Kurzmeinung:

Obwohl es eines der kürzesten Bücher in der Reihe ist, so wirkte es wie das längste. Bis Seite 500 passiert beinahe gar nichts, außer das die Charaktere debattieren, diskutieren, reden, sich versuchen gegenseitig auszumanövrieren, Intrigen zu spinnen und das Ganze wieder von vorne. Und dies bei wirklich jedem einzelnen Charakter. Selbst Rands Kapitel fand ich mit unter sehr enttäuschend, denn auch hier passierte nicht viel.

Der Krieg gegen die Seanchan war nicht herausragend, zu wenig Szenen und Beschreibungen. Dennoch wurde es dann spannend, als Rand endlich nicht mehr passiv und verletzt vom Seitenrand zusah. Er hat mit diesem Buch seinen Tiefpunkt erreicht, seine Arroganz, Kälte und der immer stärker werdende Wahnsinn fordern einen hohen Preis. 

Beim Ende geht es wie gewohnt schlag auf schlag und wir kommen aus der Spannung nicht mehr raus. Schade nur das es über 500 Seiten gebraucht hat um zu einem Pageturner zu werden. Für mich bisher das schwächste Buch der Reihe.

Bewertung:

Sehr langatmig, wenig Story aber grandioses Ende!

  Book Title : DUNE Series : DUNE Volume : 1 of 6 Author : Frank Herbert Publisher : Ace Release Date : 1965 Pages : 535 Summary Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for... When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul’s family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad’Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind’s most ancient and unattainable dream.  My Opinion "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer." I was so intimidated to start this book/series but I desperately wanted to read it before the movie came out, and I would have never imagined that the story would hook me right from...

  Book Title : Prince of Thorns Series : The Broken Empire Volume : 1 of 3 Author : Mark Lawrence Publisher : Harper Voyager Release Date : 2011 Page : 319 Summary Before the thorns taught me their sharp lessons and bled weakness from me I had but one brother, and I loved him well. But those days are gone and what is left of them lies in my mother's tomb. Now I have many brothers, quick with knife and sword, and as evil as you please. We ride this broken empire and loot its corpse. They say these are violent times, the end of days when the dead roam and monsters haunt the night.
