| Re: Toll the Hounds
I’m half way through Toll The Hounds. Erikson is also very good at describing the situation that confronts us. Also the state of a low-down dwelling, the large estates and his characters. The conversations between the same two characters in other books, are still written in the same way as before, with dry wit. He’s also extremely good at describing the various types of countrysides – the plains, the areas which grow fruit and other produce, the sea and it’s coastal villages. This gives a long journey something to break the monotony!
I haven’t notice it in previous books but in ‘Toll The Hounds’, there is some action but seems to be more emphasis on the ‘thoughts’ of his characters. Has anyone else noticed this?
It's taken me longer to read but I am enjoying it. |
