Product Description

Review

"Come back to the Named Lands in this compelling sequel to Ken Scholes's amazing novel Lamentation "This is the golden age of fantasy, with a dozen masters doing their best work. Then along comes Ken Scholes, with his amazing clarity, power, and invention, and shows us all how it's done. Vivid characters, a world thick with detail, and wonders we've never seen before. I wish my first novel had been this good. I wish all five volumes of this series were already published so I could read them now." - Orson Scott Card"

Product Description

It is nine months after the end of the previous book. Many noble allies have come to the Ninefold Forest for a Feast in honor of General Rudolfo's first-born child. Jin Li Tam, his wife and mother of his heir, lies in childbed. As the feast begins, the doors of the hall fly open and invisible assassins begin attacking. All of Rudolfo's noble guests are slain, including Hanric, the Marsh Queen's Shadow. And on the Keeper's Gate, which guards the Named Lands from the Churning Waste, a strange figure appears, with a message for Petronus, the Hidden Pope. Thus begins the second movement of The Psalms of Isaak, Canticle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Second of Five: Hard to Rate The Series Yet: Books a Four, 29 Dec 2009
By zeev wolfe (MetroWest Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
Like any series with a definitive ending (at some point), it's hard to keep the action up in every volume. In this case, "Lamentations" set the stage for the political and social make-up of the 'Named Lands'. Geographically we were made to understand the different countries and governments that made up this 'world' and what had happened in the past (the Wizard Wars and the creation of the 'Churning Wastes'. But we didn't have much interaction between the main protagonists of the story except to create an ongoing relationship between most of them.

In this, the second of five (projected) books, we begin to settle down. Like any trip there is the excitement of beginning, getting used to names, places and people. Now it's time to get used to traveling on and thinking of how we are going to reach our final goal while dealing with the trials and tribulations that go with a long journey through 'unknown country' (ie. the future). Scholes has done a fairly good yeoman's job at this.

Unfortunately, for me at least, there are a lot (A LOT) of things missing from this story. Maybe most of them will be answered in the next two books (before we get to the concluding book), but right now there are more wholes in this story than a swiss cheese. If there is an 'outside force' acting on the 'Named Lands', where is it located? Is it over the 'Spine', the other side of the 'Wastes' or further south after the 'Islands'? There's no way to tell and that means that anything is possible from hereon in, and that makes me fear that a 'red herring' will be thrown in at some time and make the story truly implausible.

Of course this is my problem and not the authors. But if you look at Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" v. Asimov's "Foundation" v. Herbert's "Dune" v. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire' v. Jordan's "Wheel of Time", some have not real ending (or seem to) while others are very definitive. Having only read two of the five it's hard to make a judgment at this time. Just have to wait for "Antiphon" to come out this year and then it should be more apparent.

Thankfully, Scholes isn't taking forever to publish each book (two in less than one year). Nor is it lingering because it seems he has no idea how to get to the end (Uh, George, Uh Robert). We should know for sure in two or three years. So please stay tuned to this channel for further information and opinions.
