The saga about it is excellent and absorbing. I am sorry for my part just a few things:
- First, the preface that remains in my tasteless at will by simply enumerating distressing banalities. We would have liked an introduction and foreword of a different scale to truly honor this great epic.
- Secondly, some cards are printed so tiny (with bold "slobbering") it is sometimes difficult to decipher the names of various sites.
- Finally, if some spelling shells remain, they remain on the whole marginal.
That said, getting back to the heart of the book, the story seems a little long to start, and on page 250, the author subtly captivates us with an extraordinary and exhilarating plot. We even catch yourself wanting to return home quickly in the evening after work to resume without delay the reading and devour chapters to find out what happens! The characters are particularly likeable searched and excessively, events are sometimes funny and sometimes sad, the action scenes are captivating and beautifully scripted with fabulous twists. The description of the site (the castle Hayholt, Aldhéorte of the forest, the citadel of Naglimund, etc.) remains in my opinion a big highlight: Tad Williams knows perfectly describe the atmosphere and scenery strongly pictorial illustration evocative. Another positive point: the feelings and emotions of the characters are deepened, so much so painfully suffering with them in difficult times and that a wave of relief overwhelms us when they are happy.
Finally and for me, past the preface (without flavor, without relief and without charm) the past few lengths of the first chapters (which however perfectly possible to lay the foundations of the plot and part of history, gold is knows how important this is in this kind of series River) I invite you to dive without restraint or moderation in this saga that represents to me an exceptional delight for any fan of fantasy epic fresco and quality :)
