The Half-Continent is becoming even more unsafe - monster attacks are on the rise, and every far-flung village or town is calling for help to fight them. Into this dangerous landscape the lamplighters must venture daily, keeping the roads safely lit for travellers. It is not a job for the faint-hearted, and every week there are reports of new theroscades. Foundling Rossamund Bookchild, sworn into the Emperor's Service as a prentice lamplighter, is finding his training at Winstermill Fortress difficult and lonely. His life is further complicated by the arrival of a young wit, determined to spite her famous mother by becoming a lowly lantern-stick. As Rossamund begins to make new friends in this sinister world, he also seems to make more enemies, finding himself pushed towards a terrible destiny, a fate beyond anything he could ever have imagined.

Members Reviews:

Worthy of multiple reads.

A fantastic book in both theme and execution. Excellent narration too; Bower reads life into varied characters, men and women, poor and rich and different dialects too, all within Cornish's fresh expressive language.

Thank goodness for Humphrey Bower

I chose this series as a alternate genre to normal and not least because of the narrator, the first book was entertaining and original with a good use of character. The second, however, has shades of Harry Potter and is trying to hard to invent new names for everyday items, the use of a single location with secret passages and an ongoing battle between good and evil within. fought by two understudies supported by a well meaning head and undermined by senior individuals could easily be mistaken for Hogwarts. I hope the third book moves away from this and regains the originality of the first instalment. For those that enjoy fantasy and want another version of the Potter series, this is just the book for you.

I am a devoted listener to books narrated by Humphrey Bower and would suggest to anyone that they should focus on his renditions, this series does however show his limits with many of the accents no different to those used in his Bryce Courtney books, I feel it is time he learnt some new characters to add to his repertoire.

Brilliant rendition of an amazing work

A serious and exciting journey across a land so marvellously realised. A real pleasure to enjoy Humphrey Bower's rendition of one of the most original writings since Pratchett created the Discworld. If you like to be delighted with glorious language, a hero that is brave and true, a heroine that knows her own mind then this is the book for you.

Wonderful Story and Brilliant Narration

This sequel is wonderful! In fact I would go so far as to say its better than the original.

I felt the first instalment was somewhat slow in places.... but this follow up has had non stop adventure action and some wonderful new characters.

From the start it has kept me on the edge of my seat!

Humphrey Bower is a wonderful story teller. Complete with different character voices!

Am loving every minute of it and really dont want it to end..!!!

Brilliant!

Book two was brilliant! Well read and a lovely development of characters and their fantastic names. At some points rosamond's earnestness drove me nuts but thrinity made up for it.

Liebe SdW-Hörer!

Oliver Siebeck ersetzt ab Folge 4 den leider verhinderten Tobias Kluckert, der nicht mehr für die Serie zur Verfügung stehen kann. Sprecherwechsel wollen wir natürlich unbedingt vermeiden, glauben aber, in Oliver Siebeck einen sehr würdigen Nachfolger gefunden zu haben. Viel Spass und Spannung in diesem Abenteuer!

Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, jemals eine so großartige Fantasy gelesen zu haben. Terry Goodkind ist der wahre Erbe von J. R. R. Tolkien.

--Marion Zimmer Bradley

Eine phänomenale Saga von unendlichem Einfallsreichtum!

Wer einmal mit Terry Goodkinds "Schwert der Wahrheit" begonnen hat, kann nicht wieder davon lassen! Pure Magie!

Members Reviews:

not a kids' book

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy is an OK listen for an adult. Don't let the animal characters fool you, though -- it's NOT for the kids. Too much blood, senseless cruelty, violence, and the like. If it is indeed optioned by Disney for a movie, it's going to require a lot of sanitizing.

Disappointed

I was enticed by the comparison to Watership Down, but was quickly let down. This story was just very flat and one-dimentional, in my opinion. The characters lacked any kind of depth, and the plot was simplistic and predictable. The narration was quite nice, though.

Book 2 is great!

Book 2 of Anna del C. Dye's Trilogy was a great continuation of the series. You will want to read the books in order to best understand where this books starts and how things "came to be". The women in the book have strong characters, and want to become warriors.

I love how although of a fantasy nature the story is very real and you get to know and understand these characters as though they were all human. And because this book was Audible, it was also "portable" in that I could even listen while driving or doing other things. I love that. The narrator was engaging and had a very pleasant voice to listen to.

The story is entertaining and engaging. There is a little for lovers of great fiction, mystery, and adventure. It's all included. I feel as the book would appeal to adults and young adults as well. Good read! Looking forward to what's next!

I received an Audible version of this book from the author for my honest review which I have given. All thoughts are my own.

Strong Women Characters

Any additional comments?

This story has strong women characters who want to be warriors incognito with the help of Adren. These women wanted to be trained to defend themselves in case their lives were in danger. At a time of crisis, I loved the fact that these women took it upon themselves to be prepared and were able to help defend their city beside men who knew nothing of their gender. In the last chapter, the men finally find out who they are. What a wonderful story!

The narrator was fantastic. He used marvelous voices for all the characters and kept the story interesting. I had a few favorite voices, which he used, that I really liked.

Members Reviews:

Impressive... Again.

I am an avid reader, have been for decades. It's been at least two decades since I was in my "High Fantasy" phase but I think this author is pulling me back in!

I was truly satisfied with the story in the first book, I found it to be an excellent read for the genre. I had this on the kindle and was expecting another good read but honestly I was afraid the second book simile could not be as good as the first. Having just finished this book I can say my fears were unfounded. The first book had everything it needed to be a great read, this book has everything and more.

Everything here is just more of what we got in the first book. More character development, more backstory for the world, more of the characters that made the first book so enjoyable. And we also get great new characters here that more than hold there own with the established ones. Because I enjoyed the book so well I am going to nit pick a little here :)

I only found two things that stuck out and bothered me a bit... One was the antagonist. While written well in this book Vaurgar was none too bright in the first and it took a bit to accept that tuis fellow was really anything to worry about. IMHO he was not built up in the story up till this point to be more than his father's lackey. Perhaps some groundwork should have been laid in the first book.

The second thing was I felt the alliance broke up too quickly. These groups just assumed too quickly that there was no outside forces to fear and turned out the alliance. After a thousand years if being in limbo one would expect them to be cautious and not turning in allies until they were sure there was no more to fear from the minions of the death god.

Great read, goes by too quickly!

Great book

I had never heard of M. H. Bonham before picking up these books. I enjoy reading different authors and finding little gems like this one. I picked this up with Prophecy of Swords and The King's Champion. Runestone of Teiwas and Prophecy of Swords are the Swords of Destiny series, with The King's Champion being a prequel. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend all 3 and I'll be checking out more of her stuff.

A good second book in the series

I enjoyed the second book, possibly a bit more than the first. There was more character development and more of the backstory. The alliances came together and I felt they should have stayed together longer to build on this entire story.

We also get great new characters in this second book.

I will continue to read the works of M.H. Bonham.

Fun read!

I read this a couple of years back and read it again on my kindle.

Publisher's Summary:

In the beginning of the sorcerer world there existed three primary colored powers - red, blue, and yellow. Prior to Lord Quill's ascension to head sorcerer, his predecessor ruled no one was allowed to marry outside of their respective color. Every sorcerer was a primary colored power. When Lord Quill took control, he did not want anyone to usurp his authority. Thus he ruled no primary colored power may be allowed to marry the same colored power. Hence a dilution occurred. When a blue colored power sorcerer married a yellow powered sorcerer, their baby was green powered and considered a secondary power. When a red colored powered sorcerer married a blue powered sorcerer, they would create a purple secondary powered sorcerer and so on. Can the the primaries and secondaries get along or will there be a struggle between the two classes?

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Die Söldnerin Monzcarro Mercatto hat alles, was sie sich wünschen kann: einen Geliebten, Geld im Überfluss und Ansehen beim Volk von Styrien. Dem Großherzog ist ihr Erfolg jedoch ein Dorn im Auge, und so lässt er sie kurzerhand beseitigen - denkt er. Doch Monzcarro überlebt wie durch ein Wunder und kennt nur noch ein Ziel: Rache.

Nach seinem triumphalen Erfolg mit den Romanen um den Barbaren, den Inquisitor und den Magier kehrt Joe Abercrombie in "Racheklingen" erneut in die fantastische Welt seiner Helden zurück. Action, Spannung und Humor garantiert!

"Racheklingen" ("Best Served Cold", 2009) ist ein eigenständiger, abgeschlossener Roman und keine Fortsetzung der First-Law-Trilogie ("Kriegsklingen", "Feuerklingen", "Königsklingen"), spielt aber in derselben Fantasy-Welt wie First Law.
