Empire of Silence: The Sun Eater: Book One

My god, what a book!! Ive read most major fantasies and science fiction series out there, and one of the major problems is when an author tries to be more literary that they actually are, or if that literary element rarely appears. Great stories without the magical prose ha e less of a shine, and this shines like a supernova. There's a balance, you see, that only the best achieve. And some go just slightly beyond, with prose and style that doesn't insult, but leads to wonder, and appreciation, where everything is a painting, and you live the characters and qhere the story is. Rooted deep, yet without Robert Jordans incessant desire to detail every article of clothing over three pages. This book was amazing, a wonderful exploration of an incredibly vivid reality, and I enjoyed every minute. It's one of my favorite recent reads, and up there conversing with my all-time favorites. Bravo

He's very frustrating and ridiculously dumb at times. This could have been much shorter if the author had just gotten on with it. Still, it's a valid story and better written than many.

I love this series. The first book suffered from to many words I had to look up, but it's not enough to drop a star. It is a great start to a great series. There is a lot of deepness to the character that builds as the character becomes seasoned.
