Hazel (2934 KP) rated The Four Symbols (The Black Sun Trilogy) in Books

Jun 7, 2020

I must admit that I really, really struggled with this book because although the story was good and the way the author weaved historical fact with fiction was well done and it was clearly well researched, it was just too slow for me and there was too much jumping from scene to scene making it hard for me to keep track as it didn't flow particularly well and I didn't get the excitement or tension that I was hoping for.

I accept that this is my view and this book will certainly appeal to a lot of people ... you just have to see how many 4 and 5 star reviews this has got to prove that but it just wasn't for me.

Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

Kudos

A brilliant modern day zombie film. I've not seen the original yet, but this has the same appeal as 28 days later. A great cast, modern take on the genre with good gorey effects. Well worth checking out.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. If I didn't already love Rhys enough from last book, he became such a unique, memorable character in this one. Feyre as well--the whole story was just as gorgeous and riveting as the first.

The songs are superb rearrangements of ones you know well presented in a different way. (1 more)

Kidman and Mcgregor are charming as crossed lovers not meant to be together.

The ending gets a little long. (0 more)

Baz does it best!

A well written and heartbreaking read that will forever stay with you. I found myself emotionally invested not only with the story but also with the characters. I highly recommend this book and make sure you grab tissues.

I was completely blown away with the world building, the characters and the way the author weaved this fantastic tale. Full of adventure, fantasy and just completely well rounded. Highly recommend it.

Plain stupid

Well that is a couple of hours I'll never get back. I honestly have no idea what to say about this other than stupid but then again I suppose that's the point ?.
