This book was read as part of a partnership between:
AND 
First Editions Bragelonne thank you for allowing me to discover this beautiful book. As usual it is a book that is beautiful in addition to being interesting. With
Lamentation, we have in our hands the first volume of a saga set to take place over five pounds. A saga so ambitious, and will have the merit of being original by offering us something else a trilogy.
The story is really found, the destruction of the city of all knowledge and quest for the truth about who is responsible and why they may have wanted to destroy it is very well done.
In this world there is no strange creatures, not magic, or almost none. The only magic that we see at work is behind the destruction of windws and "Magyk" for the scouts of the various camps become somewhat invisible.
This world is interesting and intriguing, because we very often refer to the "Desert Bubbly" was the ancient lands of different Peoples Lands Named destroyed following a magical cataclysm caused by the former "great" bad guy. And as we're talking about, it seems that land possessed very advanced technology, even "futuristic", and what are its technology as their descendants are seeking to recover by meticulous excavations near the Desert, and are then stored and distributed in a very cautious to prevent a catastrophe from happening again.
So the point early in the book, then the city is destroyed, with all the knowledge she was home. We will then follow different characters all involved directly or indirectly in this event. There
course Sethbert, the character you hate right now, we are told clearly from the outset, he is the villain, plus he spends his time to boast. Rudolfo
There is sort of the heroes of history, who immediately decided to rebuild on their land, where the Library had gathered all this knowledge. It was also
Jin Li Tam, which is a complex character, a woman who subtly maneuver to follow the plans of his father. A strong and beautiful woman, far from defenseless woman.
There are still several other characters very important, but I'm not going to detail here.
This story is very well built and thought, because of the destruction of this city than you might think have been caused by a madman, we see as and when reading, the situation is much more complex than it first appears. So some things we took for granted, take one shot another look in light of a different explanation.
This book reminds me strangely Dune for the history of the father of Li Jin Tam, and his past. I do not want to say too much not to reveal pieces of history, but those who read Dune may find some resemblance to the Bene Gesserit. But this is not a defect nearby, saw it rather well, because in this context, it is rather surprising.
This book may surprise some fans of the fantasy "combat" shall we say, because in this particular book, even if there are few, this is not what is most important, c ' is more character development and understanding of everything that revolves around the destruction of windws.
In the end, so it's a very good book which has been eager to know the result, even if it could almost stand on its own. I think it was no big frustration in the end, because it's really an end, not a break in the middle of something.
