![]() ![]() It becomes increasingly clear that there is a back story here that has been woven through many books, which would make the story you are now reading, a lot clearer. However, their goal of spreading the word of Emperor's Rahl victory over the evil Emperor Janang to the furthest reaches of his kingdom, becomes diverted, when prophecy leaves the world and an old witch imparts the knowledge of an old prophecy that foretells that Nicci will save the world. It becomes relatively clear that she has been damaged from a young age (which was a while ago, seeing as she's almost 200 years old), that has had effects on how she has lived her life until this point. However, it becomes harder to like her as the book winds its tale, when you realise that she is a heartless, murdering, uncaring, psychopath. I immediately love it, when the focus is on the female lead and the male lead is painted as a bit of a pompous twonk, with more care for clothes and jewellery, than for saving mankind. We start this novel as a heroine and a hero travelling through the forest, in search of a witch. The interesting thing is how it plays out when heroine who is destined to save the world, is a murdering, bloodthirsty, emotionally detached sorceress. ![]() ![]() The adventures they have along the way are fascinating, picking up a young lad, pirates and cutthroats, sea monsters and shipwrecks, villages plagued by evils with the ever hanging mystery of a prophecy that foretells of the heroine who will save the world. Summary: Starts immediately and sets the story with a Star Wars like scene, with the main heroine and hero starting out on their journey. ![]()
