The narration made this book. The story was a rehash of known common ideas. Though, for those fresh to the ideas, I am sure this book is profound.

Historia
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Excellent Writing !
Revisado: 09-17-22
The 1st book in the Stormlight Archive series. Brandon Sanderson's World building is excellent. Highly Recommended.
Michael Kramer does an excellent job at voicing and Kate Reading, Truth be known, it took over half the book to get into her cadence and style. By the end of this series, she grew and I ended up liking her performance as well.

Historia
The stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Lancelot and Guinevere, Galahad, Gawain, Tristan and the rest of the Knights of the Roundtable, and the search for the Holy Grail have been beloved for centuries and are the inspiration of many modern fantasy novels, films, and shows. These legends began when an obscure Celtic hero named Arthur stepped on to the stage of history sometime in the sixth century, generating a host of oral tales that would be inscribed some 900 years later by Thomas Malory in his classic Morte D’Arthur (The Death of Arthur).

A good collection. I struggled with the constant dissonance between ethics and obvious sexism and just letting the stories flow.

Historia
Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

obviously Anne Rice is burdened by her religious background.she seems fixated and stuck on it throughout all of her books. Although fantasy, I would like to see some reality when it comes to how pagans address their own worship.

I can't help but love the Dresden Files. It's kind of a love and hate relationship I think Jim butcher's done excellent job crafting these books. However , the editors and the actors and everybody needs to actually respect what he has written and speak the words that he uses correctly. When you're pulling things from actual places like Norse mythology and Welsh mythology they have a specific way of being pronounced. And I would really hope that they will go back and redo those parts so that they're pronouncing the words correctly!!!! It's a huge distraction and a disservice to what Jim butcher has tried to create.

Entertaining if you stick with it.
Revisado: 01-13-20
I'm pretty much in love with a story and the landscape of The Witcher. I really like the gentleman's voice who is narrating this. The stories are a little just disjointed which when you get used to the rhythm of it is just fine. it's like the difference between watching a European movie and American movie. You're kind of expected to show up and use your brains as well as your heart to understand the story. which makes sense since the man who wrote this is Polish. really fleshes out things you missed from both the Netflix series and the gaming series. All in all I like this world.

Historia
Picking up from A Discovery of Witches' cliff-hanger ending, Shadow of Night takes reluctant witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont on a trip through time to Elizabethan London, where they are plunged into a world of spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782—the lost and enchanted manuscript whose mystery first pulled Diana and Matthew into one another's orbit—deepens and Diana seeks out a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew's past tightens around them.

Dome of the best storytelling ever. It takes a intelligent historian who also feels like a human being too write such works.
