review 1: Tant qu'a avoir lu les deux premiers livres, j'étais aussi bien prêt à lire la suite.Je n'ai pas grand chose à dire de plus sur ce livre, à part qu'il est aussi intense que le deuxième sinon un peu plus, que l'auteur ne nous laisse aucune questions non répondu, que la guerre escalade au niveau supérieur et que le livre se lit vraiment très bien.La seule critique qui fait que je ne peux donner sa cinquième étoile à ce livre c'est que la fin est une peu "cheap". L'auteur à un peu forcé le happy end sur cet te histoire et mon côté noir aurais aimer une fin différente avec une morale et non une fin happy end où tout rentre dans l'ordre.Plusieurs sauront apprécier la fin pour ce qu'elle est mais pour ma part j'aurais préféré une avenu différente.Encore u... morene fois Seven Suns était de loin supérieur donc mieux noté. Un bon livre qui vaut la peine d'être lu si vous avez lu les deux premiers livres.
review 2: Three and a half stars, really, but it was an enjoyable fast read and he gets the fourth star for having good guys and bad guys on both sides. Anderson continues with the dizzying array of characters and plot threads. Some of the characters get richer and more interesting. Others become caricatures - Hannes, Mateo, "the big Ninghal", and others. I was going to say that real people are never like that, and until the Tea Party arose very few were. Today, ideology is triumphing over facts all over the place, and we have far too many extremist presters and sikaras. For every disappointingly-predictable plot development, there was another that the author must have pulled out of his, er, reserve of emergency ideas when he realized he had painted himself into a corner. There's too much magic in this one, and it's too powerful. It comes too close to Superman being able to fly around the world and make it didn't happen. Bouras was a bad idea, logistically ridiculous and wisely abandoned. And why did Ystya matter in the end? Didn't care for the way Joron was handled. Ondun was OK. Surprised that we didn't hear about Mailes in the last chapters. And there's a lot of hand-waving and "hey, look over here" in the handling of Captain Shay. And the navigability of the airships. Plus a few points for killing off some of the characters. Some you could see coming a mile away, others were a surprise, and near the end, well, I shouldn't tell you and I won't but whatever it is there was too much of it. All in all, like many large books and series, this is one that rewards the fast reader who isn't going to be too picky on details. less
