review 1: Well I'm glad I read the first half of this series and am looking forward to the next instalment. The books were good company for the chilly, damp summer we've had so far. There were some original ideas but a lot was derivative. The minstrel character seemed reminiscent of Hobb's (much better written) Golden Fool, and the varied cultures and landscapes reminded me somewhat of a computer game I used to play long ago! I felt the plot wasn't tight enough and we were expected to remember too many characters. However it was entertaining enough whilst waiting for the next Patrick Rothfuss to come out.
review 2: I was shocked at how amazing this book was. I didn't particularly like Heir of Night but kept reading and it was more than worth it. Gathering of the Lost is ... moreincredibly well-realised, something I value above most things in a story. The book is realistic, logical, yet lacks no fantasy elements. I found the characters more and more alive, with most of my prior frowns turned into 'well, now that makes sense' nods. I would most definitely recommend this book to anyone with a wish to read quality fantasy. less
