking place. The first is a convocation of dragons, who gather in a primeval forest glade--the site of the horrific ending of Llauron, one of the last of their kind. They mourn not only his irrevocable death, but the loss of the lore and control over the Earth itself that it represents. The second gathering is a council of war held in the depths of the keep of Haguefort: Ashe and Rhapsody, rulers of the alliance that protects the Middle Continent; Gwydion, the new Duke of Navarne; Anborn, the Lord Marshall; Achmed, the King of Ylorc, and Grunthor, his Sergeant-Major. Each brings news that form the pieces of a great puzzle. And as each piece is added it becomes quite clear: War is coming, the likes of which the world has never known. Cataclysms, both large and small, await in this sixth volume of theUSA Todaybestselling fantasy series, The Symphony of Ages. A twisting, fast-moving tale,The Assassin King promises endless surprises--many of which lead to pain. No library descriptions found. |
