Resumen del Editor
The much-anticipated third installment of R. Scott Bakker's acclaimed series, The Aspect-Emperor.
Praised by fans and critics worldwide, R. Scott Bakker has become one of the most celebrated voices in fantasy literature. With The Great Ordeal, Bakker presents the long-anticipated third volume of The Aspect-Emperor, a series that stands with the finest in the genre for its grandiose scope, rich detail, and thrilling story.
As Fanim war drums beat just outside the city, Empress Anasurimbor Esmenet searches frantically throughout the palace for her missing son, Kelmomas. Meanwhile, and many miles away, Esmenet's husband's Great Ordeal continues its epic march farther north. But in light of dwindling supplies, the Aspect-Emperor's decision to allow his men to consume the flesh of fallen Sranc could have consequences even he couldn't have foreseen. And deep in Ishual, the wizard Achamian grapples with his fear that his unspeakably long journey might be ending in emptiness, no closer to the truth than when he set out.
The Aspect-Emperor series follows Bakker's Prince of Nothing saga, returning to the same world 20 years later. The Great Ordeal follows The Judging Eye and The White-Luck Warrior and delivers the first half of the conclusion to this epic story. Returning to Bakker's richly imagined universe of myth, violence, and sorcery, The Aspect-Emperor continues to set the bar for the fantasy genre, reaching new heights of intricacy and meaning.

But now, as the Warmaster Horus marches on Terra to rip his father from the Throne, the seat of the arch-traitor’s power lies empty.

The rebellious son of a long line of pureblood cartographers and diviners, Valen has spent most of his life trying to escape what society - and his family - have ordained for him. His own mother has predicted that he will meet his doom in water, blood, and ice. Her divination seems fulfilled when a comrade abandons Valen in a rainy wilderness half-dead, addicted to an enchantment that converts pain to pleasure, and possessing only a stolen book of maps.

Japan in the late 16th century was a land in turmoil. Lords of the great clans schemed against one another, served by aristocratic samurai bound to them by a rigid code of honor. Bennosuke is a high-born but lonely teenager living in his ancestral village. His mother died when he was a young boy, and his powerful warrior father Munisai has abandoned him for a life of service to his Lord, Shinmei. Bennosuke has been raised by his uncle Dorinbo, a Buddhist monk who urges the boy to forgo the violence of the samurai and embrace the contemplative life.

The small island of Malaz and its city gave the great empire its name, but now it is little more than a sleepy, backwater port. Tonight, however, things are different. Tonight the city is on edge, a hive of hurried, sometimes violent activity; its citizens bustle about, barring doors, shuttering windows, avoiding any stranger's stare. Because tonight there is to be a convergence, the once-in-a-generation appearance of a Shadow Moon - an occasion that threatens the good people of Malaz with demon hounds and other, darker things....

The humans have no magic and are hunted for sport, but that is about to change. War is coming.... The Sun Dragon spawned nine lesser dragons which devoured their parent for the power the elder possessed. These young dragons fought for choice bits of the Sun Dragon, but each only managed to eat a portion, thus giving them specific powers. Over time, these foul dragons were hunted down and slain by heroes of old.

Historia
There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood–that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores.

Narrator sucks
Bakker's series is out of this world. But this new narrator isn't even trying. Shame.

Great book, lackluster narration
Would you listen to The Great Ordeal again? Why?
I think Bakker fairly demands it. This is not a book you will be able to absorb in one sitting.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Great Ordeal?
Sorweel's descent through Ishteribenth, the final confrontations, just everything with Dagliash... good stuff.
Did Kevin Orton do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
I suppose so. He obviously has an expressive voice and can bring real drama to the characters, but his inconsistent pronunciation of names was distracting. He definitely phoned this one in, which is odd, because he's narrated other books in the series. I certainly think the book would benefit from a better narrator, someone along the quality lines of Simon Vance or Michael Page.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I would not. I mean, there's not a theater one that would touch it.
Any additional comments?
It's better if you read it, just because Kevin Orton cannot decide how he wants to pronounce names, sometimes within the same sentence.

Pronunciation is all over the place.
I love these books but please find someone who will at least stay consistent with how they pronounce the names, places etc. this guy changes how he says things between books and even between chapters. Just weird. Other than that good series.

Changing pronunciation!
Kevin Orton is a decent narrator, not as good as David DeVries, but after two book (40+ hours) suddenly many names are being pronounced differently. Not only are they different from the other two books he read but he changes during the book. It's super frustrating. Pick a thing!

Narrator is not that bad
Many reviews cite poor pronunciation by the reader. This is a issue, but it isn't terrible. I could still easily follow the story.
This was my favorite in the series since the original trilogy. The "slog" sections of Books 4 and 5 started to feel like a slog. Here the story picks up rapidly. If you enjoyed the Prince of Nothing series, and the other Aspect Emperor books, you will like this. if you're like me and almost stopped at the White Luck Warrior due to the second series not being as good, and poor reviews of the narration, I would say go on. Once you adjust to the new pronunciations it flows fine and this boom has a lot of great moments. Baller's battle scenes are great and you get many. The disperate plots begin to unify. You get some cool philosophical issues.

Kevin Orton just keeps getting worse.
Orton is by far the worst narrator attached to such a great series. I've grown to love his voice, but his constant mispronunciation of basic English is grating to say the least. In this title, the third in this series (sixth in the grand scheme), he's also taken to mispronouncing character names he got right in the first two books, which makes it even more irritating. The mistakes in the opening credits alone were enough to make me stop listening and come vent about the professional reader being terrible at reading (this isn't my first time surviving the second apocalypse, but I'm not sure I can survive this narration again)
His voice is a gift, but he's bad at his job. I can't recall if it is this specific book, but as an example of how terrible Orton is: within the span of three sentences he pronounces a beloved main character's name two different ways.Consistency would be nice, as this is the third book and he's been familiarized with the names by now. I'm not sure if he's lazy, jaded, or just bad at reading. Perhaps he's a troll. I could probably suffer through him getting Bakker names wrong though, as Bakker writes some pretty wild names, but the addition of hearing Orton say words that are actual English words and thinking "I think he meant..." is just bloody aggravating. .
Bakker is great though. If you made it this far you don't need a review of the book itself. Listening to Orton butcher it is the slog of slogs though. Better off reading it yourself and pretending you're David DeVries.

good book ruined by a terrible performance
Kevin Orton continually changes pronunciations and it's infuriating. The lack of diversity between the voices of the characters also takes away from the experience.

Narrators... please be more consistent...
Love the series, I think Orton is great. I just don't understand how Bakker and his team don't insure that whomever narrates, pronounces all the weird names and places the same from book to book. Unfortunately, even the same narrator who read the previous several novels, changes the pronunciation from book to book. Even the main characters. (WTH is "Kell hoose?! ")
