4.0 out of 5 stars
Thought provoking fantasy,
By
This review is from: Path Of The Sun (Paperback)
Pros: detailed fantasy world, interesting charactersCons: not a standalone, slow moving at times Path of the Sun has Dhulyn and Parno, Mercenary Brother partners, involved in a murder mystery in the Menoin Tarkinate. They come escorting the Tarkin's bride-to-be, but a grisly murder causes them to pass through a Caid ruin, the Path of the Sun, in pursuit of the killer. The path leads to another world where those Marked with the powers of Healing, Finding, Mending and Seeing - like Dhulyn - are broken and put to death. And the Espadryni, Dhulyn's extinct people, still live. The identity of the killer is revealed to the reader early on. The makes for an interesting character study, as we see the killer interact with several people, lying and manipulating his way to his goals. As with her other books, Path of the Sun examines a new corner of her fantasy world. The peoples are all distinct, with cultures, tastes, politics, etc. that differ from those used in the past. Newcomers to the series will not be able to start here, however. Too much of this book depends on knowledge of events in earlier books. Characters from book 1 reappear, the trouble the partners get into in book 2 is finally resolved, and some actions from book 3 are referred to. Still, if you haven't discovered her and want to read a quieter, more thought provoking fantasy, Malan is a great choice. Her characters grow with each novel and there's always more of the world to discover.

Strong addition to the series,

This review is from: Path Of The Sun (Paperback)
A strong addition to the series, enjoy the authors work - a good balance of action, thinking, and good character development. Violette paints a good picture of the world she has created without out getting hooked on the painting of it (eg Wheels of Time)Spoiler alert below . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Warning - this book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger - the first book in the series that didn't finish off the adventure at hand before the end of the book. Hope it's not too long till the next.

If you like the other Dhulyn and Parno books you will like this one, too. Be warned, however, it ends in a cliffhanger. You may want to wait for the next book to come out before reading it.

This review is from: Path Of The Sun (Paperback)
I had been waiting for this book for along time, three years and i finally have it! I can't get enough of the duo. Violette is an artist with words. If you liked the three books before this, you'll enjoy this as well. It does not disappoint!

5.0 out of 5 stars
super fantasy,
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Path Of The Sun (Paperback)
The Mercenary Brotherhood in Lesonika inform Brothers Dhulyn Wolfshead and Parno Lionsmane that they no longer stand accused of murdering the heir to the throne of Tegrian, as the Prince has been found alive though his sister sits on the throne. The Mercenary Brotherhood assigns the exonerated pair to escort the Arderon Princess Cleona to her wedding to the Tarkin of Menoin; which means another ocean voyage for Dhulyn and Parno as the destination is an island. However, their Guild also directs the duet to investigate the disappearance of two members who traveled last year to Menoin, but have not been heard from since.They arrive with their charge in Menoin where Dhulyn and Parno hear rumors of ritual mutilations. When the Princess is found murdered, an apparent victim of the ritual killers, the latest victim's two former escorts follow clues that lead them into the unknown deadly Path of the Sun labyrinth. The fourth adventures of Dhulyn Wolfshead and Parno Lionsmane (see The Storm Watch, The Sleeping God and The Soldier King) is a super fantasy that fans of the sword and sorcery saga will relish. The accusation arch from the previous tales is nicely ended with a whimper rather than a bang while Dhulyn sums up their latest inquiry with her musing that she prefers a horse after several recent water logged escapades. Fast-paced throughout, readers will enjoy traveling with the lead pair as they enter a labyrinth in which few get out alive. Harriet Klausner |
