 Okay, you all have heard me talking about this book over the last two months while I've been reading it and you've been hearing me Say good things about it. Well Guess what? Okay, the short description of this book is it's about an ancient Greek Soldier who was injured in a battle. He has a head injury and he has amnesia He loses his memory after he sleeps at night. So every day He's he's a new person. He doesn't know what's going on and the book starts with the The discovery of a pair of scrolls where he had been writing down everything that happened to him every day so it's a first-hand account diary kind of thing and Gene Wolf is an amazing writer and it's really exciting interesting book this is actually a An omnibus of two novels Soldier of the Mist and Soldier of Aritae the first book It just kind of ends. I mean the author sticks to the premise of a handwritten diary Where it's not it's not ordered in any particular way. Each chapter is only Three or four pages long, which makes it easy to read and it makes it easier to read more And then at the end of the first book, there's the final entry on that scroll and the book ends. So Yeah, pretty good. I liked it. The second book starts off not long after the second one Excuse me the first one where he starts writing on a second scroll The book is more than 600 pages. I was enjoying it and then right at about Page 500 where part three starts I started thinking Wow, this got really slow all of a sudden and after this There's an awful lot of pages of people standing around talking and it's just way too much detail Boring detail that doesn't contribute to the story speaking of story It was about that same time That I realized it was getting slow that I also started to realize wait a minute This book isn't gonna go anywhere is it and it didn't it just ended The the thing about Latros as he's called he has the amnesia And he has to read his own scroll every day to be reminded of What he's doing where he's been and all the the people in his party around him, but he also sees gods He sees magical creatures. He sees Supernatural things going on around him and the people who are with him they know this and They know he's special because of that and the gods that he sees the gods that he meets with they seem to think that there's something special about him, too But that never comes to a head that's never resolved I found the last chapter Confusing I couldn't tell what was happening And apparently there was a third book These two books were published in the 1980s apparently Gene Wolf wrote a third book in the series. It was published only 10 years ago and As much as I enjoyed the book at first. I don't care to pick up the third book Because it's just this went nowhere That's really too bad Please remember to press that like button it helps my videos get seen and then subscribe so you can come back next time I do science fiction book TV and movie reviews all the time and please consider becoming a patron There's a link in the description below
