1.0 out of 5 stars Bad, Jan 31 2004

This review is from: The Warrior King (Paperback)

Just a bad book. Nothing else really to say except this series stinks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Irresistable....., Oct 26 2002

By	Jeff Sickles (New Jersey shore (Springstein country)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Warrior King (Mass Market Paperback)

Unwilling to summarize the plot or critique the story, I hope to
share with you the visceral joy of this book:

-Applying the discipline of not reading the last 1/3 of the book normally and spreading that portion of the book over 1 month to make it last longer demonstrates how much I enjoyed this final installment.

-Another reward of this book, though painful, is that finishing this story, and the trilogy it is a part of, leaves you uneasy about the finite number of books that only remain from this author for you to read.

-An environment is created that allows you to shed your occupational and daily stress and go on an adenture with a well crafted and likable protagonist. The environment is interestingly isolated and floating with no definitive references that allow you to peg it as of this world or not. This is a nutrient for the "Escape" quality of the story.

Don't hesitate. Start with the first of this series and fasten your reading chair seatbelt for a colorful and thrilling adventure.

2.0 out of 5 stars I thought I liked this series...until I read this book., Jul 19 2001

By	"vaelmont" (Scenic Jersey City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Warrior King (Mass Market Paperback)

Welp. Where to begin?

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, began to get distracted by the end of the second, and wished I hadn't read the series by the third.

Bunch likes to write about sex. A lot. In lurid detail. In romance novel fashion. That's not a problem for me, personally, but it gets really repetitive.

Worse than that, however, toward the end, I started seeing the characters as their function. Yonge was replaced by "Stereotypical unkillable thief guy", and Tenedos by "Evil Crazy Wizard muhahaha". Only Damastes remained somewhat three dimensional. Perhaps this is simply a failing of the first person narrative, or perhaps the series should have ended after two books. That will have to be left as an exercise for the reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still seems interested in his characters - amazing...
A surprisingly decent end to the series, going against the standard law of fantasy trilogies (in which the author has generally stopped caring by halfway through the second book)... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars less spectacular than parts 1 and 2, but still recommendable
The last part of Bunch's 'King'-trilogy. Again, Numantia is threatened by war, but this time three sides are struggling for power. Read more
