Books—the warm, leather-skinned weight of them in your hands, the way they smelled when you lifted them close to your face. The unfeasibly heart-jolting shock once, as a tome fell heavily open at some much-visited page, divided itself neatly in two blocky halves along the spine—and you thought, guil...
„The Steel Remains“ ist ein Buch, das bei mir einen Anfall akuter, inbrünstiger Gier auslöste. Cover und Titel hätten mich fast sabbern lassen. Ich wollte es unbedingt haben, sodass im Klappentext wohl auch der letzte Quatsch hätte stehen können, ich hätte es trotzdem gekauft. Der Autor Richard K. M...
"The Steel Remains", the first book in Morgan's "A Land Fit For Heroes" series, is sword and sorcery for grown ups: people who can imagine what a broad sword does when it connects with a body and what it does to a man to be standing at the end of a battle, covered in the blood of his enemies, surrou...
The Steel Remains by Richard K Morgan What on earth did I just read? First off, the disclaimers. Disclaimer #1: this is a Morgan book. Thus, my review will contain profanity. Disclaimer #2: I'm writing this right after I finished the book, and it's past midnight. Do not expect coherence. I got...
A fantasy book that simultaneously shatters fantasy clichés as well as portraying the most pathetic of them. An openly gay and prosecuted for it war hero (shattered and clichéd) goes off to save a damsel in distress (cliché) and dark forces awaken and yada yada. Nothing particularly striking and the...
It took me a long while to really get into this book. It's the first of a trilogy (the final book is out November 20, 2014) which might be why there was so much setting up. So much info dump. So much "back during the war". At times it was a bit of a slog - thank God Richard Morgan creates intere...
Written in third person, the story follows three veterans of a war fought several years back. The world painted is creative and introduces many unique elements and, especially at first, shows a lot of potential. And then it all begins to fall apart. The biggest problem is that the characters hav...
So that was...a book. I suppose. Just kind of a mess. Some interesting notions and concepts, but all tumbled together with no particular unifying tone. I didn't care about any of the characters - probably because the book wanted me so, so badly to care about them, and to care about them just so - an...
Ameno, entretenido y... ¿original? No tanto. Me gusta el mundo que se describe entre sombras, y los personajes principales (excepto uno, que imagino que el autor se guarda en la manga para la próxima entrega) están trabajados y poseen entidad de sobra. La trama es clásica, y toda su originalidad rad...
DNF, haven't had one of these in a while.[tw: sexual abuse]Much as I appreciate the fact that lgbtq themes are creeping their way into genres and audiences traditionally closed to them, this just isn't a good book. Try as I might, I can't find anything in it plot-wise that would set it apart from do...
