Download And Enjoy The Language Of Stones Produced By Robert Carter Shared As Audiobook

slow moving book. Don't expect a fast moving plot, In some respects this is understandable, We are experiencing young Willand's the central character journey towards adulthood, We are learning the history and ways of the land as Willand is, I particularly liked the way Robert Carter weaves into the story, the stone circles, megaliths and ley lines of England and Ireland into the story, As well as the old Celtic ways, Deeluit een trilogie. Helaas heb ik de andere twee delen nog niet, maar hoop hier snel verandering in aan te brengen,

Beetje ouderwetse verhaallijn een jonge jongen onbewust van zijn toekomst, blijkt de laatste reïncarnatie van koning Arthur te zijn, gaat op avontuur met een oude magiër om de wereld te redden, maar wat is daar mis mee Het verhaal hield me goed bezig, hoewel het soms een beetje langdradig werd.

We maken de innerlijke groei mee van de jongen op weg naar volwassenheid de jongen wordt verliefd op een meisje, die automatisch ook verliefd word op hem de jongen, ongetraind in de magie, bezit de jonge Williand over meer talent en kracht dan de oude magiër die met hem mee reist.
Een magiër die ooit bekend stond onder de naam Merlijn, Ondanks deze clichés, tochsterren voor dit boek, want dit is voor mij toch wel een beetje het soort fantasy waar ik van hou,

Op naar de volgende twee delen,
Can't say much since this is part of trilogy, But my personal opinion is that while there are strong storyline too much cliché kind of ruined it, But still i love it, Kind of reminded me of Merlin TV series albeit with different version, But then again there are too much version of Arthur stories, I'm looking forward to read another two of this trilogy, Robert Carter is een taalwetenschapper en schrijver, Het boek De Leerling en De Magiër is het eerste deel uit de reeks De Taal Der Stenen,

In Vale wordt de rust verstoord door de komst van de groene man, Onder deze mantel schuilt de magiër ,Gwydion, die gekomen is om Will weg te halen bij zijn pleegouders, De bedoeling is om Will inzicht te geven in de taal der stenen, Een ruwe vorm van magie en de taal der schepping, Will twijfelt over zijn rol maar Gwydion is onverbiddelijk en samen vertrekken ze richting het avontuur,

De start van het boek maakte me wel nieuwsgierig naar wat er verder nog ging naar boven komen, Jammer genoeg kon het mijn nieuwsgierigheid niet lang vasthouden, Het was alsof ik richting miste in het verhaal, Er waren vele gebeurtenissen die volgens mij niets van toegevoegde waarde hadden voor het volledige verhaal, Ze kwamen soms wat over als opvulling, De manier van schrijven kwam chaotisch over en maakte het moeilijk om het verhaal perfect te kunnen volgen,

Het personage, Will, was al even verward over zijn rol in het verhaal als ikzelf was, Het kwam wat over alsof de auteur zijn eigen personage aan het lijntje hield, De magiër, Gwydion, sprong in en uit het verhaal zonder enige melding van het wat en hoe, Hij kwam en ging zonder dat het duidelijk werd wat hij gedaan had als extra voor het verhaal,

De chaotische manier van schrijven zorgde er ook voor dat ik geen enkele band kon opbouwen met één van de personages, Ik verloor elke keer de zwakke connectie die aanwezig was,

Het slot sluit dan wel een cirkel af, maar je merkt ook dat er wel nog een deur bestaat naar een vervolg,

Conclusie
Een verhaal waar meer inzat dan dat er nu uitgekomen is, Een verhaal waar een gebrek aan richting was, Een chaotische manier van schrijven waardoor het moeilijk wordt om het verhaal goed te kunnen volgen,

Engels

Robert Carter is a linguist and writer, The book De Leerling en De Magier is the first part of the De Taal Der Stenen series,

In Vale, the peace is disturbed by the arrival of the green man, Underneath this cloak hides the magician, Gwydion, who has come to take Will away from his foster parents, The intention is to give Will insight into the language of the stones, A raw form of magic and the language of creation, Will doubts his role but Gwydion is relentless and together they set off for the adventure,

The start of the book made me curious about what else was going to surface, Unfortunately, it could not hold my curiosity for long, It was like I was missing direction in the story, There were many events that, in my opinion, had nothing to add to the full story, They sometimes came across as a padding, The way of writing came across as chaotic and made it difficult to follow the story perfectly,

The character, Will, was just as confused about his role in the story as I was, It seemed as if the author was holding his own character on a leash, The magician, Gwydion, jumped in and out of the story without any mention of the what and how, He came and went without it becoming clear what he had done in addition to the story,

The chaotic way of writing also prevented me from building any relationship with one of the characters, I lost the weak connection that was there every time,

The end closes a circle, but you also notice that there is still a door to a sequel,

Conclusion
A story that contained more than it has now come out, A story where there was a lack of direction, A chaotic way of writing that makes it difficult to follow the story properly,First off: I've been really struggling with this book and for the time being I am giving up and putting it on hold, I seriously should just DNF it tho,
This book with the oh so intriguing title ahem The Language Of Stones has been sitting on my book shelf for quite a few years until I finally decided it was time to buckle down and just get this over with.
But to be quite honest, this book is just pure boredom, . . And in my eyes poorly/clumsily written

It's a runofthemill basic fantasy story about a boy who's living the sweet life in his onehorse town until suddenly a wise old

wizard Gwydion arrives and takes the boy Willand with him, because naturally Willand is "The Chosen One".
Yeah .
But in all honesty the fact that this is your basic recipe for every standard cliché fantasy story, is not even the main reason I dislike this book, I was prepared for that, But the bad writing style paired with a story telling that moves at a snail's pace the wizard and the boy are traveling through swamps and woods for what seems like an eternity, before ANYTHING remotely relevant to the plot happens and the "wisdoms" of Gwydion that he constantly regurgitates upon the reader which by the way can be found in any fortune cookie got me to a point where I could only beg for a swift and painless end.
But nuhuh, this baby gotpages and I only got to page,
Lectures like "the environment is totes great and should never be tainted" or "pride comes before a fall" just continue to get stuffed down your metaphorical throat,

From the start, so many names get dropped that just don't mean anything to me, quite naturally, since this is not the third or fourth installment of a series, neither does the lore of this world get properly set up.
All you get, is an old tattletale wizard that keeps blustering about ye old stories that happened in ye old times, about great heroes and whatnot,
That's not how world building works tho, That's as if you were to take characters, names, dates, geography, lore etc, throw it all into a sack, give it a good shake and dump that on your reader, That's at least what I felt like while reading this most of the time,

Like I said, it's just not that well written in my opinion and it reminds me a bit of my reread of Eragon,
I am not really that mad at the book although it may seem like it, but the story ist just not worth the effort and pain that I experienced while reading this.

And what do you think it says on the back of the book "The new Tolkien", Of course

I will admit however, that the book at some points seems really cliché: throughout the journey, we notice the inner growth of our protagonist when young Willy boy the main character falls in love, the girl automatically loves him back and although not trained in magic, our dearest Willand possesses more talent and skills than his friend, the old magician who once was called Merlyn.
If you take out those clichés or care not to bother, as I did, the novel is really a topclass act, It is thrilling, never boring and takes you from one world effortlessly into the other, .
