Return To Hell (Heroes Of War Book 3)

A bullet or shell,or mine,or tank treads is waiting on the next wooded hill, or valley or village to end it for him. There is no Longest Day comrades in arms in a worthy cause emotion emanating from Reese and squad mates. There is no grander vision for them then earning a front line soldiers highest decoration - survival. The German bunker is the squatting beast of War waiting to feed and it does on the Mike Kellin character, the attacking company, Steve McQueen's now Ahab like Reese who must destroy the beast at the cost of his life, and the bunkers' anonymous defenders-inmates while the beast battered partially in flames still consumes GIs and Wehrmact landers indiscriminately.

This was a wonderfully paced book, where I felt the main character writing actually improved and my friend Jaelan went from a slightly annoying coward, to a slightly annoying coward who I really really enjoyed reading about.

I have to hand it to Mark Lawrence, he played this character well, when I first started reading, I was worried that Jarl was going to be a character I hated as much as Kip from Lightbringer, or Thomas Covenant or the entire cast of WoT, but no, as much as a coward as Jaelan is, he actually pulls of enough of the heroics albeit, somewhat by fluke to make him very believable and eventually like-able.

By the end of this book, I did not want the story to end. A thoroughly enjoyable read. If you liked Prince of Thorns, then it bet a few bucks you'll enjoy this. Set in the same time, Jorg and Jarl actually share a jar or two. If you found Jorg's romping around the country a little to dark and grim, then you might like Red Queen, it is no where near as dark.

It still has it's moments, but no where near the level of Jorg's lot. Go for it, a bloody good, fun read. Feb 07, samantha books-are-my-life20 rated it it was amazing. A very good book, great writing with the same humor that was found in the first two books of the trilogy.

Rebels In Hell (Heroes in Hell, #3) by Janet E. Morris

May 23, Mitriel rated it it was amazing Shelves: I was given the chance to torture Mark Lawrence with my lengthy observations on the first draft of his second longest book to date at the end of , which I thought was a fine and solid work with a satisfying conclusion to the series. In a way it was almost like eating the steak after the dessert. It was satisfying, exciting, gripping, moving, touching, with still the humour lurking around the grim edges and written, like the rest of it, in his beautiful and elegant trademark prose, that is almost a given by now.

Sep 27, Milda Page Runner rated it it was amazing Shelves: What an awesome conclusion to this fantastic trilogy. Loved it, absolutely loved it. Unputdownable beginning to the end. I highly recommend Prince of Fools to everyone: And in the end neither the lies nor the truth matter. Just what we feel. Right now it was pretty much all I wanted, but the desert is about the marathon not the sprint. I sighed and pointed up the hill without looking at it. Where else would it be? A fortress full of corpses, laced with the remnants of some horrendous magic or Builder weapon. We are all of us young beneath the stars.

You just took my bloody sword. What am I supposed to use? How often had I walked into the proverbial, and sometimes literal, fire with Snorri watching on, my justifiable instinct to run in the opposite direction crushed under the weight of his confidence in me? Today I will be reviewing The Wheel of Osheim by Mark Lawrence A copy of this book was provided to me in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are my own. I guess it is the fact that I want to make sure I can express how much the books meant to me and how much I want everyone to know that.

Can I do them justice with my little review? Probably not, but I will try. I need a new rating system for his books! I honestly do not know how he has done it but every book continues to get better. Whenever I think I am going to be slightly let down in a new book how can they get better I am again blown away. I had a emotional bond with it. It was a tough time in my life and it helped me get though. To be honest things got worse, I stopped reading and blogging for a while. I have been trying to get back into both reading and blogging recently.

I started several books and just could not get into them, I know they are good books and I will read them but everything seemed to lack something. I got the email that I was approved on Netgalley for The Wheel of Osheim and I was so excited, full on happy dance excited. This had to be what I needed to get back into things. Boy was I right. It felt so right in the world again. I had a Mark Lawrence book to read, and it was amazing!

His best book yet. This book truly brought me back and I am very thankful for that. The man just has a way with words! Master worldbuilding is still the key with this book. It is very easy to feel right at home in the world created here. A vast and rich world but never overwhelming, you never get lost in the vastness. It is deep and colorful, full of imagination, with a gritty undertone.

Now what makes this book and series so special to me are the characters. His characters are wonderfully complex and easily identifiable. To be specific the dynamic duo of Jal and Snorri. The relationship between these two is truly a thing of beauty. It has been many things though out the series but has always been what held everything together. I started out the series a Snorri fan and ended a Jalen fan.

To be honest I really love them both. In conclusion what can I say but this is an amazing piece of literary genius! This book has built upon the extraordinary solid foundation of the first two books and takes this series to a new level of greatness. I will put these books proudly on display, on the self next to Tolkien and Martin.

Well, I am not one for big long reviews full of synopsis and spoilers. So I guess what I wrote will have to due. It is enough for me, I hope it is for you too. Hmmm, sign me up! My blog review is here: This was a satisfying end to the Red Queen's War series. Mark Lawrence has an engaging writing style and the story had a great mix of humour and action. It helps that the characters in this series are a memorable and likeable batch and that the world is an inventive and interesting one.

Prince Jalan has things no easier in this final book of the series. Lucky for him he has a few friends li This was a satisfying end to the Red Queen's War series. Lucky for him he has a few friends like Snorri to help him! It was a fun tale for the most part, but I did think it suffered from the odd lull spell that slowed things down a bit.

I liked the banter between the characters a lot and loved the bits that had to do with the way magic works and the way the old Builder technology still functioned in this crazy post-apocalyptic world. The bits that bored me a bit were the battles with the endless dead. All in all I found this to be a good ending to a good series. Tim Gerard Reynolds gave an excellent performance.

Odlican zavrsetak serijala i iskreno najbolja knjiga koju je Lorens napisao do sada. Manje vise sve je objasnjeno, likovi su lepo odrasli a prica vas drzi od prve strane. Iskreno bilo sta drugo reci ce samo kvariti osecaj pa navalite.

E da obozavam mesavinu fantastike i nauke ovde, narocito pri kraju. E sada cekamo sledeci serijal u ovom svetu. Aug 26, Mayim de Vries rated it it was ok. The concluding instalment to Red Queen's War series is one of the worst, and least satisfactory endings to a series I have ever read. Flat, hurried after the bloated, dead pun intended weight of the side stories, frayed with lose ends, and truly disappointing not only in terms of The Wheel of Osheim, but also with regard to the two earlier books.

Mark Lawrence, a fine writer that he is, is less of an artist and more of a craftsman. He has mastered few tricks and applies them without mercy acro The concluding instalment to Red Queen's War series is one of the worst, and least satisfactory endings to a series I have ever read. He has mastered few tricks and applies them without mercy across his books. After all, not every book needs to be a masterpiece. Both motifs were employed with great artistry in The Broken Empire series that talked about a veritable psychopath on his way to rule the world. Instead they focus on a coward cheater and liar on his way to prevent the end of the world.

But where the Broken Empire had it all wrought with elegance and harmony the premise, the plot, the character and his development, females in more than ornamental capacity, the suspense, the convergence between the past and the present climaxing in the finale , Red Queen's War dissolve into a cacophony of discordant tones. The premise stays the same, but while it has been fresh and enticing in the Broken Empire, it has the the feeling of a recycled toilet paper in this series. It speaks volumes that the crossovers and Jorg appearances were the most interesting scenes in the first part of the book.

This is surprising when one considers how much of the book is just a medieval zombie apocalypse, while the fight against the Lady Blue is kept to the margins. In the end, there is no character development but character solidification that reminded me of the Shattered Sea trilogy. For me the ending of his story, and particularly this last scene of the book, was an insult to the sparkling potential we could glimpse in the Prince of Fools.

No interesting female leads. There is no equivalent to Aunt Katherine. In terms of plot design, I thought the series goes awry, somewhat sideways, already in the previous instalment. More importantly, when both pathways converged, they did so not even without a bang, but lacking as much a s whimper. In other words, while chronological order would spoil the Broken Empire tales, the Wheel of Osheim could have been told chronologically without ever harming the story.

I should probably say that my two-star rating still means that this book is much better than your average 3-star novel. If disappointment ever becomes impersonated, it will be named Jalan.

Names, people, places, memories, histories - all damned lies. I'm treading on the edge of spoiler territory here I can see the gaping chasm to my left but, as we come to discover late in the tale, the entire story of Jalan Kendeth actually hinges on a single lie that's too painful to even contemplate here.

I would actually go so far as to say that this is his best book, hands down, and that is no lie. While he's used a number of different framing devices in spinning his tales of Jorg and Jalan, Lawrence's approach here is perfectly suited to the shaping of lies. The book opens with Jalan's comic escape from the bowels of Hell, seemingly robbing us of a resolution to the cliffhanger that ended The Liar's Key. It's several chapters later before we get the first fragment of Jalan's journey through and escape from Hell.

As for Snorri's own journey, his is a tale that must wait until the closing chapters of the tale, a story to be shared as a distraction from the living lies that surround the Wheel of Osheim itself. There's a lot of overlap here with The Broken Empire, with some of Jorg's darkest acts there having a major bearing here - not just on Jalan's journey, but on the world around him.

Even more so than in the first two books, we really get to see Jorg's influence on the world from a different perspective, one that's shaped by the lies of those who would interpret his methods and motives for themselves. What we know to be entirely human acts of Builder brutality are reimagined here as divine acts of the gods, who are themselves an entirely different sort of lie. A big part of what sets this book and this series apart for me is the character arc of Jalan.

Here is a character who has grown, evolved, matured, and emerged from his own lies as the story has progressed. We still get the drunken, cowardly fool of the first two books, a young man who repeatedly resorts to liquor-fueled lies to hide from the cruelties of the world. He's just as amusing as he was before, but much less exasperating. At the same time, we also get the hero of Aral Pass, a soldier and a leader who overcomes the lies Jalan used to shield himself from responsibility.

He's still largely a reluctant hero, but also a motivated one. Once again, Builder technology plays a significant role in the story, but it's the lies told about it and the mythologies created to explain its magics that really drive things. Lawrence throws a lot of gadgets and set pieces at the reader, veering closer to the edges of science fiction than ever before, but it's the slow unveiling of the truth that makes this so exciting.

It is story that's as clever as it is exciting, with the climax surrounding the Wheel of Osheim entirely worth the three books that it's taken to realize. There are so many little details in the last hundred or so pages, it's worth rereading to see how carefully Lawrence constructed the lies of Loki and his key. While I won't say much about them at risk of spoiling things , the Red Queen, the Silent Sister, and Lady Blue finally get their moments to shine here.

They've been built up so much over the course of the books that I really wondered what Lawrence could possibly do with them, but it all pays off. As for Snorri, he doesn't get a lot of page time here, but the role he plays in Jalan's quest, and the way his own is finally resolved, will satisfy even the most jaded of readers.

Lawrence isn't an author who indulges in needless sentimentality, but there is significant emotional impact to Snorri's last, lonely steps through Hell that will resonate with even the most jaded of readers. The Wheel of Osheim is an epic book in every sense of the word. In terms of scope, imagination, and significance it actually feels bigger than the trilogy that came before it. It's a book that captures the spectacle that Lawrence does so well, but also the human aspect. Even as we face off against some of the biggest, darkest monsters we've seen yet, those lies are slowly unraveled, allowing us to see the true face of danger.

I repeatedly say that I really like how Mark Lawrence sets his characters and tells the story. This book is no exception. I enjoyed it very much. Jalan is complete opposite of Jorge Prince of Thorns series and since both series location is Broken Empire we see their path collided sometimes.

Prince of Thorns was all about Jorge but this series is about Jalan and at the same time Builders secrets too.

Jalan is not the only hero of this tale, we have Snorri, Kara and even Hennan and Red Queen herse I repeatedly say that I really like how Mark Lawrence sets his characters and tells the story. To me Jalan's story was a side story to Jorge's to reveal more and more about Broken Empire. I liked it very much; however my favorite book of Mark Lawrence remains King of Thorns.

Extremely satisfying ending to a great series. I will read every single thing Mark Lawrence writes. I rediscovered my love for Jalan in this final instalment, his humour and internal monologue raised above the constant complaining and back to that wry person I found so appealing in the first book. The plot and action was tighter, with some cracking fight scenes that brought real surprises, my favourite involving a certain religious stone artefact belonging to Jalan's father. There are proper laugh out loud moments here, but overall the book is much darker; not just because it deals with the en I rediscovered my love for Jalan in this final instalment, his humour and internal monologue raised above the constant complaining and back to that wry person I found so appealing in the first book.

There are proper laugh out loud moments here, but overall the book is much darker; not just because it deals with the end of things, but because the ways Lawrence deals with the themes of duty, family, and personal morality hit right to the heart of human nature, the good and bad of it. Right to the end our heroes are challenged, lies and half truths still hold power.

It was cleverly done and I enjoyed how it was brought together. Mar 28, Jordi Gil rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is my second trilogy from Mr. Lawrence and I am more and more convinced he keeps improving on each iteration, because this trilogy went for me from an interesting story and pasable main character to a thrilling and charming status.

I admit it that Jorg Ancrath was without a doubt first in the list, but Jalan has managed to climb perhaps a step higher than the aforementioned fellow. I can love both of them, can't I. After all it's all in my head, isn't it? I won't be going into details about the story, suffice to say that I was concerned how Mr. Lawrence was going to tie in the ending with the previous trilogy, and he did it nicely.

I really liked how Jalan transition from a coward and a selfish person to somebody who even questioned his motivations for sacrificing himself for others. He's grown as a person, more so than the other non POV of the story. Something like that goes for the narrator. I decided to acquire the European copy in audible for this book, where it is read by Sean Ohlendorf. Perhaps my lack of experience with him as a narrator, coupled with my initial reticence with the main character resulted in a mixed experience during the initial stages of our relationship.

Journey's end now I have no complains about him as a narrator, nor as for the book: Very much looking forward to the next trilogy from Mr. I am a firm believer in his work. As a reader there are times when the ending of a book also ends your relationship with an awesome character and you feel saddened.

This is how I feel losing Prince Jalan. If you go back and read my reviews or why not anyone else review of "The Broken Empire" series you'll see how many loved Mark Lawrence series. The two main characters Prince Jalan and Snorri are incredible and the way they complete each other just works. Its non-stop action and fun. The pacing on this book is near perfect, you never get to feel lagging or to be taken away by the action. It carries you across Jalan's adventures in the Sahara with flashbacks to Hell.

To the Battle for Vermillion and Jalan's bravery. To his ultimate surprise and happiness at seeing Snorri. His story of his passage thru Hell. Its not easy being a coward in this world. Not when you carry Loki's key. Jalan tries and I mean he really tries to give away the key and return to his life of drinking, gambling and women.

Against all predictions he survives and keeps getting push down but never giving up. For his part Snorri is a column of perfection. This Norse does not know the meaning of failure and it just fits him. When the time comes to deal with the Wheel it will surprise you. I loved this book The Wheel of Osheim is the last book telling the tale of Prince Jalan and Snorri as they attempt to wade through Hel, come out the other side and turn the Wheel of Osheim to banish all magic from the world.

I really enjoyed this and actually flew through it. There was so much great character development in this book. I really felt like Jalan grew into the man he was always foretold to be in this book, and even without the presence of Snorri for the majority of the tale, he was able to stand up, t The Wheel of Osheim is the last book telling the tale of Prince Jalan and Snorri as they attempt to wade through Hel, come out the other side and turn the Wheel of Osheim to banish all magic from the world.

I really felt like Jalan grew into the man he was always foretold to be in this book, and even without the presence of Snorri for the majority of the tale, he was able to stand up, take control and I'm pretty sure this was the only book he didn't pee his pants when faced with danger.

The battle in Vermillion was excellent and I really felt like my heart was racing through the whole thing which was a rather long time. I also though their trip in Hel was brilliant, with Snorri's being oddly emotional. And oh my goodness, when Tutt appeared I felt like crying. I loved him so much. I really enjoyed this trilogy and was happy to have been able to follow Snorri and Jalan's adventures together. I just hope Jalan maintains some of the sense he learned on his journeys. I've been waiting for them to have a conversation for the whole trilogy and it was amazing. The way they talked about being a prince and a king, their similarities in their childhood.

I was just dancing through all of that and loved how Jal thought afterwards that he should have rolled a sleeping Jorg off the the roof. I just imagined him walking back to the palace soaked in blood and it's terrible but I cheered. It's like he evolved in that moment to the warrior he needed to be and really showed he was the Red Queen's grandson. May 18, senboo rated it it was amazing. Boy, it's been quite the journey.

Jorg first an then Jalan were the best companions during my frequent travels from home to Florence and vice versa, when immersing yourself in a battle against things made of other dead things is way more pleasant than the shrieking of uneducated children, roaming around without a supervision. It's been a peculiar journey too.

I hadn't imagined that the wild boy I met while he destroyed, raped and pillaged could become so dear to my heart, another child made of ink that I feel like I have adopted, like a crazy catlady that already has a house full of little furry friends.

I've been charmed by the perfect balance between humor and angst and there was a lot of both, often at the same time , by ideas so crazy that written just a little bit differently would have been catastrophically bad starting from having Jorg as main character, I mean, I love my boy but it could have been disastrous and by a kind of sensibility I haven't found so often in fantasy literature.

Jalan and Jorg, and every other character, even the most secondary one I mean, we all bow in front of the Red Queen and Miana, but I'd like to dedicate this parenthesis to Count Isen, little cask of madness will stay with me forever in the special hall in my heart I save for good fantasy novels.
