Histoire
In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible. Assigned to investigate is Ana Dolabra, a detective whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. Rumor has it that she wears a blindfold at all times, and that she can solve impossible cases without even stepping outside the walls of her home.

And while Alex's own powers aren't as showy as some mages, he does have the advantage of foreseeing the possible future-allowing him to pull off operations that have a million-to-one-chance of success. But when Alex is approached by multiple factions to crack open a relic from a long-ago mage war, he knows that whatever's inside must be beyond powerful.

Ruka, called a demon at birth, is a genius. Born malformed and ugly into the snow-covered wasteland of the Ascom, he was spared from death by his mother's love. Now he is an outcast, consumed with hate for those who've wronged him. But to take his vengeance, he must first survive. Across a vast sea in the white-sand island paradise of Sri Kon, Kale is fourth and youngest son of the Sorcerer King. As the first prince ever forced to serve with low-born marines, Kale must prove himself and become a man, or else lose all chance of a worthy future, and any hope to win the love of his life.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Infused with magic, shadows and starlight, the powerful godblades were believed to be lost nearly half a millennia ago, when the Godswar ended. Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Great product, just not for me

Description
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.

Great performance, narrative falls short.
The narrator is fantastic, with many distinct voices, and a good tone for a story like this. R. Scott Bakker shows the beginnings of promise here with sometimes fantastic prose and interesting characters. However, I am left scratching my head at the pace of this story, or maybe where the story starts and ends. I am not a very big fan of action or battles in my fantasy, and I really do love a good slow burn focusing on characters and philosophy. This book is heavy on the politics, but not as heavy as I would have liked on the philosophical side of things, and I am left feeling like I took very little from the book.
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.

Fantastic and novel
The performance was great and I think the format made the book more easily consumable. The fiction is pretty dense, especially when jumping around to different factions and describing the world but felt manageable because of the pacing from the reader.
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.

Well told and voiced, interesting and vibrant
This was a very nice change from the middling and same-ish fantasy novels i have been finding of late. the writing style is interesting, a bit dense with the fantasy place names but they are memorable enough to not be confusing.
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.

A rather good story but with half-hearted storytelling and rather poor characters (especially the characterization of women). The narrator is decent but nothing more.
