Comment and Opinion:
Nothing, I've finished reading the second volume of this trilogy, particularly me this charming ... let's see ... I put a bit of background ...
On one side is the main story Kylar who, having fled after the attack Cenarius of Caernarvon Khaqlidorianos leaves to try to forget their "profession" of executing and try to lead a normal life and Uly Elene (the daughter of his late mentor and Mama K, who was the leader of Sa'kagé). His intention is to become a great herbalist using all the knowledge you have about plants (although Always had the poison used to and not to heal).
However, the destination will not allow you to fulfill your wishes ... wherever you will go wrong and people doing it and the inside of which is "The Angel of the Night" is the need to provide justice and although the promise to love you from Elene kill people begin to dispense justice if only on the basis of shared Smite and not killing. This rage "killing" Kylar slowly inside and begin to generate tensions in the rare "family" who have formed the three. On the other hand, the fate rages at him and things do not go more than worse.
On the other hand, things are merely Cenarius complicated and become very hard ... God is cruel king heretofore unsuspected and his troops even more ... the population is oppressed and systematically raped by the troops of occupation ... The king and his followers live God's suffering ... need to see people suffer to maintain power and thus the atrocities begin one after another.
The Sa'kagé, now led by the Jarl Kylar friend, try to minimize damage to the population and control the "lost" as it begins to organize armed resistance in order to regain control of the country, return to their real sovereign thus continue with its business crime as even before the invasion. But Jarl and Mama K. They know that to gain control again need to kill the King God, and only the Angel of the Night is capable of it. For this reason Jarl himself will go to Caernarvon to try to convince Kylar to accept your last job and end the life of the tyrant. However, things are not so simple as the executing Vi (disciple of Hu Gallows) the trail is going to kill both him and Kylar express orders of King God.
On the other side is a trio of magicians partners, Dorian, Solon and Feir have just separated to continue his mission to "bend" the world ... Solon and Dorian are directed toward the mountain pass of Aullavientos to help the lining of Cenarianos placed there because they fear that something awful might happen in that area ... something that nobody can stop ... something of immense power approaches for these latitudes Cenarius ... and up here I explain.
Feir, however, goes in search of the magic sword Curouch, to regain it and keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
Meanwhile, in the deepest pits of Cenarius, in the dungeon known as "asshole" is abandoned to the rightful lord of Cenarius, Logan, after having been hidden there to avoid death at the hands of the troops Khalidorianas is the need to survive among the worst of mankind and this must be reduced to extreme lengths to someone of high birth ... will literally become an animal to survive.
And here I am telling you the plot do not want to reveal events, and as I say that the novel does not even provide a respite peñetero from start to finish and actions happen seamlessly one after the other .. .
And now my personal opinion ... the summed up in two words ... LOVE ME, for a long time and did not enjoy a fantasy novel. Weeks In this novel, check the remains and, although the first novel was rather silent set in a fantasy without excessive development of the magic (man, something appeared, but one could place the story almost like a historical novel rather than fantastic) in this novel is full of magic from the first word to the last. The magical universe expands so amazing and the novel can no longer be considered "historical court" to become a novel worthy of Weiss and Hickman (Dragonlance I mean, of course).
On the other hand, the adult tone of the novel grows another point and description of the aberrations of the King God, give a tone of romance "for over 18 years" that left me dazzled ... those who expect a fantasy "family" and "All children" Forget and pick up the book ... here aberrations, rape and abuse are the order of the day and the author serve to awaken in the reader a feeling of nausea and desire for revenge which can justify the executions of Kylar almost as "a necessary" ... read one to make you want to be the same on passing through the knife like animals after doing what they do ... in short ... is not a novel at times Crios because it becomes very hard and if you have an imagination awake, even more horrendous.
However, this does not detract from adult tone one iota of charm to the novel and one might almost say that so admirable power the love story behind the book and makes the reader go through different moods in full force .... love, affection, tenderness, hatred, revenge, disillusionment, acceptance of fate ... anyway ... a kaleidoscope of sensations that I love to experience while reading.
In short, I'm rolling over the leg of a Roman, the book (and the whole saga) has enganchadísimo me and I just want to arrive in February and to see how the trilogy concludes.
I recommend it 100%
Kind regards
