Two more books; fantasy
3 May
Aside from the book I wrote about yesterday; The Lords of Strategy I also bought two other books. Both books are in the fantasy genre. The first is from a series I’ve been reading for years; written by Raymond E Feist it tells the story of Midkemia, its royal family and the magician Pug. Amazon describes the book as follows:
After nearly thirty years and more than two dozen novels, Raymond E. Feist’s Riftwar Cycle has become one of the most iconic, beloved, and enduring sagas in modern fantasy. The Riftwars—including the original Riftwar, the Serpentwar, the Darkwar, and the Demonwar—were epic battles between Good and Evil whose ramifications have echoed through generations. The latest entry in the epic, A Kingdom Besieged, ushers in the most fearsome threat the Kingdom has yet faced—the Chaoswar—a magic apocalypse with cataclysmic results.
It’s book number 27 or so and I started it a few days ago. It promises to be another great trilogy but I do hope Feist will manage to drop a few of the current story lines because it’s starting to become quite, how to say this, epic in scope.
The second book is Magic of Dawn by S.L. Farrell and is the third part in his first trilogy called the Nessantico cycle. It fits the following description:
Kraljica Allesandra sits on the Sun Throne of a much-diminished Holdings empire, while her son Jan rules the rival Coalition of Firenzcia. The schism between them threatens to tear apart the realm when they need solidarity the most. Facing powerful threats, from the rising influence of the Numetodo sect to the fundamentalist preacher Nico Morel-as well as the army of Tehuantin from across the sea- Allesandra and Jan must each find a pathway to survival for themselves and their people.
I’m curious if both books will amaze or at least satisfy, I’ll let you guys know!
