David is an incredible author and that's really an understatement. But to have the talent and creativity to connect his books the way he does is amazing. You read the Orcs or Gods War and you know the surnames of some characters, the Gods and cities in the Shadowdance series. And he has you turning the pages as fast as I am so sad this series is over. And he has you turning the pages as fast as you can to see what will happen next. Never are you bored or confused it all comes together perfectly.
I admit, being as big of a fantasy fan as I am some fight scenes overwhelm me and I tend to skim them more than read every word of the battles. Not with Dalglish's books though. He doesn't make them overwhelming he captures you in the moment and I find myself holding my breath and reading if he will parry in time. That says a lot for me. I have been with Haern and Thren since Haern was a quiet little boy who read in his room.
Watched him grow into a man and consistently struggle with his identity and the person his father wished him to be and the man he grows into against those wishes. To see father and son come together in the previous book and this one made me happy and broke my heart as well.
I smiled and I most definitely cried. It was a hell of a ride reading this series. I wish it would never end honestly. But it did so in the best way possible. And still he managed to shock me in the final few pages. Clever very very clever there David This series is the reason why David Dalglish will always be one of my favorite authors. Without a doubt he proved again he stands in a league all his own. An excellent finale.
Bringing loose ends to a climatic ending. I think I've left the series having more questions than answers. Yet, I feel that the book has completed Haern's saga. There could be room for a new direction if the author decides to revisit this world. All in all, I would strongly recommend this series and author.
Dec 19, LJ Waguespack rated it it was amazing. A damn fine story. David Dalglish ends an incredible ride in Shadowdance series, although their is a small, very small opportunity to continue or create another series in the Shadowdance world. I hope he does. Thsi series is well written, evenly paced, in an ever expanding magical universe, where one's power is always able to be counter acted by some very fast thinking, meticulous planning or by the grace of the gods created.
Overall, I am a fan, David Dalglish, work well done! I thoroughly enjo A damn fine story. I thoroughly enjoy your work and look forward to reading much more in the future.
Thank you. That's one of my favorite series! Besides the all violence, it's really a worthy reading. I didn't give it five stars to this book, because some things couldn't make sense to me. Nathaniel, I know he is a kid but, honestly, how could he open ways to Karak's prophet, after all the horrible things he saw and the fear he felt with him?!
Nathaniel knew he was pure evil, but he would side with him to "protect" his mother and he even couldn't feel that with him?! Alyssa in this book, it was kind she totally lost her power and confidence in herself. I understand that, after all she fought against guilds of assassins, was betrayed by men, she thought they loved her and was also betrayed by her mother.
But even so, I didn't see a good reason for her to kill the only man that she could've really trusted. And I also don't think Zuza would expose her secrets so easily to Muzien, since he was someone she wanted to crush. Well, besides all that, the book has lots of action. And finally, we got the epic clash of titans between Haern and his father, Thren! I really enjoyed and I think it was a fair ending to their relationship.
Some people can't never change, no matter what. And with so many awful things that happened to all the characters, it was good to see them having a happy ending. Jun 25, Christopher Gosvener rated it it was amazing. I was reluctant to read this series, but the wife insisted. I loved every minute, and it had a great ending to this fun ride. Thren, alone you built the Spider Guild into an empire. Alone, I will outshine you all. This will be the crown upon my legacy, forged with your bones and painted with your blood.
Muzien have controlled all of Veldaren, most of the thief guilds have pledged their allegiance to the Sun Guild. Unfortunately for Muzien, there are those who still deny the Guild and will stop at "Watcher, alone you conquered this city. Unfortunately for Muzien, there are those who still deny the Guild and will stop at nothing to see it crumble. Well what can one expect when reading the end of a series?
Fortunately for A Dance of Chaos it has everything to create a fitting finale. It is as the title says it is, it's chaotic but in a good way. The action never stops and the story keeps developing.
You get what you have been getting the past few books which are imaginatively written fight sequences. From duels of swords to magical RPGesque battle sequences. All of it were great and it is really one of the strongest selling point of this whole series.
All of major characters from the past books have a part to play, specially one that was sorely missed from A Dance of Ghost, Deathmask and The Ash Guild. This time he's got a lot to do and when he fights, he does not disappoint. Major character development were also done with Thren and Hearn. As both are fighting very similar inner battles as Muzien wants Thren to cement his legacy and Thren wanting Hearn to cement his.
More characters such as Alyssa, Zusa and our favourite a-hole Victor were also given a substantial amount of work as some of them have their own plot though not as engaging as Hearn's it was still intriguing to say the least. Nathaniel has been developed substantially as Karak continues to work his way into his mind having a huge impact in the story but the most impressively written character is Muzien. Muzien showed how great of a leader he is in A Dance of Ghost, here he shows how great of a fighter he is.
You can tell that Dalglish invested a lot of time with this guy to make him the ultimate bad guy and to Dalglish's credit it paid of. Muzien was believable in every aspect that he possess.
You believed that this elf, conquered the city, that he might be a god amongst men. As much as this is a great finale, there are some elements here that felt random. Such as a zombie army as well as an Orc army that came literally out of nowhere. Though little details as those did not take me out as they still produced a page turner of a book. All in all, A Dance of Chaos is a satisfying finale for the series and it's highly recommended to those who are familiar with the series.
If you're not then start from the very start as it's an epic and rewarding journey. Jan 31, LeeAnn rated it it was amazing. What a fabulous ending to the series! Book 4 was my favorite, but this book neatly tied up everything. It was full of action, and symbolism, and everything I love about fantasy novels. Still with the unnecessary addition of elves and orcs.
I just don't think this world needed them. But oh well. The characters, plot, setting, the exciting fight sequences mirrored by excellent characterization made for a nearly-perfect reading experience! I especially love the development of Haern throughout t What a fabulous ending to the series! I especially love the development of Haern throughout the series. It all comes together in this final volume.
The foreshadowing and symbolism make everything come together. Delysia, to Haern, pg "Stop being paralyzed by the sheer size of the task at hand. Be motivated by it I know you, Haern. Deep down, I know what you are capable of, and the great things you'd aspire to if given the chance. Would you give that all up due to the faults and failures of other men?
If you do, then you've already let them win. Download PDF Chaos Stream and download audiobooks to your computer, tablet or mobile phone.
