Banewreaker
Banewreaker: Volume I of The Sundering | Jacqueline Carey
11 posts | 10 read | 8 to read
Following the triumphant success of her Kushiel series (Kushiel's Dart, Kushiel's Chosen, Kushiel's Avatar), Jacqueline Carey now turns her hand to another startling fable, an epic tale of gods waging war in their bid to control an entire universe and the mortals they use as chess pieces in a most deadly game. Once, the Seven Shapers dwelled in accord. First-born among them was Haomane, Lord-of-Thought and with his brother and sister gods, the Seven drew upon of the power of the Souma, claimed a race of beings for their own and began Shaping the world to their will. But Haomane saw the ways of this new world and was displeased. For in his younger brother Satoris, once called the Sower, Haomane thought too prideful and in his gift, the quickening of the flesh too freely to the races...and to that of Man in particular. Haomane asked Satoris to withdraw his Gift from Men but he refused. And so began the Shapers' War. Eons have passed. The war that ensued Sundered the very world. Haomane and his siblings lay to one end of a vast ocean unable to touch their creations, Satoris and the races of the world on the other. Satoris has been broken and left adrift among the peoples of the world and is reviled, with most of the races believing that it was he alone who caused the rift and depriving them of the balm of the Seven. He sits in Darkhaven, controlling his own dominion--seeking not victory but neither vengeance. But still Haomane is not content. Through Haomane's whispers in the minds and hearts of the races of the world come a prophecy that if Satoris were defeated, the world could be made whole and all would bask in the light of the Souma again. And the few who stay by Satoris are viewed as the ultimate evil. And so the races come together to defeat Satoris, a being who helped engender them all but who is caught in his elder brother's warp. Strong storytelling with evocative, compelling, and unforgettable characters, Banewrecker ultimately asks the question: If all that is considered good considers you evil, are you?

Banewreaker: Volume I of The Sundering | Jacqueline Carey

Lord of the Rings, but with a lot more grey areas. This is a reread: I believe I've only ever read this duology once, and 200 pages in I almost want to stop because aaaah I know things can't work out okay.

I'll admit to being an instant and total sucker for Taranos: bitter, vengeful, and loyal to his new lord, with love ultimately at the heart of all he does.

Some of my good friends are moving across the country (boo!) so I got their bookshelves (yay!).
We had planned to leave the majority of the books boxed while we‘re renting, as we plan to buy a house in the next two years and will buy new shelves that fit the house. But my preciouses have been rescued! This is shelf 1 of 4! Fantasy/ sci-fi/ dystopian, coffee table books, and children‘s books.
I‘ll post the others later.

Chrissyreadit I LOVE it!!! So happy you are able to have them up on shelves!!! 6y

I was finally able to sink into this story and I'm really glad I did. I guess previous times just weren't the right times. This was a great story, dark and thought provoking, especially amidst current political climates. Definitely going to get the next book asap. #fantasy #bookriot #readharder2017

I think I've accomplished something like 2 hours on the #24in48 this weekend. Kids ruin everything! Hehe. It's been super stormy here today so that made for some nice reading time. Even with all the other stuff I had to do this weekend I did use this readathon to commit to actual pockets of reading, so that's good.

On the weekends I like to pretend that my kids will leave me alone for long enough to sink into my book and my coffee. Usually it's only for long enough to take a picture of said book and coffee. #Sunday #fantasy

Soubhiville This was a fun little series! 8y

Switching gears from sweeping historical fiction to sweeping fantasy novel. Jacqueline Carey is an all-time favorite author of mine and her Banewreaker series is new to me so I'm super excited to get into it. #biblioweekend #fantasy
