Description

Game of Thrones meets Gladiator in this debut epic fantasy about a world caught in an eternal war and the young man who will become his people's only hope for survival.

The Omehi people have been fighting an unwinnable fight for almost 200 years. Their society has been built around war and only war. The lucky ones are born gifted. One in every 2,000 women has the power to call down dragons. One in every 100 men is able to magically transform himself into a bigger, stronger, faster killing machine. Everyone else is fodder, destined to fight and die in the endless war.

Young, giftless Tau knows all this, but he has a plan of escape. He's going to get himself injured, get out early, and settle down to marriage, children, and land. Only, he doesn't get the chance.

Those closest to him are brutally murdered, and his grief swiftly turns to anger. Fixated on revenge, Tau dedicates himself to an unthinkable path. He'll become the greatest swordsman to ever live, a man willing to die 100,000 times for the chance to kill the three who betrayed him.

The Rage of Dragons launches a stunning and powerful debut epic-fantasy series.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A refreshingly brutal and imaginative tale of survival and revenge. Evan Winter's battles are visceral, bloody masterpieces, and Tau's climb from exiled Lesser to legendary warrior is earned in a way few writers could hope to match." (David Dalglish, author of the Shadowdance Series)

"Winter's debut will draw strong comparisons to George R.R. Martin and Brandon Sanderson, and the strong African influences and ties create a singular, exciting epic with intriguing characters and culture. Readers will be clamoring for the next installment." (Library Journal, starred review)

"Wow. This book hits the ground with stunning action and danger, and it barely lets up as the pages fly by. I loved the African-influence culture, the unique use of dragons and demons, the complex martial and class hierarchy, and it has a magic system unlike anything I've seen before. What a terrific set up for a series!" (David Anthony Durham, author of The Acacia Trilogy)

Rage of meh

The novel is good if you like a lot of fight scenes. like 2/3rds of this novel is fight scenes that I didn't really care about. There was next to no tension beyond 2 fights that are army brawls.

There are almost no surprises as every event is broadcast LONG before it happens.

It has virtually no feel like game of thrones as it claims. It feels a bit like gladiator but more like Sparticus Blood and sand.

This feels like a novel written by a white guy that wanted to appeal to the own voice and made every character have dark skin and an African name. but the setting culture and attitudes all feel European. Even the food mentioned feels very European unlike The Book of Pheonix.

I finished the book and won't continue the series. There is too much wasted time with unimportant fights. The actual story is very cliche and would have been better told from someone else's POV.

Worth sticking with

From the very beginning I knew I was in for a treat. There is not nearly enough fantasy that doesn't focus on Magic Europe but this book stays well away from the tropes you've grown bored with. the characters are lovely, the fight scenes are swift and brutal and the world being built already feels like it has a depth I can't wait to explore.

To the title of my review, some of the names and a few terms caused me to stumble a bit, which can happen with a Non-European inspired fantasy but I urge everyone to read, pay attention and know that you will not be disappointed.

A must read, no do the Audible!

This was as good as Joe Abercrombie’s or Bernard Cromwell best. The characters were interesting, the story captivating, the narration engaging and the dialogue was thoughtful.
Actually, the narration was amazing. Best fit I have ever heard

Gripping!

A very gripping world. Quite refreshing to have fantasy written from a different cultural context. This has quickly jumped up my list of favorite fantasy books and I can hardly wait for book 2. The narrator does an amazing job and brings life to the characters making the images jump off the page and come to life.

Fast paced and addictive

This book was amazing and the voice acting was perfect for the characters. I found myself getting addicted to finding out what would happen next . Although the story is straightforward and not totally something I haven’t read before , the author makes the world , characters and action scenes overshadow this downside and make it a very good book overall

Amazing Narration

A fresh take on the usual revenge narrative, had a Spartacus feel to it.
Prentice Onayemi is the perfect narrator for this story and provides an amazing performance.

Wonderfully descriptive

This isn't my usual read, but, I've now read this and the second book in the series twice (since late spring). Prentice Onayemi's narration is smooth and enthralling. I get lost in these books fr

Great action packed story with a great reader

Phenomenal performance by the reader and Winter creates a great atmosphere with his writing that uses a far too unexplored source of inspiration to build his world. If you like John Gwynne or Joe Abercrombie I’d say this is your cup of tea.

it's dope, legendary.😁👌🏿

i don't usually like books with dragons because i feel like that's such a traveled path it might as well have made trenches digging straight through the earth. but this book is different, fun and entertaining.
