Consumptous Fantasy

This book is marvelous, simply marvelous. It is relatively simple in text, but the world, characters, and style are all engrossing to an extent that your sucked in, or consumed if you will, and don't want to let go. Possibly my faviorate thing about his style is his word choice, so simple, and yet seemingly flawless. In addition, each character, including the antagonists, are given understandable and humane qualities/faults. I don't remember the last book I read so quickly. I'm already almost through the second book and await finding the third.These books are not rare, nor common, and seem to be in few numbers. I have seen them from barnes and nobles to kmart, but never more than one at a time, so if your intrested, you might want to buy it now than risk not finding it.

Comsumptuos Fantasy

Books like this dont only intrest you, the engulf you with their style, world, and character developement; consuming you and not letting go until the tragic last page of a marvelous book. When ending this book, I remember wishing there had been at least one more chapter, or that part 2(beloved of the dead) had already been released. I have now almost finished beloved of the dead and am loving it as well.Richard Dansky is a marvelous writer, with seemingly flawless diction, wich is yet still simple and flows with ease. In addition to that, gives a wonderful amount of discription, with another for concept, but still allowing our imagination to fly. Most importantly, amazing character developement; not only of the protagonist, but the antogonist as well(which seem mixed in reality's shades of grey). Each with reasonable, understandable, and humane emotions, qualities, and faults. A great read indeed for the casual reader looking for something enjoyable...

whoa

this was one of the best books i have ever read. i picked this up at the bookstore hoping that i would be able to finish it, and to my surprise, i liked it so much i got the second and im now waiting for the third. the plot was great and the characters are awesome. i so recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy novels.

Amazing Novel

I picked up Chosen of the Sun to get a little better feel for the world of Exalted. What I found was one of the best works of fiction I've read in several years. Almost every page was full of wit and on-liners. I was amazed at how well the story flowed, especially for a game novel. It gave you a genuine intrest in the characters and what was going to happen next. I found every character captivating, such as Ratcatcher. Who despite his obvious flaws I couldn't help but like. I recomend this book to anyone who is looking for a bit of light reading. I promise you won't want to put it down.

A noble effort...

A noble effort. Since the utter collapse of the Dragonlance line of novels, I've avoided RPG Novels with an overwhelming passion. However, I found the Exalted setting interesting enough, and perhaps more importantly, interpretable enough to want another perspective. I was not disappointed. Chosen suffers from very few of the traditional 'Game Novel' stigmas, no simplified dumdeddownededness here, just solid, unflowery prose. With that in mind, I give Chosen four stars in the category of 'Game Novels', with the Chronicles of Dragonlance, and just about everything Greenwood has written, topping out at five. Don't let the Clan Novels scare you away from this one.
