fun book- good plot
I attempted reading this novel about five years ago, but abandoned it after being bogged down for some time. Now, I have decided to give it another try, and am I ever so glad. Voyage of the Shadowmoon is actually a pretty demanding read. The world has a very “established” feel to it, even though it’s vastly different to the norm, and McMullen does not spoon-feed his readers. Bland imaginations will probably not appreciate this too much, as readers are often forced to speculate and draw their own...
This book was too long and unfocused. The climax occurred nearly 100 pages before the end of the book. Of course there was not one clear climax, but several small resolutions and the final climax was the author's attempt to set up a second book in the series by adding content to the story designed to make you want to read the next book. And I will admit that the best writing in the book occurred in the last 50 pages and I considered reading the sequel, but reality struck.The book was probably ev...
An interesting, fresh fantasy world to romp around in.
This was a very surface-level book, there's not much to examine in the way of themes or complex character motivations, but it was an enjoyable adventure nonetheless. While three stars might be more accurate, four stars seems fair.
A most unusal cast of chacters and environs. I am looking foward to reading the rest of the series.
There's something about this book, its something I can't really explain in a review, but I just love it. There isn't one thing I can point at and say "This is what I loved" its just the whole book and the way its meshed together.Sean McMullen has this ability to make me laugh out loud at a book and draw the attention of everyone around me and for me not to care. The part where Laron and Druskarl stumbled upon Velander and Feran is just too much. I think I read it to everyone who would listen.Lar...
Another fantasy novel, that could have been someone roleplaying session. If so then I want to play with that group, as this is not your typical 'the fighter engages the orc whilst the mage prepares a spell and the thief attempts to sneak behind' kind of fantasy story.A group of interesting characters, in an interesting setting, well written.If you like fantasy, then this is worth trying.
A bit flat. His use of the third person omniscient just didn't sit well with me, and often I felt like I was reading a description of a book rather than the book itself.
An interesting dark fantasy with touches of comedy and fascinating characters. McMullen writes his own style of science-fiction and fantasy. Perhaps his most impressive ability is the way all of his characters have real personalities. There is no such thing as an all good, all bad, or simple character in his books and this one is no different.
The best and most unique fantasy series I've read.
Took me about 75 pages to get into - McMullen's style is different than I'm used to and it was a little hard to follow. Once I got used to the style, I couldn't put the book down - similar to the reaction I had when first reading Steven Erikson's Gardens of the Moon.
Excellent readI received this as a paperback years ago sand couldn't find it again. If any one is interested in a read with plot twisted and a well played out storyline this is it.
