The Dominion, once divided by savage clan wars, has kept an uneasy peace within its border since that long-ago time when the clan Leonne was gifted with the magic of the Sun Sword and was raised up to reign over the five noble clans. But now treachery strikes at the very heart of the Dominion as two never meant to rule--one a highly skilled General, the other a master of the magical arts--seek to seize the crown by slaughtering all of clan Leonne blood.Rating About Books The Broken Crown (The Sun Sword #1)

I've first heard of Michelle West from starlady's persuasive rec post of her works and I'm glad to have followed her rec.(Aside: I read Cast in Shadow, the first novel of the Chronicles of Elantra series which the author wrote under the name of Michelle Sagara, and I was surprised by the difference in wordbuilding and style of writing between Cast in Shadow and The Broken Crown -- though you can recognize common threads in both.)The Sun Sword series itself follows the Dominion of Annagar and theThe Broken Crown Star Rating: 5 Stars, Buy it Self Purchase for Kindle, Re-read review If you haven't read this series, you really have no idea of what you are missing. The writing style is so unique and superb and adds so much to the series. I must admit though sometimes the writing can be hard to follow. Also, there is so much politics in this series, that sometimes I just cant follow it all. That being said though, its still an incredibly original and unique series. This is a reread for me,
A good plot spoiled by verbose writing and repetitive phrases. These were two distracting components of the book:1. Surprising interjections in a conversation between two characters, when they (and the reader) thought they were speaking alone and privately. Lo! a different character interrupts with a line of dialogue, then "steps in from the shadows." Michelle used this device far too often. It was hard to imagine this actually taking place as often as it did, and equally difficult to take into
I first tried to read this book some years ago, but I didnt manage to finish it without skimming a great part of the second half. As I am otherwise a great fan of Michelle Sagara/Michelle Wests writing, I tried to come back to this universe but by a different entry: the first three books of the House War series as recommended by other fans. Then I read the Sacred Hunt duology and the short stories set in the same universe. As a result, when the POV shift from the Dominion to the Empire around
I think this story COULD have been good, and I really, really tried, but I was about 200 pages in and it still wasnt going anywhere, and I started dreading picking it up.Life is too short
(I'm currently re-reading this EPIC book series.)I read in order to experience someone else's fantasy world, primarily to delve into the complexities that underlay various cultural clashes and the characters who represent these cultures. Here a few things I love about this series starting in The Broken Crown:-The complexity and world-building are truly outstanding. Michelle West poured an amazing amount of resources into developing an unique set of cultures and personalities. The Broken Crown is
Some day I will reread all the books in the Sun Sword series and give them a real reviews. For now, let me just say that this is one of my favorite fantasy series ever. I love West's prose which is lyrical and descriptive. But for me the best part of these books by far are the outstanding characters. These books are told from multiple view points -- and they all come across as genuine. In some ways I am reminded some of GRR Martin, however West is both better able to keep the characters under
