Blogpost 25: The Heroes

    There are some parts of how the way this book is told that really annoys me, like when there is a a character arc and then all of a sudden the character returns to the way he was in the beginning. This kind of makes you feel like you have been reading for nothing and it gets really annoying. The cool things that the author does is that he writes a situation, and plays it up like its something to cheer about, and then he snaps it back to realism, for example, This character Beck is played up like he wants to fight and gain a reputation, when he got to his first battle, he peed himself, and ran away to a nearby house and hid in the closest. Wow.

blogpost 24: The Heroes

In the book The Heroes, which is a spin off of a series called The First Law Trilogy. It takes place directly after the events of the first spin off  Best Served Cold. The book is told by many point of view, but really I only like a few. One is a soldier in the Union army, he is funny, and he's pretty much know how to be a successful soldier, which is try to avoid as  much fighting as you possibly can. There is Calder, who is hilarious. He reminds me of Tyrion Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire. he is so much like Tyrion Lannister that the only thing about him thats different is his height. Then there is Beck, who is an interesting character because he wants to make a name for himself. One of the best things about this entire franchise of books is the way characters deal with moral situations and there standpoint on doing the right thing or what even is the right thing. Beck is niave because he believes in stories and songs and doesn't relize what a dark buisness it is. I'm interested to see how he will react to it.
