Note: there is no false light on Tel Verrar because the Elderglass doesn’t reflect the setting sun like it does in Camorr. That means reading through it again a second time was an interesting experience. Because now I have passed through the fiery hell that is Publishing The Second Book. urn:lcp:redseasunderreds0000lync_k9d8:lcpdf:2b5c469c-349e-479a-9aa4-d78ebe78b4ab Foldoutcount 0 Identifier redseasunderreds0000lync_k9d8 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s27z9wwcnf2 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780553804683 its intricately woven - no movement, no scene, no word is insignificant. everything is so interconnected on so many levels. I also felt that this book got incredibly preachy at points- which is kind of a killjoy for a novel that has two thieves for heroes. Lynch decided that he needed to push some kind of Robin Hood, working class agenda to make his heroes seem morally superior to everyone else. Nobody is reading this book for justice for the lower classes, Lynch.urn:lcp:redseasunderreds0000lync:epub:c77cf6de-eb2a-4bdb-8924-ee10604ff953 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier redseasunderreds0000lync Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t8jf7k62s Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780553804683 Two teams of two play Carousel Hazard. At the end of each hand a device at the centre of the table is spun and the losers must drink the two vials that fall from its great store. These vials contain liquor of varying potency – the harshness of which is covered up with fruit juice and oils. The only way a team loses is when they are too drunk to continue. Theoretically, because the rules say that immediate default occurs if a player touches the carousel, it ‘should’ be impossible to cheat.

its darkly humorous - oh my gosh. the banter! the jokes! the quips! the characters are so well-written and their interactions are always memorable. Kill the Ones You Love: Jean must kill Ezri because she is burned so badly that she is dying in agony Difficult. “Difficult” and “impossible” are cousins often mistaken for one another, with very little in common.’ On top of that, a lot of people want nothing more than for you to write your first book over again… because that's what they know and love. But you *can't* do that, because you only get one beginning. Lynch hasn’t merely imagined a far-off world, he’s created it, put it all down on paper—the smells, the sounds, the people, the feel of the place. The novel is a virtuoso performance, and sf/fantasy fans will gobble it up.” — Booklist (starred review)

Success!

However, like all the best epics, this is really a story about friendship, recovery, hardship, sorrow, and loss. The author knows his business and plays most of the genre’s tropes straight, subverting them only to make a point about honor and justice. Most of the time when outlaw characters “live by a code” it’s just an arbitrary mess of personal prejudices. Here, they struggle with the right thing versus the sensible thing over and over again. Difficult" and "impossible" are cousins often mistaken for one another, with very little in common.” The Gentleman Bastards aside, all the other characters are replaced with a completely new cast of characters. This doesn’t mean that the new characters are poorly written though, Zamira Drakasha and Ezri Delmastro are both a fantastic addition to the story with them being the strong and compelling female characters which the first book don’t really have.
