The Chathrand Voyage

review 1: This book concludes the journey of the Chathrand and the journey to destroy the threat posited by the nilstone and the swarm. It is very week written conclusion of the journey of Paazel, Thasha, Neeps, Hercol, Neda and so many others as the world falls apart around from various threats. The book concludes in a semi-round about way but it wraps up what happens to all the major characters after the threat of the nilstone and the swarm are no longer in there world.
review 2: A lot of potential in this one, but it never quite worked. Most of this I attribute to the author not knowing exactly what audience he was writing to-- violent (but not too violent) descriptors of battle, explicit (but not really that explicit) sex scenes, evil (but not too evil) characters a... morend so forth. When things happen, you don't really get that visceral twist-- instead of that its just a voice saying "oh no, but I really liked so-and-so, why did he have to die?", kind of similar to how Felthrup narrates the story in a pretty detached way. But before I'm too much of a downer, there are some beautifully written passages scattered throughout the book/series. It's not a bad story by any means, and I look forward to more by this author. less
