The fighting scenes where crawly.
But the thing is...
IT NEEDS A Proficient VILLAIN!
I mean the plot is expert only to me information technology seems like merely a agglomeration of guys trying to start a cult, how do they even know that they are post-obit a right path, I mean sure they are saving people and not really forcing anyone to join just withal, if there was a force of evil som This was amazing, I don't know if it'south the audiobook performed by Michael Kramer, who does most Sanderson books, but this volume really was Sanderson-esque.
The fighting scenes where awesome.
Simply the matter is...
It NEEDS A Skilful VILLAIN!
I mean the plot is skilful but to me information technology seems like simply a agglomeration of guys trying to beginning a cult, how do they fifty-fifty know that they are following a right path, I mean sure they are saving people and not really forcing anyone to join but all the same, if there was a force of evil someone to fight them dorsum it would've been perfect. ...more
This series is (for me) an absorbing tale. The character of the paladin is very well done here as is the human relationship with his co-protagonists.

So...yep, in my opinion the quality holds up hither.This serial is (for me) an arresting tale. The character of the paladin is very well washed here as is the relationship with his co-protagonists. We get here the story not only of the growth of a paladin but the growth of the a new church (this is a pretty typical fantasy world with multiple religions). Here we encounter a goddess who unlike all the other deities in this earth actually cares about "her" people or "all the people". She cares for the weak and poor as well as the powerful and rich (the ones the other deities are interested in). It seems that for some reason she had been lulled to slumber sometime in the past and had been completely forgotten (why was she asleep for a few grand years? Well we haven't found out anything about that yet...will we??? Don't know, but I tend to incertitude it. All stories demand some kind of hook. Here its the New/long lost deity).
So, again I similar the volume, I recommend the book...just of course I recommend you lot read them in club.
Enjoy.

With this series, this author is now in the short list. Do I recommend the series? Absolutely: because you simply *have* to read it.

Allystaire tries a new role of a mentor and in that location is still lots of work for the familiar role of the Paladin.
Mol, Igden Marte and Torvul too become new touches of brush to their portraits.

I've never been sold on the Paladin as an classic, at least every bit far equally them existence more than than something on the "lawful" spectrum. So far this serial has mitigated the predictability of the Paladin by giving him cooler companions, though anybody seems actually squeamish to each other all the time, fifty-fifty when they're ribbing? The "Deus ex machina" aspects ofttimes brand me feel like I'chiliad reading with no take chances, though. Wondering if the third book volition continue me on my toes.And actually, yous can't become wrong with Michael Kramer. He could make dissertation abstracts sound intense and ballsy.

As we drive on through this affiliate in the story of the Baronies and their globe, the Church of the Mother grows, as does discussion of their creed
Roaring right back to life where Ordination left off, Stillbright continues to charge forwards into its newly established world, much like a certain eponymous (by the end of the book) paladin. As nosotros comport on, the circumvolve completes, and we meet Gideon, the sorcerer's apprentice, last of the Ordained of the Mother, called "the Will". And what an add-on he is.As we bulldoze on through this affiliate in the story of the Baronies and their world, the Church of the Mother grows, equally does discussion of their creed and their deeds. The five Ordained are, of course, e'er where the real action is, and all are so well-drawn that they are all equally compelling regardless if they are together or apart. Anybody probably has their favorites, just all are then magnetic that it'southward impossible to look away, much less ignore them. A bottom writer would have turned Allystaire into a boring Gary Stu, but he, Igden Marte, Mol, Torvul, and Gideon all have fascinating secrets to unlock, and their interplay is fantastic. Watching them abound together is deeply enjoyable as well - accept a look at the somewhat mistrustful "bantering mercenaries" dialogue betwixt Igden Marte and Torvul every bit they race through Londray trying to spring Allystaire versus how much they all come to intendance for ane some other by the fourth dimension of the Siege of Thornhurst.
It's become fashionable in this age of knee-jerk grimdark to keep the "heroes" emotionally isolated from one some other, if not utterly mistrustful. But Master Ford has cheerfully thumbed his nose at that, and information technology is securely satisfying to meet a group of heroes who conspicuously love one another and those they fight for. If you're going to uphold a creed like the Mother's, information technology's going to alter who you lot are, and this is as information technology should exist.
I waited too long to review this ane and am now halfway through Crusade, but I volition try to bullet-list the things from this ane that stick out in my listen, which should be a good attestation to their staying power.
- Ally and Gideon's outset meeting, and how the Arm of the Mother can kill a sorcerer by literally laying a finger on him.
- The God of the Cavern. Enough said. This, and the story of what Gideon is, what he may become, and who he wants to be.
- Mol continues to grow spiritually. Where does the child end and the priestess begin?
- The concluding apprentice of the Stonesingers brings forth his forgotten art...and the workers of evil remember why they feared the Dwarves.
- Igden Marte gets one of the stories she's been later since she and Ally met. It's sadder than she wanted information technology to be.
- The Siege of Thornhurst, and the truthful making of Sir Allystaire Stillbright, Arm of the Mother, Paladin and Prophet.
- The heavily hinted at nature of the relationship betwixt Goddess and Paladin is definitively revealed. I'm withal not sure how I feel about this. Is it literal, meaning that the deities of this universe are more Olympian/Asgardian than I initially believed? Or is information technology figurative, with Allystaire only able to connect the intimacy and love he feels from his divine patroness to more than earthly and romantic equivalents? Is information technology somewhere in between? I'm certain we'll larn more than every bit the trilogy carries on to its cease.
- Some other readers take lamented the lack of a truly cardinal villain to struggle against, only I'm not sure all stories need to be that way. The emphasis here is on the growth of the heroes and what their destinies will mean for their world as a whole - I am reminded here of Jeremy Irons' line as Count Raymond 3 in Kingdom of Heaven : "I pray the earth - and Jerusalem - can arrange such a rarity as a perfect knight." As he predicted, such a man (or woman, or child, or dwarf), will not leave the world the same as they institute it. I recall that is enough of a tale right at that place.
Whatever villains have withal to step forth in the world of the Baronies, they would do well to ware the road that runs through Thornhurst, for in that location is a Paladin loose in the land, and his companions are probably even worse.
Recommended.
...more I actually liked the book for several reasons. I capeesh the fact that the hero of the book isn't Superman.

Yous know that moment when you finish a book...and you lot go to become its sequel, and discover out it's non coming out for some other year? Yeah, I had one of those. It's not very often I'thou honestly truly disappointed that I tin can't notice out what happens next. It's not that I don't bask books, I do, but nearly of the time, I don't mind waiting for the next year.This is non one of those times. No middle book syndrome here, no slow moments, I was riveted from commencement to finish (and a finish which, by the manner, surprised me, I had totally predicted the ending of the book and was actually wrong - which is both unusual and pleasing). Some actually exciting revelations, particularly at the end...merely seriously, 2018? Why Ford, why must you practise this to me?
Yeah, if yous tin can't tell, I loved information technology. Essentially, read my beginning review. More great character moments, several characters grew - particularly the dwarf, who is officially now one of my favorite characters. Fans of grimdark won't love it because you know, there's hope, mercy, and even some goodness in the world, just non in a corny fashion. Really, can't recommend this serial plenty to anyone who loves a good fantasy novel.
But really? I have to wait another year at present? I can't even pre-order the third one. This makes me sad.
Go buy this i. And the first 1. You lot won't exist sorry.

Some other fantastic entry by Daniel M. Ford, absolutely thrilling me the entire time. I haven't been this excited virtually a book, sound or physical, in a very long fourth dimension.

I was getting more than thrilled with each folio and can't wait for the adjacent book.
