Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Across the Face of the World (Fire of Heaven #1)

From the tiny snowbound village of Loulea, five men and women are about to embark on a journey that will change their lives - and the destiny of their world.

For two thousand years, Kannwar, the immortal Destroyer, has been planning revenge on the Most High. Cast out from Dona Mihst when he drank from the forbidden fountain of eternal life, his plans of vengeance are now nearing fruition - and he will allow nothing to stand in his way.

When the trader Mahnum escapes the Destroyer's prison, the Lords of Fear are sent in pursuit. Mahnum makes his way home to Loulea, but there he and his wife are captured. His sons, Leith and Hal, together with a small group of villagers, set off on a quest to free Mahnum and Indrett - and warn their world of the coming war.

Article Regarding Books Across the Face of the World (Fire of Heaven #1)

Really disappointed in this book. Granted- a line on the front cover comparing the series to Tolkien sets incredibly high standards, which may have not helped my expectations from being dashed. The book is really unnecessarily long, filled with unnecessary backstory, descriptions, and rife with spelling errors. Unfortunately I could not get into this as much as I had hoped, and there are far better fantasy series out there to spend your time on.

Kirkpatrick spent a lot of time developing this world from coast to coast and kingdom to kingdom, and he can describe everything he imagines in such beautifully vivid detail that, at times, it was breathtaking and I could imagine myself surrounded by his gorgeous and grim landscapes. Unfortunately, that's about where the excitement ends.The pacing of the story is sluggish and the characters are immature and unlikeable.

This was quite possibly the most boring book I've ever read. At least in the top 5, and fantasy books don't usually make that list.I read the prologue in Borders to see if I would like this book before I bought it. It was incredibly deceptive and made me think that the book was actually going somewhere, which it does not.The following is a summary of the book--don't worry, it doesn't give anything away because there's nothing there to spoil:"We need to leave our village for some reason that

I struggled with what to rate this book. When I began it, I couldnt put it down and was drawn in to the story. It started off so interesting, became exciting, and then sort of plateaued.The plot was very interesting, but what I disliked was the poor character development. I dont know if I am spoiled and am used to epic characters, but these ones were weak. Kirkpatrick created some amazing characters but then was so busy describing the landscape and journey that he forgot to develop them. He
