Explanation Toward 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.List Books In Favor Of Der Fluch der Götter (The Sundering #2)

I don't know how to rate this really, 3 & 1/2 maybe? Essentially, reading this series was futile - I was looking for something that wasn't there. I wanted something to change the structure, but it boiled down to a reminder of life itself, tragic and blinkered. You know the ending, even though you rally against it. You rally, then you lose. And you knew you would lose, but damn, of course you were stupid enough to rally. Which sounds much graver than it really is, it's just the whole thingA good end to this duology. Satoris is dead by Cerelindes hand, made possible by the Bearer quenching Godslayers marrowfire protection with a handful of the Water of Life. Tanaros spares Cerelindes life to keep his Masters honor intact. Ushahin is the last of the Three to survive. He escapes the siege and penetration of Darkhaven by Haomanes allies with Godslayer and the broken Helm of Shadows on his blood-bay to rendezvous with Calanthrag the Eldest in the Delta, spawning a new Age from the
It's been at least 2, maybe 3 years since I read Banewreaker, and I'd forgotten many of the details, yet I found myself comfortable in the Sundered world soon after starting Godslayer. I love how Carey tells the story from a viewpoint others than the light., and this series is told from the dark, those we would consider the bad guys normally. But it turns out that they're not evil, they're not cruel...or no more so than the "good" guys. It's a rare and treasured thing, to read the other side of

Find this review & more @ bookishsilvertongue**this is a review for both volumes of the series**Well, you know the plot of this one: for the first time in ages the Forces of Good gather together to rally against the Evil Overlord that has been threatening the peaceful people of a quite absurdly shaped continent. Meanwhile, a party sets out on a quest to help a Chosen One fulfil the Prophecy about the Enemy's weakness. Everyone knows that story. Or at least, you think you do.The whole
My review of Banewreaker, the first part of the series, is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...If you are thinking about reading Godslayer but haven't read Banewreaker yet, don't. The two are parts of one overall story; neither stands alone - so much so that I wondered as I was reading them whether Carey had written them as one book and her publisher had decided to split them into two. I think Godslayer is the better book - it's much easier to get absorbed in - but it has the advantage
I'll start this review by saying this book made me Hate Gandalf. If that isn't a recommendation I don't know what is.The sequel to Banewrecker, this book continues the tale of an epic fantasy-esque land, at once different yet familiar, in which the forces of Santoris, the Sunderer, the Dark God among the Seven who led to the present world, and his 'minions' are in constant fight against the forces of 'Light'. The thing is of course, we are getting the story from the 'minions' point of view.The
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
