Narration During Books Across the Face of the World (Fire of Heaven #1)

From the tiny snowbound village of Loulea, five men and women are about to embark on a journey that will change their lives - and the destiny of their world.

For two thousand years, Kannwar, the immortal Destroyer, has been planning revenge on the Most High. Cast out from Dona Mihst when he drank from the forbidden fountain of eternal life, his plans of vengeance are now nearing fruition - and he will allow nothing to stand in his way.

When the trader Mahnum escapes the Destroyer's prison, the Lords of Fear are sent in pursuit. Mahnum makes his way home to Loulea, but there he and his wife are captured. His sons, Leith and Hal, together with a small group of villagers, set off on a quest to free Mahnum and Indrett - and warn their world of the coming war.

Criticism Of Books Across the Face of the World (Fire of Heaven #1)

c2004. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the second one. Not sure why I have not heard of the series "Fire of Heaven" before now. I agree that there are echoes of Tolkein but that did not take away any of the enjoyment of the read. Courtesy of Amzon, the plot is as follows "For 2000 years Kannwar, the immortal Destroyer, Lord of Bhrudwo, has been planning revenge on those who cast him out from the mortal world and his plans are now nearing fruition. When the trader Mahnum

I did it! I finished this book Ive had for six months! It wasnt the greatest. A solid 3.5 for worldbuilding. A solid 2 for length and endless description. Theres character inconsistency but then theres beautiful scenery and such a developed backstory. Im going to try the second one. Hopefully it wont take forever.

The basic plot of the story has promise, but unfortunately the majority of the book is devoted to tedious and unnecessary descriptions about the scenery. By the end of this novel, I was rooting for the group of characters to reach their destination almost entirely to stop the running narrative about the landscape. If these rambling points had been cut it, it would have been much shorter, and much more riveting.For the main characters, Leith is weak and quite repetitive, with only one concern at

Slow plot and tedious descriptions make this a considerably more boring read than it should've been; at one point, Kirkpatrick spends a whole page just describing the greenness of the valley, the way the canopy blocked out the sun, the different plants in said valley, the ground, the soil, etc. If the unnecessary rambling about the setting was cut out, the book would probably have been reduced to half its size.The characters, particularly the main character, came across as weak and immature, and

i read 'path of revenge' the first book of kirkpatrick's second trilogy and was most impressed. so i went back to read this the first book of his original trilogy and was surprisingly disappointed. i believe kirkpatrick is himself a cartographer and he obviously has a vast understanding of landscapes and ecosystems. the problem is that he fills (what seems like) 75% of each chapter with grand descriptions of his world and severely neglects character and plot development. maybe some people are

A long and slow fantasy that drew me in over time. This book has taken me ages to get into--I'd tried reading it before, but didn't have the attention to properly give to it--but I'm so glad I finally read it. This fantasy is on par with the vast world of Tolkien's Middle-earth while being entirely different, and a little less racist, even if it's still a giant sausage fest with one female character having any agency and the other two existing to showcase tragedy and suffering. I felt some of

ok this was a well written but incredibly complicated book! Halfway through I realized the author is also an accomplished mapmaker. this explains the 42-eleventy towns/villages/cities/mountains/rivers you have to wade through to get to the characters! I couldn't quite finish it as it's the first in a trilogy, and I just couldn't see myself liking it enough to read all three. But if you're a huge sci-fi fan and don't mind difficult to pronounce locations in every sentence, you may enjoy it more
