    Sehr genre-typische High Fantasy der 80er/90er Jahre. Als Hörbuch ganz unterhaltsam - aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich das als Buch durchbekommen hätte. ^^'

    I really can’t rate this book because I was barely able to concentrate on it. Maybe it was the fact that I listened to the audio book and the narration just wasn’t for me? Idk but I could barely keep up with the plot, characters, names…. :(

    When you stopped to think about it, he reflected, there weren’t many things in life one truly needed. To want too much was worse than greed: it was stupidity— a waste of precious time and effort. Odlično djelo gosn Williamsa. Uživao sam u ovoj knjizi. Uživao sam u svakom liku, svakom krajoliku divnog Osten Arda, kao i mnogih rasa koje se nalaze na toj zemlji. Iako je bilo par težih trenutaka, gdje sam se mučio da ih prođem i gdje je potrebno kilu živaca i strpljenja ( za koje iskreno nisam ni znao da ih imam), u suštini sam veoma zadovoljan i vrijedilo je svaku minutu čitanja. Williams ovdje nije izmislio ništa novo, niti u magijskom sistemu(magični mačevi) niti u priči(siroče koje se našlo između 2 zaratite strane i koje otkriva da je ipak posebniji nego što je on mislio da jest). Ali veliki plus u svemu ovome je kako je to sve napisano i spakovano... meni je baš prijalo. Opisi predivnih krajolika, opisi Norni, opisi snova. Tad Williams definitivno zna svoj zanat i umije odlično da piše i uvijek sam se radovao kada ću se vratiti knjizi da je čitam. Magičnih 5*
