review 1: Magie ve svete na technologicke urovni kolem Napoleonskych valek. Musim uznat, ze autor si dobre nastudoval danou dobu, v prvnim dile tedy zejmena linearni taktiku, cimz jsem byl hodne prijemne prekvapeny. Postavy jsou sympaticke, a knizka mi pekne ubihala. Nic extra, ale dobra knizka. Jedina vec, co mi trochu vadila, byla jakasi neuveritelnost postav, ktere se nekdy chovaly presne tak, jako nekdo, kdo precetl hromadu knizek o dane dobe, misto toho, jak by se v dane situaci choval realny clovek z te doby.
review 2: One of the best military fiction novels I’ve read by far. This author has clearly done a ton of research on civil war-era battles and weaponry, and then put that knowledge into a fictional world undercut by dark magic and demons. To me, it was a re... morefreshing change of pace from the usual fantasy novel. The action started early, the characters were fascinating, and, most importantly, it felt authentic and engaging. Unlike other fantasy series, which regularly switch P.O.V’s from soldiers to noncombatants, The Thousand Names keeps you in the heart of the army, battles and all, throughout the entire book. I would have expected to be worn down by this after awhile, but I LOVED it. The extensive character building and personal conflicts really enriched a storyline that could have turned dry and sluggish with the wrong tone. Overall, Wexler satisfied everything I hoped for in this flintlock fantasy. There’s no better feeling than looking forward to a book and being sufficiently rewarded all the way through! less
