Chronicle Supposing 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.

Criticism Appertaining To Books Shaman's Crossing (The Soldier Son #1)

A young man grows up in a sheltered and privileged adolescence and then enters a military academy to begin his training as the soldier son of his father. Dark magic from the mysterious Speck tribe, political upheavals at home, a new plague sickness spreading in the borderlands, and good old-fashioned twattery combine to make it a difficult first year. I was told by several people when starting this that it wasn't their favourite Hobb book, that it was difficult/boring/odd. I found it none of

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

**Update. Below is the review I wrote when i read this book. Sadly I completely disliked what came next. I guess it happens.**Allow me a little leeway here. I tend to like plot driven books, but to be fair there are some wonderful character driven books that have drawn me in and I've loved. I like a character to be well written and clearly drawn, to be "true to him/herself". In other words not to suddenly change and do something "completely out of character" because the story suddenly needs it



Robin Hobb is a great writer, and I enjoyed reading the first half of this book. But then it starts to get depressing... And through all three books it never stops. All of her books are a little sad, but this one was way over he top. Reading these books was pretty much the same as being emotionally beat up. I read all three books because I kept waiting for things to get better... I thought it was impossible to write a whole trilogy that depressing. I was wrong.

So I've given this novel 3 stars as I feel that it is the rating that best represents my feeling towards it. This is a decent book with some interesting ideas that are ultimately somewhat frustrated. Now you're probably thinking that stating the obvious is a weird way to start a review, and it is. The reason why I considered giving this book 5 stars was that the average rating was so low. When I see that a book on here has a rating below 3.5 I usually disregard it immediately. There are

I've been a fan of Robin Hobb for several years. I loved the Farseer Trilogy, adored the Liveship Traders, and enjoyed the Tawny Man books even if the last one fell apart half way through. I eagerly grabbed up Shaman's Cross when it came out, but in the aftermath of the house fire it ended up in a box, forgotten and unread. I recently unearthed it and placed it at the top of my to-read pile.Quite simply it was a disappointment. It was probably only my great love of the author that made me
