ANG SIBAT NG TADHANA
Ang Paghahanap kay Bucephalus
Ang mito ay naging isang kasaysayan na lamang na hindi na pinaniniwalaan ng karamihan
Ang patuloy na pakikipagsapalaran…
Walang makakawala sa nakakasindak na Kailaliman. Walang liligtas sayo. Tanging dala mo lamang ay ang espada sa iyong kamay at kabiyak ng iyong kaluluwa…
Ang laban para kontrolin ang pinaka mapanganib na artepakto sa kasaysayan ay lumalalang nang tumangka ang mga daemons na nakawin ang Sibat ng Kaguluhan. Ang Sibat ng Tadhana ay nag-iisang pag-asa ng sangkatauhan upang maiwasan ang paglilipol na nakatago upang hindi maabot ng mga ordinaryong mortal. Sa kawalan ng pagpipilian, hinirang ni Tadhana ang kaisa-isang kabayo sa buong kasaysayan na maaaring makakabawi sa dalawang artepakto; si Bucephalus, ang kabayong pandigma ni Alexander the Great.
Perpoks! –
Napakaganda. Ang librong ito sadyang puno ng mga kababalaghan na bumibihag ng atensyon ng
mga taong kagaya ko. Ang balangkas ng Sibat ng Tadhana ay dumadaloy ng maayos, walang
labis at walang kulang. Tama na tama lang. Kahit hindi ako mahilig sa librong pantasya, hindi ko
alam pero lubos kong nagustuhan ang librong ito sa puntong hindi ko na talaga ito maibaba.
Sabik na sabik akong malaman kung ano ang mangyayari sa balangkas. Paborito kong karakter si
Khebechet dahil sa kanyang mapagmahal at matibay na personalidad. Ang kanyang motibo sa
kabuuan ng librong ito at ang kanyang kahihinatnan sa dulo ay tumagos sa aking puso. Sa lahat
lahat, nag-enjoy ako sa pagbabasa nito. Umaasa ako na hihigitan pa ng manunulat ang susunod
na libro.
All-in-1 book. Customer Satisfied!!! –
The Spear of Destiny is an adult fantasy novel with a modern twist, about the journey of
Khebechet and her companions to save the different realms from evil. It is a mix of high fantasy
with just the right amount of urban fantasy to bring you back to Earth (pun intended). Coupled
with Well’s profound use of imagery, the Spear of Destiny is jam-packed with vivid battle scenes
that will have you at the edge of your seat. The fact that the author was able to smoothly
incorporate Norse, Greek, and Egyptian mythology with biblical references altogether was
astounding to say the least. I just wish we get to see Ha-Set’s new journey in this volume, but
I’m guessing that’s for book 3. Needless to say, I. Need. Answers. Spear of Destiny easily gets a
4 out 5 for me! Such a fun and exciting read. Definitely recommend.
Definite must read. –
Nowadays, we live in a crazy world full of crazy times and Spear of Destiny: Finding
Bucephalus was the perfect book to dive into. I was pretty certain that nothing could surprise me
anymore after Spear of Chaos but this book delivered with its fantastic storytelling of friendship,
adventure, and fantasy, as if it was given by the Gods themselves. See what I did there. The story
truly is a gift that keeps on giving. A group of mortals with distinct personalities that go on a
journey together to destroy the Spear of Chaos and Gods at war make for a fun read. There is
action and violence, friendship and betrayal. The characters are strong and no-nonsense and I
loved the fact that each and every one of them are confident and interesting. In this Mary Lou
Wells sequel, trust her ability in making a compelling story.
Amazing, but not so much. –
An amalgamation of histories, cultures, and religions, the Spear of Destiny stands in the
crossroads of an identity crisis in whether or not it was to be a grand adventure story, an adult
fantasy, or just a retelling of an old history book given fantastical elements and lore in order to
create a story. I couldn’t decide whether this story is supposed to be a YA novel, an epic fantasy,
or an urban fantasy novel. Tone is very important. The book was good, however; a solid sequel
in the series, but the story is subdued in the build up and plot. A commonplace macguffin quest
does not really hold up to the mystery and epicness of the first book’s plethora of characters. And
in the end, the Spear of Destiny, the item that is supposed to be central for the book, doesn’t
really do much in the sense that this spear is supposed to be the fix-all of the story. But it doesn’t
fix all of the issues. Khebechet still has to pursue the demons and the dread lords, and the world,
despite the founding of the spear of destiny, is still at peril. It is also rather shallow that
Khebechet has to live a life with Isa on Earth when it is supposed to be her punishment.
Regardless, the author does her best in acclimating the reader to the world, the imagery her
words put forth is amazing, and while the pacing does seem to move a lot, it is still very much
entertaining and interesting to read. Overall, this book is solid. And I hope that in the third book
in this series, everything is ironed out.
Hindi ka magsisising basahin ito. –
Ang Sibat ng Tadhana ay tungkol sa kapana-panabik at matinding paglalakbay nina Khebechet
upang mailigtas ang mundo at ang iba’t ibang mga kaharian. Ang paghalo-halo ni Mary Lou
Wells sa iba’t ibang elemento ng Norse, Greek, at Egyptian na mitolohiya ay nagbibigay ng
napakakulay na karanasan sa mambabasa. Ang marka ko sa librong ito ay apat (4) na bituin.
Tila’y nanonood ako ng isang pelikula tuwing nagbabasa ako nito. Ang masasabi ko lang ay
nakakamangha at nakakagalak na maranasan ang libro na ito. Mahusay ang paggawa at pag buo
sa mundo at mga karakter. Sana hindi huminto ang autor na lumikha at sumulat ng mga kwento
tungkol sa pantasya at pakikigapsapalaran sapagka’t hindi siya nabibigo.
Good story. If you are looking for a fictional story, I recommend this. –
This novel will definitely take us to a magical journey. It made me realize that books can attach
you to the characters. What I like about this book is the unique roles of the characters especially
demons where I am completely hooked up. It’s nice that the author gives us a glimpse of some
spiritual aspects such as dark entities that surround humans. ĶIt also made me ponder about how
crucial teamwork and dedication is despite the obstacles that might be a hindrance towards your
goal. An event of the story that captivates me the most is when an elemental dragon named
Aurinel kept an eye on Mary Lou as she sensed that something powerful was present in this
human. This storm dragon is obliged to protect and secure the safety of the humans against dark
entities. The writer did a great job in writing this heart-stealing story.
Kakaiba ito. –
Kakaiba ang nobelang ito kaysa sa ibang mga libro. Ito ay naglalaman ng pantasyang istorya
kabilang na ang mga kampon ng kadiliman at ang mga kapanalig ng Diyos. Namangha ako sa
galing ng sumulat sa kwentong ito dahil pinili niyang magsulat tungkol sa mga bagay na
nangyayari sa labas ng mundo ng mga tao. Lalo akong naging mas interesado ng tapusin ang
pagbabasa ng kwento dahil sa determinasyon ng magkaibigan na puksain ang kadiliman.
Talagang nagagalak akong basahin ang librong ito at wala na akong masasabi pa.
