Interpretation Toward Books The Nonborn King (Saga of the Pliocene Exile #3)

On Earth, six million B.C., two species of alien ruled, the graceful humanoid Tanu and their twisted brethren, the Firvulag. Then men from twenty-second century Earth arrived through a one-way time tunnel — and soon the aliens were locked in a battle to the death, for the humans had upset the precarious balance of power that existed between them. But when the tides of combat had receded, no one group held firm control, though Aiken Drum, man of no woman born, had declared himself the Nonborn King . . . .

Critique Appertaining To Books The Nonborn King (Saga of the Pliocene Exile #3)

This book got a lot darker than I expected it to, and given the previous book I wasn't exactly expecting sunshine and daisies. trigger warnings for rape, PTSD stemming from childhood sexual abuse, abuse and carnage. However, even for the time in which it was written it never felt like it was for shock value alone. Marc was a fascinating new character and his obsessive personality slowly evolving before the reader was very well executed. A lot of those things feel quite raw and baring in mind

Good 3rd book in the series. Alot of the buildup that the first 2 books spent doing gets resolved in this book. Still a slow story for action. Nice different SiFi Read. Recommended

Read this some 12 or so years ago, and it's so far the only part of the series that I have read. It struck some chord in me then, the expanse, there was no main character, anyone could die at anytime, the smart use of different powers...I really look forward to reading the full series and other books from Ms May. I'll go through my library, see if this my printed copy is still with me...or else I get one on Kobo or Kindle.Barnes and noble put it so eloquently below:

This book is the third in the series. I don't think it matters which one you start with I am guessing they are all as dehumanising as this one.There was a lot to dislike about this book. It was quite pretentious in the way it was written (obligatory poem in there and a lot of allusions or direct quotes from elsewhere, too many ethnic or plain strange ways of talking, diversity as exoticised stereotype, etc)There were too many groups of characters and each group had a LOT of characters. Despite

this one was harder to get through. The first two I read cover to cover in a two or three days.

Im disappointed by The Nonborn King, but I wouldnt say Im surprised. Its not like The Golden Torc ended on a note that resonated with me. How could it? All the characters who we got a careful introduction to, thanks to the deliberate pace of The Many Colored Land, were dead or written off, and May replaced them with at least thrice as many characters that we never got the time to properly know.[Spoilersand lots of swearingahead]Still, despite things slipping towards a hard-core plot story where

Lots going on in this series! There is a massive number of characters, species, timelines, subplots, backstabbing and another cliff hanger.. all rolled up into a fantastic story! On to Volume IV!!!!!
