 What you call beauty and grace and suppleness in writing are nothing but the consensus of men who have grown used to hearing each other Hello, everybody. E here. Welcome back to another book review today We are talking about the follow-up of the grace the follow-up to the grace of kings by Ken Leo And that is the wall of storms. This is book two in the dandelion dynasty series the next book Supposed not supposed to be out until next year Again, that one's called the veiled throne at least according to Goodreads. It is Once again, I read this book with tilani at tea time tea reads I will leave a link to her channel down there in the doobly-doo This one somehow Was even better than the last one everything. I loved about the first one the grace of kings was amplified To the umpteenth level here. You had brand new creatures had brand new characters You had some very significant significant happenings And if I'm honest once again, I'm gonna say it Kind of it puts a song of ice and fire to shame as far as I'm concerned I think that there is the perfect amount of characters in this one and the last one Whereas game of thrones is kind of I get I felt myself getting overwhelmed And in this one I didn't feel that whatsoever With the first one. I also the only thing I would say is if you're going to read the series Do not do the audiobook especially not the first one I forgot to mention this in that review, but with the first book you have two characters named Finn one is F-I-N and the other one is P-H-I-N and you really have to pay attention To who is who and and what's going on. I know that sounds Of course you have to I got a bird over here. Um, of course you have to be able to Of course you got to pay attention and listen closely But there were some times even listening closely where I got confused on who was who the best part about this book for me was the fact That Luan Zia was one of the it's basically I felt this way. It basically is his book It tells his story well him and Zomie Kudosu Zomi is his protege and Luan Zia if you've read the first book, you know that he was a great tactician Stratist strategist I'm not sure words of words. Anyways, um, he was one of the he's the one who talked Cooney and doing some of the more outlandish things that happened in the first book Cooney Garu is the emperor in this one. He rose to power in the first one I guess that's kind of a spoiler, but sorry the Like I said the best part of this book for me was learning Luan Zia's story Some of his backstory and getting to know Zomie Kudosu The book opens up terrifically It's I guess this one's a little more along the lines. This is how I felt anyways This one's a little more along the lines of the traditional fantasy and how it starts the some of the trouble they get into and There are things in here Minor spoilers, so if you're worried about if you don't want to know anything about this book Usually I don't go this in depth with my reviews, but if you don't want to know anything else about this book Just know that I highly recommend it. It's better than the first one So easy five stars, but I'm gonna get into some minor spoilers here. So in three two one Minor spoilers. So there are dragons in this one, but they're not really dragons. They're like these big bulbous things I think they said it's almost like a whale with a giraffe's neck and Like deer antlers what not amazing amazing things. They're called Garrett Nathans I believe that's how you pronounce it because I didn't listen to the audiobook this time So I'm not a hundred percent sure on how to pronounce it But the Garrett Nathans are these Dragon-like creatures that the la yuku who are a completely new race of people to the story who they end up writing them and they're they're a Very race of or I don't know. I don't know what you call I guess is a race of people that are dragon riders And they're also barbarians kind of deal. So they're nomadic people Very very fascinating culture that one is and the the main guy Peku Tenro, I believe that is his name I hope I pronounced that right and the only reason I'm laughing is because of my own pronunciation not because the name's funny Peku Tenro is their leader and he has I believe there's a prince and a princess and I'm pretty sure that's what because they don't really call them Prince and Princess in there as much There's another term for him. Even Peku is the term for king Okay, then Peku is the term for king in this culture but the the Learning about the nomadic tribe the leoku and and their enemies and Also learning about the wall of storms and how that is traversed All that stuff is absolutely amazing. It's a huge epic fantasy Plot you go to new places new new lands You have travel across the sea you have gods warring you have all this amazing stuff going on That just I mean it's just hit all the right notes for me I think one of the things Even though Luanzia goes in on a quest in this one. You don't have the The trappings you don't have the trappings of your typical fantasy novel It's just one of those things where I I Couldn't find any fault with it and usually that is not the case when it comes to epic fantasy So those are those are the pluses. There really isn't any Minuses here for me If you've read the wall of storms or the first one the grace of kings If you've read either one of these books and you'd like to discuss them with me or let's have a chat down there And the doobly-doo about them. Let me know if you love them if you hated them And like always if you love them or hate them, let me know why you love them or hated them And we can have a discussion about it, but until next time I have any you've been you this has been another book review I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
