David Farland – The Sum of All Men
David Farland – The Sum of All Men
This series reads easily and is a classic fantasy story. We have wizards, knights, and dragons :-) Just kidding, there are no dragons, only ravens!
One concept that particularly fascinated me about this series was the ability to combine a person's abilities and physical characteristics. I had never encountered anything like it in the fantasy genre, and you could say it captivated me immediately. It adds a dynamic note to the series. We never know which side has the upper hand at any given moment, or what fate awaits the characters. And it's a lot of reading, as the series consists of six volumes.
So, if you're in the mood for a truly classic fantasy story with knights, conflict, journeys, and a greater threat in the background that can only be defeated by..., then give "The Sum of All Men" a chance.

I devoured the book immediately. Gaborn's world completely captivated me. I am aware that David Farland's world won't appeal to everyone. I am delighted. I have already bought the next volume and am looking forward to more. Wizards, mythical creatures, war, and love – this is literature at its finest. I can only recommend it.

The second volume of the series is, in my opinion, slightly better than its predecessor. There is significantly more action, the characters are interesting, and the world is truly impressive. Of course, there are a few things that bother me, but they are few and do not detract from the enjoyment of reading. Additionally, the author has added a philosophical touch to the story; one clearly understands what drives the characters.

I bought the book at a bookstore during a sale for a few cents, rather accidentally – the titles matched, but the author is not the same. However, it turned out to be interesting. Initially, it was a bit difficult to understand – it's the third volume of the series – but after reading it, I can certainly say that I will definitely read the two previous volumes at some point.

Do you remember coming home from school and dropping everything on the little table by the front door? Keys in the china dish, letters propped against the lamp, a vase of whatever was flowering in the garden and the old telephone with its curly cord. It was the first thing you saw when you walked in, and somehow it always said: you are home.

Nest of Tables – What Are They, Who Are They For and How to Style Them
Do you remember Sunday visits to your nan's, when the nest of tables came out from beside the armchair? Three little tables, each tucked neatly under the next, were pulled apart and handed round – one for the teapot, one for the biscuit tin and one for Grandad's crossword – and then slid back together the moment everyone went home.

Do you remember the bookcase in your grandparents' front room?

It was never styled for anyone – and yet it told the whole story of the family.
