The Ashes Saga

review 1: A terrible version of the king killer chronicle. The book was alright, but this author shamelessly stole all of the small details that made the other series so successful. I wouldn't be surprised if i found out that this guy had the the Name Of The Wind open while he was writing the ashes saga. Let me mention a few of the things i noticed. First the main characters parents belong to a traveling troop and his mom is a noble who ran away to from home to be with the dad. Next the main character gets abandoned in a big city and immediately gets the only things that he holds dear taken by some street kids(just like Kvothe). Then we find out that he has a thirst for knowledge that can only be quenched in a place called "the stacks" dude didn't even bother to change the name. Nex... moret and this is the craziest one in my opinion because it was so clearly unique to the kkc series. In reference to magic the main characters mentor mentions something called "the sleeping mind" and then goes on to describe the sleeping mind in the exact same terms that Elodin uses when explaining how to call the wind. And finally the structure of the book, telling the story from a point far in the future is also stolen.
review 2: An old man in a bar tells of his first years, the first five spent in a Dungeon. Edward M. Knight starts his adventures of Dagan in a medieval world in which unwanted children are thrown into a gladiatorial arena for wagers like the wagers in a cock fight. Dagan manages to escape with A Thirst for Vengence (paper from Edwards Publishing which I bought electronically). He learns to live on the streets, and eventually to get some training in magic before his new benefactor helps him rob the arena. Fun, dark and gritty. I can’t wait for the next adventure.
