The Weight of the World
The Weight of the World: Volume Two of the Amaranthine Spectrum | Tom Toner
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
It is the 147th century; the turning of the Amaranthine new year. In the provinces of the Old World, the giant Elatine's war of liberation has come to an impasse, leaving the wicked monarchy of the First in possession of the throne. In the Vaulted Lands of the Firmament, acolytes have risen up to execute their immortal masters. The opportunistic races of the Prism, intoxicated with greed, have arrived inside every Solar Satrapy to scavenge whats left. In the wild Investiture, on a forgotten water moon, a crew of shipwrecked Privateers come face to face with their greatest terror, and with it the most valuable treasure in all the galaxy. Jatropha, legendary Immortal, must escort his precious charge through the exotic Westerly Provinces, knowing all the world would steal her if they could. Sotiris, his mind fading fast, must set out to find his dear, drowned sister in a land previously unglimpsed by anyone but the dead. Lycaste, now far from home, must journey in strange company to the edge of a tempestuous sea, to the lair of someone so dangerous that even the legendary Amaranthine fear his name.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blue isn‘t as happy with me using him as a book stand as I am with this book. This is a fantastic continuation of the Amaranthine series by Tom Toner and I just absolutely love the epic scale of this science fantasy. However, it demands a lot of attention from the reader and is mostly for people who love complex, complicated and dense plots in a strange world you know nothing about at first.

How gorgeous is this cover? Now, if you're either: A fantasy fan. Or if you like world building that is complicated. Or if you like science fantasy where the line between science fiction and fantasy gets blurred. Or If you love elaborate plots. Please take a look at Tom Toner's books. He's not for everyone. But so far everything I've read was gorgeous! 👍😍🤓 #sciencefiction #spaceopera

Leniverse That sounds right up my alley! Making note. 👍 8y
Moray_Reads I've never heard of him but his work sounds really interesting! 8y
Vinjii @Leniverse @Moray_Reads The first book was called "The Promise of the Child" and it gave me a headache at first because it drops you right into an unfamiliar world and you're left to figure out how to swim. It took me a while to understand the world and figure out what's going on but then I fell in love! This one is apparently less confusing ? 8y
DGRachel I did a double take - didn't expect to see an ex-boyfriend's name as the author of a book on Litsy (NOT the author, but still threw me off). 😂 Not sure I can read these. 8y
