I’m a bigger Sapkowski fan so I kinda hate giving a two hit rating. Our hero starts off as a trusting, ineffectual twit always getting his friends in problem. Sample fare but he never improves. The novel is that confusing unless for you know quite a little about medieval Eastern European history. That’s lots of untranslated Latin at the same time, I present, Polish sentences in the book. I don’t know if they’re important to the story or not. That’s barely it, I don’t know.

Rescue your $$$ at the same time take anything else. Bigger Sapkowski fan at the same time I read all the witcher books which were considered no one of my winner books ever. This brand new television series can shackles coffee to take a nap. One half method through the book (if for you make it that) for you will still be wondering if that is that no matter what meaning to the story at the same time the disposition. Can I get my funds back?

Audiobook The Tower of Fools (Hussite Trilogy #1) by Andrzej Sapkowski David A French – translator
This ‘brand new’ novel by Andrzej Sapkowski (initially hosted in 2002, but only translated at the moment to English) is that an historical fiction novel set around 1450 in the area between Poland at the same time the Czech republic at the time of the Hussite Wars (which also sets the scene for the whole book). The head premise is that the schism between the reformers, protestant Hussites at the same time the Holy Roman Papacy. Understanding a little of European history bestows a sweet background into the book but it is that not indispensable to manage to read it. No one of the manners are true while others are concocted; as such, no one should be famous by most at the same time others only for history scholars. For the coolest part, the global of the book is that true but that’s a little of miracle threw in. Even with miracle, this is that exactly more of a historical than fantasy.
Story: Our protagonist, Reinmar of Bielawa, sleeps with a married lady at the same time flees to beware the wrath of the wife’s generic. While everyone knows him to flee to Hungary, he constantly makes an growing amount of step decisions that manage him, at the same time his eventual friends, into more and more threat. I felt a little like I was reading Odysseus – in other words, if Odysseus was an dumbass.
This is that my head gripe with the book: the protagonist is that mostly unlikable proper to being foolish. his features is that fine-grained – he’s a sweet enough young man at the same time ordinary tries to do the right gizmo. But, data an function to do anything witty or step, he thrashes step every time. Right behind the 10th time it gets old at the same time for you really start to play tricks why the other manners shackles up with it or strain to come rescue him still again.
The other parts of the book are more successful. I like the history part (though that are so many manners at the same time names I totally gave up trying to understand them already in chapter 1). While I’ve studied a little of history of the region, I managed not really tell where the true stuff ended at the same time fiction began. It all feels very true. The description of medieval confessions is that with jeweler's precision at the same time unapologetic. Neither side of the conflict is that quality at the same time the fears inflicted in the name of a appropriate style of faith are vivid enough to become a little awkward. Similarly, descriptiona of the age at big are very sweet – this is that not a fantasy setting with unsullied at the same time joyful farmers at the same time authoritative knights. The global is that gritty at the same time maral.
The writing (or perhaps translation) style is that quality, though it is that very verbose at the same time flowery periodically, in particular the dialogue. That are a lot of Latin quotes at the same time if for you know the bases for you’ll get a little more out of the book. At the same time like I mentioned before, that’s an unlimited number of names at the same time places, but good luck for you don’t have to understand the extensive most of them. The story has a quality pace, though from time to time proper to the head disposition’s tendency to move in the wrong direction always, it’s not quite understandable if for you are actually getting anywhere in the story. I did not understand this was not a standalone novel until the very finish of the book.
For those who are thinking of reading this due to the Witcher books (likely significantly abundance): The writing style is that similar at the same time the global is that similarly gritty. The war of the confessions is that identical to the war between the empires. The head disposition is that like Dandelion without no matter what of the beauty plus a little of a authoritative streak. The story is that a little like the part in the Witcher where Gerald follows Ciri around the map without actually getting furthering the plot in the process. That’s a little of similar dry humor here, as but as the tendency for various manners to be surprising philosophers. In short, if for you adored the Witcher for you might enjoy this but it really doesn’t have similar beauty.
Reviewed from an premature reader copy foreseen by the publisher.
