I liked the first series as it did feel a bit different and more real than most fantasy as there are no farmers/orphans/serfs who somehow become king of everything. However I think Bakker has over-compensated as his "reality" has most men as evil rapists and all women as prostitutes. Also the continuous philosophy is a bit forced - I do not want to feel I am being force-educated when I am reading a novel. Still it is holding my interest enough and I will probably get the next book and hope there is a bit more balanced. I think Bakker could really produce a fantastic novel if his editors could cut down the self-Indulgence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-9504185008308877802011-06-17T20:41:09.975+00:002011-06-17T20:41:09.975+00:00Just finished reading The White Luck Warrior and i...Just finished reading The White Luck Warrior and it was far superior to the (anti-climactic) Judging Eye. Couldn't put it down. I loved the fact that he's integrated more of his philosophical arguments into the actual narrative and dialogue itself, as opposed to often using asides like he did in the previous series.<br /><br />In any case, very much looking forward to the third book in the trilogy... hoping it won't be another two-year wait!nickbhttp://www.protagonize.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-27749309232903523542011-04-13T05:47:41.941+00:002011-04-13T05:47:41.941+00:00Thank you for an insightful review.

Judging...Nick, I completely feel your apprehension. Judging Eye was at best an average book, and looking at Wert's review, I completely disagree with it. But 200 pages into White Luck Warrior now and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I did JE. If Bakker keeps up this quality it should be an excellent book.Caligula_Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-68169405647875012492011-04-11T01:28:01.025+00:002011-04-11T01:28:01.025+00:00I don't know what to think. You gush over this...I don't know what to think. You gush over this release and give it five stars -- which is all well and good, for I know Bakker to be at least <i>capable</i> of penning a five-star novel -- but you also gave <b>The Judging Eye</b> four and a half and it was pretty dreadful. I think this will be a library loan.Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-40564861414248925062011-04-10T07:50:19.354+00:002011-04-10T07:50:19.354+00:00You just made me very excited :) Still waiting for...You just made me very excited :) Still waiting for my copy... and seconded about the "yesterday" remark!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-88619949932912424252011-04-09T23:53:20.314+00:002011-04-09T23:53:20.314+00:00"Your Order has been shipped"-Barnes and..."Your Order has been shipped"-Barnes and Noble Status on The White Luck Warrior....I am sooo excited for this one!!!!
