Explanation Concering Books Shaman's Crossing (The Soldier Son #1)
Nevare Burvelle was destined from birth to be a soldier. The second son of a newly anointed nobleman, he must endure the rigors of military training at the elite King's Cavalla Academy--and survive the hatred, cruelty, and derision of his aristocratic classmates--before joining the King of Gernia's brutal campaign of territorial expansion. The life chosen for him will be fraught with hardship, for he must ultimately face a forest-dwelling folk who will not submit easily to a king's tyranny. And they possess an ancient magic their would-be conquerors have long discounted--a powerful sorcery that threatens to claim Nevare Burvelle's soul and devastate his world once the Dark Evening brings the carnival to Old Thares.Details Books In Pursuance Of Shaman's Crossing (The Soldier Son #1)

I still don't get why this book is rated almost a star less on goodreads compared to the Realm of the Elderlings books. The writing is just top notch stuff. I get that the plot is slow as it usually is in most her books, but then again if you are already in love with Robin Hobb you know that it's the characters more than the plot that drive the story. It's the relationships between characters that provide most of the dramatic tension.Anyway, I loved this book. The story is told from a singleI think that part of the problem with this book is with the audience. I feel that readers are holding this book up to their own expectations and not reading it on its own terms which causes disappointment and, based on some of the reviews, even grief.I enjoyed Shaman's Crossing from start to finish. It is a Robin Hobb book through and through in that the characters are vividly presented and it had me pulling my hair out several times. Hobb really knows how to torture her characters and make a
I loved the school in here, so much like modern boarding school to me, not fantasy at all because it has no magic.
Oh how I wanted to love this book. Oh how disappointed I was! So this review will be the "Ode of Oh's". Oh how did this book get so popular?I was given this book by a family member with excellent reviews but I can't see why this person-who-shall-remain-unnamed liked it so much. I enjoyed the detailed descriptions of the world and the excellent character building (we literally watch Nevare grow) but the "liking" stops there. Oh Nevare, why have you no balls?Nevare is a fucking coward, and the sad
I think that most people will go into this book expecting it to be like a Realm of the Elderlings novel. Its got very mixed reviews and most people end up disappointed with it. Now I waited a good 5 months after I finished RotE before starting this. I read some of Hobbs short fiction in this time and knew I could read and be impressed by a story from her that wasnt set in that world. It made me realise that it wasnt just her characters that I love, but her writing and stories. So I ended up
I really haven't read enough Robin Hobb. She has flown under my radar, mostly because my first encounters with her were through the library, and I have this bad habit of checking out books in the middle of the series (ahem, Golden Fool) and then wondering what the hell is going on. Last year I read Assassin's Apprentice , and I have acquired the remaining two books in that trilogy, so I hope to finish that soon. For now, however, I've turned to the Soldier Son trilogy. And though I've exceeded
Over the years Robin Hobb has become an absolute powerhouse in the world of fantasy. After devouring all her Elderling books, it was time for the odd trilogy in the bunch: the soldier son. A lot is different in this trilogy, and yet a lot remains the same: there are mysterious plotlines brewing (excellent for speculation!), but at the end of the day, its all about the characters. Im more than ok with that Im a very character-driven reader. Yet what this book didnt have versus all the other
