Rendition Concering Books Der Fluch der Götter (The Sundering #2)
"Supreme Commander Lord Tanaros was once human. But he chose darkness and immortality when his wife betrayed him with his king. He killed them both and fled the realms of Men, and now cares nothing for their fates." "A thousand years passed. His only allegiance is to his master, the dark god Satoris, who gave the gift of Life to the race of Men. Satoris rebelled against his elder brother, the god Haomane, who had demanded that gift be taken away. Their fight cracked the very world in two; the name of Satoris became the word for evil throughout all the races, while the legend of Tanaros is the seminal tale of treachery." "And yet not all tales told are true." "A final prophecy has begun to unfold, and the races are uniting their quest to rid the world of Satoris. The elder gods and goddesses, stranded on the other side of the world, send dreams to spur all to destroy Satoris and Tanaros, but those loyal to Satoris know a different side of the story and try to defend their citadel of Darkhaven, where their god sits in sorrow, controlling his own dominion, seeking neither victory nor vengeance." "Satoris's followers capture the beautiful Lady Cerelinde, and without her the Allies cannot fulfill the prophecy. All who support Satoris clamor for her death - but Satoris refuses to act like the monster that he is made out to be, for he recognizes in Cerelinde a spark of the love that he once bore for his fellow gods." She is a great danger to Satoris - and a greater danger for Tanaros and all that he holds dear. For she reminds him that not all women need to be false...and that though he may be immune to death, his heart is still very much mortal.Rating Regarding Books Der Fluch der Götter (The Sundering #2)

Loved the duology, for the most part.I won't bother parroting too much of what other people have already said countless times on the topic of the LoTR bad-guy pov, and the grey-area epic fantasy war. It worked, with the aid of some beautiful writing, 'nuff said.Having seen that the author was known for a romantic/erotic fantasy series, I was impressed by the maturity with which the romance elements of the plot were handled. What could have been cheap fan service was expertly developed and leftAmazing conclusion to the story. Great writing, plot and characters. If there is one thing to take away from this book, it's that you should never believe someone is evil just because you've been told. Spend the coin of your death wisely.
Ms. Carey dives right in. Many books have some sort of review at the beginning, but this one has no such review. I imagine these would have been better combined as one novel, but the publishing world likes more.Godslayer was a lovely follow-up. Certainly had many tears at the end, which should have been expected as we knew from the beginning we were rooting for the losing side. It was like watching a train-wreck from the beginning of the book until the end. Nothing was going right. The writing
This is a review for the series. The other book is Banewreaker.If you hear "Jacqueline Carey" and think Kushiel's Dart, you may be mighty tempted to pick up this series based on that.Don't.There are no subby women with bottomless capacities for pain in this series. Heck, it isn't even D'angeline. Very little sex, in fact, and none of it kinky. Different universe completely.This is rather nakedly The Lord of the Rings but done from the point of view of the Nazgul. At least, that's the concept I
I love and hate this book at the same time which speaks to how well crafted it is. Carey continues to demonstrate her mastery as she leads us down the inexorable path of her characters. My one beef was that I'm not sure I buy Lilias committing suicide. It's true that she had attempted immediately after the fall of Beshtanag, but would she really in full awareness of what it would mean to the conflict have chosen to end her life in that moment? I didn't quite buy it. I also feel a deep sense of
A beautiful and heart wrenching story with some brilliant characters like Tanaros and Ushahin. This will stay in my mind for a long time.
