The Wild Hunt

review 1: Elspeth Cooper in is book two of her series, The Wild Hunt, and “Trinity Rising” (Tor, $25.99, 488 pages), and not surprisingly, there’s no synopsis, and even worse, no map. Cooper constantly refers to geography, and her characters are wildly scattered on a pre-industrial world with magic, but the effort to sort out who is where and how close they are to someone else is not only frustrating, but unnecessary.And Cooper is a relative newcomer to the writing biz, so she doesn’t quite have the finesse of other veterans, especially when it comes to villains. (A quality villain is the key to any good-vs.-evil tale, as “Trinity Rising” is, and making the villain more than just a cardboard cutout who tears the wings off of flies just for the fun of it is a lot harder t... morehan creating a sympathetic and believable hero.)Still, The Wild Hunt is a promising series, and with two more books to go, Cooper should become more and more assured – and maybe even will include a map.
review 2: Disclaimer: received through goodreads giveaway.Trinity Rising returns with many of the characters from songs of the earth and leads us further into the veil and the world beyond it. We get to see more from Savin's side and his drive, go off on another adventure with Gair and Alderin, pick up from the end of the songs of the earth and follow Tannith back to her people and court and are introduced to another character Teia and her clan.I enjoyed the jumping around between characters and places as it gave a continuous timeline. This book brought more of the characters personality to light, their growth as individuals and how the song affects different people and cultures and how this affects the status it is given with in the different societies.Really loved this book and found it easy to slip into and get lost in.Can’t wait until the next book!! less
