Grasp The Company Of Glass (Everien, #1) Formulated By Valery Leith Classified In Brochure

COMPANY OF GLASS is the first volume in a three book series that tells the story of Tarquin the Free, a man with no clan, no king, and a past that he would rather deny.
But when he learns that his homeland Everien is about to be overrun by his old enemies the Sekk, who command an army almost too large to comprehend, he has no choice but to intervene.
He must alert the new King to the danger that awaits even if it means returning to

the enchanted city of JaiKhalar, seat of the weird ancient Knowledge that he renounced nine years ago.
The Knowledge that meant he had to abandon his eight companions to die in the Floating Land of JaiPendu, that forced him to become an outcast from the land and the people he loved.
The Knowledge of JaiKhalar haunts not only Tarquin, but all the Sekk an eerie race that appear to be extraordinarily beautiful human beings, but which possess people as demons do.
And those the Sekk cannot enslave they murder, But Tarquin is not the only man with ambitions to defeat the Sekk the daughter of his late best friend also wishes to rid her people of this omnipresent threat.
One of them must succeed but who will be prepared to take the greater risks, more willing to make the ultimate sacrifice on the altar of the magic of Knowledge.
Book one of the Everien series, Just one of those books I couldn't get into, and unfortunately have already forgotten most of the story, I tried so hard guys, so so so hard, I'm aboutof the way through though and thought to myself, "Life's just too short for this, "

Also a 'barbarian' army leader called Tash Ugh, Why put myself through that when I could jsut read The Horse and His Boy again, Read as part of my ongoing shelf audit, Verdict: From the library book sale you came, and to the library book sale you shall return,

There were some interesting ideas here, but, . . this book is way too muddled to make good use of them, or even to tell a story particularly effectively.
Too many POV characters, too many plot threads which seem completely disparate, too many moments that feel random and too few clear explanations.
To be fair, Leith was trying to depict people grappling with something which was, to them, unknowable but honestly, after a while I just stopped trying to comprehend her bizarre, undescriptive descriptions or figure out when Night had been introduced or follow the battle scenes.


From the descriptions of the later books, it sounds like things get even more bizarre and disconnected, so I can see why this is the only fantasy series Tricia Sullivan ever published under this pseudonym I would not want to read another.
Quintar was a great warrior with his notorious fighters go up against a foe like no other, What comes after of epic battles and war to save his world and more, Great one read. Book was difficult to follow, Not sure if I care enough about the characters to finish the trilogy, but book does end on an interesting note.
Well, Ms. Leith had an advantage here, After reading Gravitys Rainbow, I was inclined to like anything that was light and didn't take me four months to plow through.
Bonus I love her imagery its just gorgeous, The story is welltold, wellpaced, and full of beautiful images, I love the chapter titles, Theyre so much fun. Plus, while I've been meaning to read China Mieville for a while, Leith really kicked that desire into gear, as shall be shown in the near future.


All in all, a great reading experience and Im looking forward to the next installments,
