The Judging Eye Audiobook

" The change in scope and focus from the first trilogy manages to not be jarring. Bakker's writing is still plenty interesting. As he showed with his host of characters from the first series, he doesn't need to be details the adventures of a superman to show just how clever he is. "

" This is how to do bleak. This is the kind of book that makes me go outside and sit in the sun for a few minutes just to keep the unrelenting darkness from crushing me. "

" After reading the first series in roughly a week, I was hoping for more greatness. Cannot say that, its definitely good, but has a very "setup" feel. Loving the older crazier Akka. "

" ok i was a little disappointed, not crushed but esme annoyed the fuck out of me "

" A bit of a stumble after the amazing first trilogy, but I still love the world and haven't read book 2 yet. "

" Better than the previous two books in the saga, nowhere near as good as 'The Darkness That Came Before' "

" This is probably the best of the books by R. Scott Bakker. He really shows a focus in the narrative and a greater depth in his characters than in the previous books. There is also a long, fantastic section that reminds me of Moria, but with his own dark, hopeless Bakker-ian flavor. "

" Who is the great evil or the most evil continues to be allusive. A densely packed plot of characters, philosophy about what motivates religion and culture. "

" Full review on my podcast SFBRP #131. "

" This series continues to be my favorite. Fantastic "

" I was disappointed by this book, especially since his first trilogy was well-written and made the reader want to read. This was still in-depth but paid too much attention to the surroundings and not the storyline. "

" I felt that this was the best book in the series so far (with the possible exception of The Thousandfold Thought). I eagerly anticipate the next installment. "

" Nope. Don't do it. This is a complete pile of garbage with some of the same characters as the MASTERFUL "Prince of Nothing" series. Bad, bad, bad. "

" Like The Prince Of Nothing trilogy, Bakker's writing is so good that his few flaws stand out all the more - in part because the parts I don't like are clumsily handled. Still, a great read. "

" i would give it five stars but the mines of moria was just a little too familiar in this setting... "
