Book Reviews of The Bones of Makaidos (Oracles of Fire)
Book Review: Spiritually and emotionally gripping
Summary: 5 Stars
The climax of the eight book series and sequel series. I don't know what to say about the plot actually. It was fast-paced as usual. Exciting and original. But those are just adjectives. It certainly was a great way to end the series, though. After reading it I simply can't put my reactions to word.
there is only one thing I remember having trouble with in this book. At the half-way point in the book you really have to force yourself through. It is just really dry. The first two chapters in the second book are like this. I would explain more of why it's dry and describe it in more depth, but that would spoil some of the plot, and wouldn't want that now would we?
I learned more about the characters and understood them on a deeper level than in any of Mr. Davis's past novels. When I heard one character went missing in battle my heart pounded. When I found out one character was mortally wounded I put the book down and literally blanked out for a moment or two. I had no choice but to care.
Go ahead and hate me for it, but strangely enough, with my fascination of swords and war and fantasy in general, I'm a sap for romance novels mind you, but novels with romance. When proportioned right and well done I think they make a great addition to a novel. This book has great balance. Just the right amount for me. I love the finale in this book, but I will keep my mouth shut about it.
As I said in the Plot section, there was a period that was lacking the usual engaging writing. I had trouble getting through those two chapters, but afterward the story takes a jumpstart that is even more exciting than before.
Other then this I had no problems with the book writing wise. Not anything that stuck out at me, anyways.
This book was one of the most emotionally and spiritually gripping and powerful books I've read.
