Title: The Hod King (The Books of Babel Book 3) Pdf
Continues to impress This series is simply engrossing. its a masterpiece, and one of the best series I’ve read in years. I feel grateful that it was recommended to me and I have been able to go on this journey so far as it is written. The characters and setting are engrossing and the story sucks you in and takes over. I cannot wait for the next one!This book is sad, shocking, laugh out loud funny, and totally gripping.If you enjoyed the first two Babel books, this should delight as well Exciting and long awaited, it is sad to learn from the first 25% that Senlin learned ZERO from all his previous experiences. He is still caught off guard and bewildered by nearly everything and everyone that he encounters. Hopefully this will improve in the remaining 75%. But seriously, don’t ANY authors of adventure stories know how to make their protagonists mildly logical and intelligent, and especially capable of learning from their experience? Or does that make plotting too difficult?Intense, Top-Notch Fantasy The Hod King is the long-awaited part three of the Books of Babel, an extraordinarily well-crafted fantasy series. Bancroft plunges the reader right into the deep end of the story without so much as a an effort at providing a synopsis of the two earlier books which offer so much of the background and history not just of the Tower, but of the characters and what they’ve gone through to become what they are. It is therefore highly recommended that the reader peruse those first two volumes before diving into this one even if all your friends are already ahead of you and talking about this one.Bancroft sets his steampunk fantasy world in the legendary Biblical story of the Tower of Babel which was fabled to be so mighty and strong that it threatened to reach to Heaven itself. This fantasy has its rough familiar base in the Tower and in Ur, the ancient Mesopotamian city. Yet, it quickly leaves familiar territory as a middle aged schoolteacher (Senlin) and his young wife (Marya) set off on their honeymoon to visit the legendary tower and lose each other among the great fair set up on its outskirts. The Tower itself is ancient. It is so large that each level contains different city-states or “ringdoms.” And, upon entering it, it’s as odd and different as entering the mad hatter’s tea party. Like John Carter fighting his way across a planet to rescue the incomparable Dejah Thoris, Senlin has his epic odyssey to find Marya and rescue her, if she will still have him after a year or more of separation. Senlin, too, has met all manner of petty lords and ladies and all manner of fell beast, many which are mechanical inventions of the mythical Sphinx. The world-building is terrific. This Tower is so complex that it’s like it’s own planet and there are even airships traveling between ringdoms.As we begin this 600-plus page chapter, Senlin, who is more of a bumbling anti-hero than a swashbuckling swordsman, has traveled much of the length and breadth of the Tower, first alone, and then with a crew of companions, the like of which have seldom been seen, including a pirate captain with an engine for an arm, a giantess warrior, and an acrobatic waif with an eye for mischief. Senlin has made enemies across the ringdoms, many as a feared pirate captain. And, he’s starting to get glimpses of how the Tower functions and how all the players are interconnected. He has also traveled into the Sphinx’s lair where mechanical creations are combined with human and animal forms like the most bizarre concoctions to come out of a kitchen.While the first two books introduced the reader to the mysteries of the Tower, pulling back one curtain after another like traveling through a funhouse, this book draws battle lines as the very future of the Tower is up for grabs. Will the Sphinx continue to control the ringdoms through his Wakeman, his cyborg creations? Will the hods traveling the Black Trail throw of their chains of bondage? What will it take for the living entity of the Tower to continue to function?A few words must be said about the pace and plotting of this book. Bancroft has mastered the art of building the suspense as the story starts slowly and then builds to a crescendo. Throughout Senlin and Volleta’s time in the Phelia ringdom, we see a satirical side develop as courtly manners and popularity are shown to be as empty as can be.The story is not just told through Senlin’s eyes 👀 but through Volleta’s eyes and through Edith’s eyes. That technique of different narrative viewpoints is very popular these days, but it works wonders here.Overall, like the first two books in the series, this is a wondrous incredible read. There may be 600 plus pages but they melt away under your fingers. You can sleep 💤 again when you finish the story, or at least this chapter of the story as book four is coming.
