Product Description

Arithon, Master of Shadow, has mastered the maze and achieved self-redemption. Now he's the guest of the formidable Sorcerer, Davien the Betrayer, an enigmatic recluse, and a peril in his own right. No faction knows how that influence will try Arithon's recovered mage power, or the new depths that have wakened a latent, rogue talent for prescience. Relentless enemies stop at nothing to achieve his downfall, but Arithon, opts for the most dangerous course. Heart and mind, he dedicates himself not to kill, though allies and enemies muster for war, single mindedly blind to the consequence.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Can't wait for the next book., Oct. 4 2007
Par Zeke Zimonick (Saskatoon, SK) - Voir tous mes commentaires

In all the previous books there has never been a feeling of success. By this I mean that it never seems that Arithon is getting any closer to winning. He is always just finding stop gate methods to prolong the battle. Finally, in this book he makes some headway to a real solution. By the end of the book I was openly cheering Arithon on and drooling in anticipation over what is going to happen in the next book. This was an excellent addition to the Wars of Light and Shadow series.

5.0étoiles sur 5 When will Arithon ever win?, Aoû 21 2007
Par Angus F. Bickerton (Brockville, ON Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Once again, Janny Wurts keeps the reader spellbound with a fantasy that is so rich and complex that the detail rivals our own world. This is no sword-and-sorcery schlock, nor is it another Tolkien imitation. Rather, it is world-building on the scale of Tolkien, but with originality that is Wurts' own. Like Tolkien and other great fantasy writers (Robert Jordan, George RR Martin), these books, because of the complexity of the plot and sub-plots, cannot stand alone.

This is the penultimate book in the Alliance of Light Arc of the series, and sets up the finale of the Arc with the forthcoming book, Stormed Fortress, which is available in the United Kingdom, Austrailia and New Zealand in November, 2007. There is, as yet, no North American publisher with the demise of Meisha Merlin earlier this year.

Some have complained that the writing is too complex, but that is why I like this series. It is adult-level, intelligent fantasy, with a deep moral core to the story, and an excellent illustration of how might is not always, and in fact is rarely, right. Some have called the writing archaic and over-descriptive, but when world-building, description is essential. And the writing is artistic, not archaic. It does not display the laziness of modern novelists. This being said, Janny could, I think, have written this Arc in fewer novels, however, the complex sub-plots would have not been given proper attention, and the wonderful realism and tapestry-feel that you get from this series would have suffered.

There are some excellent parallels between Lysaer's Alliance of Light and Goerge W. Bush's War on Terror.

The whole series is five star, so it is unfair to rate any one book. They do not stand alone, because the reader needs the previous novels to orient them in the current one.

I strongly recommend this series to the fantasy fan who is interested in something other than a light escape. Start with Curse of the Mistwraith, and work your way through all the books (Ships of Merior, Warhost of Vastmark, Fugitive Prince, Grand Conspiracy, Peril's Gate, Traitor's Knot, Stormed Fortress (forthcoming Nov. 2007 in UK, Aus and NZ)) or you will be lost. Also, this ensures that there is lots of wonderful and inspired writing for the discerning reader to enjoy. It still boggles my mind that we in North America have been denied a decent marketing of this series, which is easily the best ongoing series in modern epic fantasy. When will the publishing houses wake up, back this author and market an amazing catalogue of work? If they do, the series will make them money, because it is GREAT!
