Narration In Favor Of Books City of Bones

Where once great galleons roamed the sea,
sand ships now traverse the Great Waste,
and a glittering chain of city-states
dots the desert that has no end...

And the greatest city of them all is Charisat: Imperial seat and wonder of wonders, a great monolithic structure towering over the desert. Charisat, a phantasmagorical place where silken courtesans and beggars weave lies side by side, where any man’s dreams can be fulfilled at the whisper of a genie, and where the tier that you live on determines how high up the food (or more importantly, water) chain you are. It is the goal of every schemer, treasure hunter, and madman intent on finding his heart’s content — a place that dazzles the senses, makes the most somber mind dizzy with its scents and sights — and where no one knows friend from foe when it comes to the desperate fight for dwindling resources.

And where a beautiful woman and a handsome thief will try to unravel the mysteries of an age-old technology to stop a fanatical cult before they unleash an evil that will topple Charisat.

And destroy all the water in the world.

Judgment Of Books City of Bones

Watch out for Martha WellsI get the feeling she is playing with a different Dungeons and Dragons set than the rest of the world. Rarely has someone in fantasy so consistently impressed me with inventiveness. In City of Bones, she does it again.City of Bones is set in the city of Charisat, one of the few major cities remaining after an apocalypse has nearly destroyed humanity. Cities are surrounded by a hostile, desert Waste, and survivors rely on the roads of the Ancients to travel from one city

At 3% I was questioning if I had chosen the wrong book to read. You know, good books can be bad if you're not in the right frame of mind, bad books can seem good if your in a different headspace.... I felt by 4% that maybe it was the wrong book, or I was in the wrong place and I was considering stopping and looking for something else. Next thing I knew I was at 15% and I realized that I was completely sucked into this story. By 30% I realized I was enjoying this book so much that I was going to

A damaged, possibly fatally wounded, world, and while scavengers and pirates lurk the desertlike Waste, there are oases of culture and civilization. Learning and craft are highly valued and technology or its magical equivalent is slowly crawling back to the heights of the Ancients. It is one of the few (the only?) fantasy books I've read where the main characters/scoundrels are linguist/historian/archaeologists as well as all-round asskickers.The entire _system_ of this book is masterfully and

Excellent fantasy. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, water is scarce and humans barely cling to civilization. Thief, historian and outcast Khat is hired to find a relic for a rich Patricianthus setting off an ever-escalating adventure. I loved the characters, who clearly had lives of their own outside of the plot, and the dialog was realistic and often funny. Add to that Wellss gift for world-building and an exciting plot (ghosts! Ancient technology! Internecine feuding! Academic infighting!),

A slow burn. Good, but a slow start. There are a lot of similarities with another book that I recently read: the high-cast scholar seeking ancient wisdom is the female lead, a harsh and dangerous terrain, a brave and adventurous low-cast male lead, and loads of plotting and intrigue. Of course, Wells came first.
