Check out me other reviews at So the story follows Ardor Benn, ruse artist extraordinaire, as he goes on his biggest heist yet – to steal the king's crown! The attention to detail, from single beliefs to more widespread practices from the characters, to the general population are explored and woven into the fabric of the world, without any of those pesky infodumps. And we have also an interesting religion. It was all very interesting and developed enough to stand on its own. So yes, It sounds a lot like I'm being very hard on this book, but only because I really see the potential. "The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn" is, at its heart, a clever and often amusing heist tale, the title character a charming rogue hired to steal the crown and regalia of a king. What do I mean by mixer? He's got his hands full with the man who shot him still on the loose, healing wounds, and citizens who think of the law as more of a "guideline". Its a science as well as mathematics. As ye all know I absolutely adore dragons and thievery. Then he gets hired by a priest to pull a heist on the king. Science today sees aging as a treatable disease.
Whitesides has also created an intriguing semi-scientific magic system for his world. The moon - that crimson orb gazing down like the giant blind eye of a moonsick soul - filled half the sky as it rose above the eastern horizon. In my opinion, a couple of small tweaks would greatly benefit the book namely a shorter page-length and tighter plotting on the part of Whitesides as ultimately, The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn felt overly long for the story that Whitesides was telling and suffers under the weight of its 700+ page count. He also serves as a valuable source of truth because we know that everything he says is plausible. All the characters are great as well! It's 1974 and Willow Greenwood is just out of jail for one of her environmental protests: attempts at atonement for the sins of her father's once vast and rapacious timber empire. Written by: Louise Penny. I am interested to see where he will take the story next. So I may be a bit biased. The concept of using different types of Dragon Grit (Dragon poop) to create different effects made each moment full of possibilities. 5 for my generalized enjoyment of the book, let's round this to a 2 star rating. If I had any regret it would be that I perhaps read it too fast, and so couldn't stay in the world for as long as I would have liked.
A fantastic duo in their own right, their relationship is one of the most organic I've read. The audience needs to be in on the ruse but they are also the mark. He was a perfect vessel to travel the bounds of the story; it was natural to connect with him. But I also didn't love this book enough to binge it. Magic is created by detonating Grit, a special powder made of various substances that have passed through the digestive track of a dragon. I won't go into the why's about why Isle Halavend employs Ard to steal the regalia but suffice to say that the reasons have huge ramifications for all of the Greater Chain and the safety of its inhabitants. The constant bickering back and forth between all the characters is a joy, it helps to make them all seem that much more real. Because it comes just straight out of left field and it *had* to because there is absolutely no way Benn could save humanity without some crazy deus ex machina situation. On the other hand, if you live and die by character writing, you might struggle a bit with this one. Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family.
Определено си струваше да се потопя в приключенията на ловкия измамник Ардор Бенн и другарите му. I really don't know how else to say it. If you've read it, or read it in the future, please feel free to shout at me about this fantastic book. The material used determine the type of 'Grit' you end up with. They were killing me! To me, a book pushing 800 pages says a lot about overwriting and a lack of personal editing. So I've been casually dipping in and out of this mammoth book for about seven months. I'll see when I get around to reading the other two parts of the trilogy. "A cracking introduction to a new fantasy world that demands further exploration. For me, it was thoroughly enjoyable experience, and though I could nit-pick some things, they didn't detract from the story. I enjoyed the author's writing for the most part, but I will say there was too much telling where there should have been showing.
I felt like too much of the plot was probably given away during the setup stage, where each character would precisely explain what the plan was. Ahoy there me mateys! 4) the sheer audacity of some of the plans. The ruses were spelled out too plainly, leaving no magic or revelation when we realize someone got duped. This is a novel that defies anything close to categorisation. Written by: Rebecca Makkai. A review of his other books.
Until I felt I got most of the gist of it. Ardor Benn is the greatest Ruse artist that ever lived, well at least as far as he's concerned. Disclaimer – I received an e-arc via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I don't mind an info dump in the beginning for hard magic systems because they can be complicated, but when it is consistent throughout the entire story it makes the action feel clunky and the stunts plot progression. His interactions with Ardor Benn, who begins as religiously ambivalent, are insightful to both characters.
I would have liked to write something a bit more insightful for this book, something to make it justice because, even if it is not perfect and there were some things that didn't sit so well with me, it would have deserved a proper review. If it had been on the shorter side 500pages or so, I think it may have worked a little better. Written by: Erica Berry. I'll certainly be buying the second book. Loved that Raek was not only the muscle, but also the clever one in terms of maths and science and equations, reminded me a lot of Jean. She's knowledgeable on dragons and compared to the other criminal members of the Harvesting team she's innocent and naive and there was just something endearing about her. I laughed quite a lot and there are some scenes that seem cinematic.
Narrated by: Jim Dale. Plotwise, it is to be expected that nothing will exactly go smoothly for Ard and his team. Moving on to the romance between Ard and Quarrah. Sometimes I think I'm harder on the ones that are special, but It's because I feel frustrated that something so great is held back by so many minor flaws. I laughed my way through this book. I probably should stop, because this is getting to be one of the longest book reviews I've written. Wouldn't have hurt them to have another member of crew. A refreshing aspect is that we are allowed inside the mind of the mentor figure, religious leader Isle Halavand. Narrated by: Caitlin Davies. Narrated by: Dion Graham, January LaVoy. The villain of the piece does unfortunately hold things back, as they are rather threadbare, and too vulnerable to their insecurities to take seriously. Occasional willing suspensions of disbelief are one thing, but don't ask me to do it over and over again. The magic is obtained from different origins, and so a very complex system is created, which adds even more tension to the story.
"This is one of those stories that begins with a female body. The chapters of the story that take place in the Mooring, a religious building and that revolve around Isle Halavend and Lyndel, a Trothian Agrodite priestess are interesting. I would've much preferred if feelings were hinted at in this book and then further explored in the next one. But that doesn't seem to truly do the book justice, you know? Some of the things that Ardor and Raek (see the next paragraph to know more about him) create are amazing. 784 pages, Paperback. Didn't affect my enjoyment at all, but did pull me out of the immersion for a bit.
Did I also mention that this is hilarious? Readers need to be invested in the characters during the first act, and I was definitely invested. The concept brings to mind Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn, but with added dragon poop. It's an enjoyable tale, for the most part, but I'm left standing like Oliver Twist, with a bowl in my hand and a still-growling stomach that I'll have to look elsewhere to fill. Will definitely take a look at book 2 and hope it gets more adventure, less save the world, universe etc. Ehh, I had some other stuff to say about this book but I've already forgotten, even though I just finished it 20 minutes ago. To anyone struggling here, I'd recommend sticking with it.
