À propos de cet audio
Strikingly original in its conception, ambitious in scope, with characters engrossingly and vividly drawn, the first book in R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series creates a remarkable world from whole cloth - its language and classes of people, its cities, religions, mysteries, taboos, and rituals - the kind of all-embracing universe Tolkien and Herbert created unforgettably in the epic fantasies The Lord of the Rings and Dune.
It's a world scarred by an apocalyptic past, evoking a time both 2,000 years past and 2,000 years into the future, as untold thousands gather for a crusade. Among them, two men and two women are ensnared by a mysterious traveler, Anasûrimbor Kellhus - part warrior, part philosopher, part sorcerous, charismatic presence - from lands long thought dead. The Darkness That Comes Before is a history of this great holy war, and like all histories, the survivors write its conclusion.

Due to unusual circumstances, Randidly starts in an isolated dungeon far beyond his level, forced to rely on the mysterious Traveler Shal in order to learn and survive with the dangerous new status quo for his world. But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

This book felt more like characters passively watching things happen, rather than seeing characters actually do things. I want to be clear that characters do actually do things, but I still am coming away with the strange feeling of having seen any of our characters affecting the story truly.
Great performance, narrative falls short.

Bakker's prose is an absolute pleasure to read and/or hear. Immersive reading for those who also have a hard copy is very beneficial with this series and its follow-up.
Keep in mind that this is not intended to be read as a stand-alone novel; you need to go into this knowing that the story merely begins here.
The Second Apocalypse is easily one of the finest fantasy works ever put to the page. If you can handle the themes herein, you will find no better.
An absolute masterpiece

I don’t read much fantasy because I find a lot of the tropes derivative and annoying but this felt more like non-western fantasy and my only gripe in the end was some of the treatment and writing around women are pretty tropey sometimes.
However, the prose and originality of the story itself in the end left me feeling like it deserved full marks.
Fantastic and novel

If you know much about the history of the crusades, this book draws heavily from that history, with many story beats being ripped directly from history. The peasants crusade in particular is almost beat for beat the vulgar crusade, including the motivations of the nobles involved, the only thing missing is a figure like John the Hermit.
Historical inspiration aside, its still a very good book with lots of political drama and intrigue which doesn't get too dense or convoluted.
Well told and voiced, interesting and vibrant
