Reviewed by kenThe Kariens' god is dead and R'shiel has killed him. That's not a spoiler, since that's what R'shiel's destiny is, and she has fulfilled it. This was yet another riveting read and I could hardly bear to part with it. I read two hundred pages in a day! Which isn't that much of a feat, but I also found myself beginning to skim because I was too impatient and needed to know what was happening next. The <i>Hythrun Chronicles</i> is not a game changer. It relied heavily upon preexisting fantasy tropes. It did nothing special to break away from the common ideas that make up fantasy, and it did a good job sticking to the rules. The magic, the interference of deities, and even the existence of the Harshini (who are vaguely elvish in how they are presented) aren't new to the genre, but it wasn't a problem because the execution was still beautiful, and it fit like a perfect piece in the story as a whole. I am infinitely glad that I stumbled upon this series. Although, I'm curious as to why the cover for <i>Harshini</i> is the one with Dranymire and R'shiel <spoiler>flying into Dregian Castle</spoiler> when it wasn't a particularly important scene. Maybe they just wanted to have dragons on the cover? Who knows.
