Season of Storms (2013)

Andrzej Sapkowski

Others: Negative

Oto nowy Sapkowski i nowy wiedźmin. Mistrz polskiej fantastyki znowu zaskakuje. "Sezon burz” nie opowiada bowiem o młodzieńczych latach białowłosego zabójcy potworów ani o jego losach po śmierci/nieśmierci kończącej ostatni tom sagi. "Nigdy nie mów nigdy!” W powieści pojawiają się osoby doskonale czytelnikom znane, jak wierny druh Geralta – bard i poeta Jaskier – oraz jego ukochana, zwodnicza czarodziejka Yennefer, ale na scenę wkraczają też dosłownie i w przenośni postaci z zupełnie innych bajek. Ludzie, nieludzie i magiczną sztuką wyhodowane bestie. Opowieść zaczyna się wedle reguł gatunku: od trzęsienia ziemi, a potem napięcie rośnie. Wiedźmin stacza morderczą walkę z drapieżnikiem, który żyje tylko po to, żeby zabijać, wdaje się w bójkę z rosłymi, niezbyt sympatycznymi strażniczkami miejskimi, staje przed sądem, traci swe słynne miecze i przeżywa burzliwy romans z rudowłosą pięknością, zwaną Koral. A w tle toczą się królewskie i czarodziejskie intrygi. Pobrzmiewają pioruny i szaleją burze. I tak przez 404 strony porywającej lektury. "Wiedźmin. Sezon Burz" to w wiedźmińskiej historii rzecz osobna, nie prapoczątek i nie kontynuacja. Jak pisze autor: Opowieść trwa. Historia nie kończy się nigdy…

  • Sword of Destiny

    Andrzej Sapkowski

    1992 · 393 pages · 6 reviews

    Others: Overwhelmingly positive

    Wiedźmiński kodeks stawia tę sprawę w sposób jednoznaczny: wiedźminowi smoka zabijać się nie godzi. To gatunek zagrożony wymarciem. Aczkolwiek w powszechnej opinii to gad najbardziej wredny. Na oszluzgi, widłogony i latawce kodeks polować przyzwala. Ale na smoki – nie. Wiedźmin Geralt przyłącza się jednak do zorganizowanej przez króla Niedamira wyprawy na smoka, który skrył się w jaskiniach Gór Pustulskich. Na swej drodze spotyka trubadura Jaskra oraz – jakżeby inaczej – czarodziejkę Yennefer. Wśród zaproszonych przez króla co sławniejszych smokobójców jest Eyck z Denesle, rycerz bez skazy i zmazy, Rębacze z Cinfrid i szóstka krasnoludów pod komendą Yarpena Zigrina. Motywacje są różne, ale cel jeden. Smok nie ma szans.

  • The Lady of the Lake

    Andrzej Sapkowski

    1999 · 554 pages · 1 review

    Others: Negative

    Ciri wpatruje się w wypukły relief przedstawiający ogromnego łuskowatego węża. Gad, zwinąwszy się w kształt ósemki, wgryzł się zębiskami we własny ogon. To pradawny wąż Uroboros. Symbolizuje nieskończoność i sam jest nieskończonością. Jest wiecznym odchodzeniem i wiecznym powracaniem. Jest czymś, co nie ma ani początku, ani końca. A to, że Uroboros gryzie swój ogon, oznacza, że koło jest zamknięte. Ciri, córko Pavetty! Wjedź w portal, podążaj drogą wiodącą na spotkanie przeznaczenia! Koło się zamknęło – myśli Ciri, zamykając oczy. „Jadę, Geralt! Nie zostawię cię samego!” Coś się kończy, coś się zaczyna. W każdym momencie czasu kryje się wieczność.

  • Golden Fool (The Tawny Man, Book 2)

    Robin Hobb

    2002 · 640 pages · 6 reviews

    Others: Leaning positive

    The acclaimed Farseer and Liveship Traders trilogies established Robin Hobb as one of the most splendidly imaginative practitioners of world-class fantasy. Now, in Book 2 of her most stunning trilogy yet, Hobb continues the soul-shattering tale of FitzChivalry Farseer. With rich characters, breathtaking magic, and sweeping action, Golden Fool brings the reluctant adventurer further into the fray in an epic of sacrifice, salvation, and untold treachery.Golden FoolPrince Dutiful has been rescued from his Piebald kidnappers and the court has resumed its normal rhythms. But for FitzChivalry Farseer, a return to isolation is impossible. Though gutted by the loss of his wolf bondmate, Nighteyes, Fitz must take up residence at Buckkeep and resume his tasks as Chade's apprentice assassin. Posing as Tom Badgerlock, bodyguard to Lord Golden, FitzChivalry becomes the eyes and ears behind the walls. And with his old mentor failing visibly, Fitz is forced to take on more burdens as he attempts to guide a kingdom straying closer to civil strife each day.The problems are legion. Prince Dutiful's betrothal to the Narcheska Elliania of the Out Islands is fraught with tension, and the Narcheska herself appears to be hiding an array of secrets. Then, amid Piebald threats and the increasing persecution of the Witted, FitzChivalry must ensure that no one betrays the Prince's secret--a secret that could topple the Farseer throne: that he, like Fitz, possesses the dread "beast magic."Meanwhile, FitzChivalry must impart to the Prince his limited knowledge of the Skill: the hereditary and addictive magic of the Farseers. In the process, they discover within Buckkeep one who has a wild and powerful talent for it, and whose enmity for Fitz may have disastrous consequences for all.Only Fitz's enduring friendship with the Fool brings him any solace. But even that is shattered when unexpected visitors from Bingtown reveal devastating secrets from the Fool's past. Now, bereft of support and adrift in intrigue, Fitz's biggest challenge may be simply to survive the inescapable and violent path that fate has laid out for him.From the Hardcover edition.

    The chimneys of industry rise over Adua and the world seethes with new opportunities. But old scores run deep as ever. On the blood-soaked borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to win fame on the battlefield, and defeat the marauding armies of Stour Nightfall. He hopes for help from the crown. But King Jezal's son, the feckless Prince Orso, is a man who specializes in disappointments. Savine dan Glokta — socialite, investor, and daughter of the most feared man in the Union — plans to claw her way to the top of the slag-heap of society by any means necessary.

With the help of the mad hillwoman Isern-i-Phail, Rikke struggles to control the blessing, or the curse, of the Long Eye. Glimpsing the future is one thing, but with the guiding hand of the First of the Magi still pulling the strings, changing it will be quite another . . .

  • Age of myth

    Michael J. Sullivan

    2016 · 409 pages · 7 reviews

    Others: Mostly positive

    "Michael J. Sullivan's trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership and comparisons to fantasy masters Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, and J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Now, Sullivan's stunning hardcover debut, Age of Myth, inaugurates an original five-book series--and one of fantasy's finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground. Since time immemorial, humans have worshiped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and the those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer. Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom. And Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun"-- "A new series set in the world of the Riyria Chronicles. In the land of the Rhune, trees can tell the future and the gods are beyond reproach. But when Raithe's father is slain, he does the unthinkable--he kills a god. From this act, rises the legend of the God Killer, the seeds of a rebellion, and the question of whether the gods are really immortal after all"--

  • Furies of Calderon (Codex Alera # 1)

    Jim Butcher

    2004 · 476 pages · 6 reviews

    Others: Leaning positive

    For a thousand years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive and threatening races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the furies - elementals of earth, air, fire, water, and metal. But now, Gaius Sextus, First Lord of Alera, grows old and lacks an heir. Ambitious High Lords plot and maneuver to place their Houses in positions of power, and a war of succession looms on the horizon. " "Far from city politics in the Calderon Valley, the boy Tavi struggles with his lack of furycrafting. At fifteen, he has no wind fury to help him fly, no fire fury to light his lamps. Yet as the Alerans' most savage enemy - the Marat - return to the Valley, he will discover that his destiny is much greater than he could ever imagine. " Caught in a storm of deadly wind furies, Tavi saves the life of a runaway slave named Amara. But she is actually a spy for Gaius Sextus, sent to the Valley to gather intelligence on traitors to the Crown, who may be in league with the barbaric Marat horde. And when the Valley erupts in chaos - when rebels war with loyalists and furies clash with furies - Amara will find Tavi's courage and resourcefulness to be a power greater than any fury - one that could turn the tides of war.
