The book has enough gore to gross out Genghis Khan. Author’s gritty yet offhand writing style fits the first person PoV to a T as we progress on Khraen’s journey to regain his lost heart and memories. With each fragment Khraen discovers more of the man he was.Ĭontinues seamlessly from book 1. Necromancers and sorcerers rule warring tribes haunted by the ghosts of savage and primal gods. The islands, largely ignored by the Wizard’s Guild, have become a refuge for the unwanted of the world. You Can level up skills, everyone has a different rate of levelling up and also different ceilings in terms of potential.Drawn by the shards of his obsidian heart, Khraen follows the path south. LeBron could never get as strong as Bjornsson, Bjornsson would forever be lacking in every other area compared to LeBron. They are stronger than Bjornsson and faster, more agile, and more explosive than LeBron. That being said, what brings Gold's firmly into the realm of SciFi is how well rounded they are. Body types and genetics play an important role in whether you're strong, or fast, or explosive, have endurance etc etc. Contrary to popular belief, hard work and dedication isn't the only thing you need to achieve a sporting goal. Maybe if LeBron got on the same steroid cycle and training regime as Bjornsson (earlier in life), we could see a peak athlete, but even then he wouldn't be able to match his strength. I usually picture basketball players with fighters physiques.īut objectively he is a gold, in the sense that he is simply a human with good genetics who has used the best modern tech to rise into the top 1% of humans in terms of strength, and is puny when compared to a peak obsidian. Subjectively yes, I would class him as an obsidian (his ancestors are whom obsidians are based after all), and I also agree with you about LeBron James. Ragnar, for comparison, is 2.60 to 2.75m tall, and about 250kgs. That being said, there is obviously even more scientific tomfoolery going on with Gold's, because (as evident by the fight Hafthor recently completed) humans this big struggle to do any sort of cardio based activity for more than 30 minutes.įYI He weighed in at 152kgs for this fight, he is 2.06m tall. Hafthor Bjornsson= peak humans (genetically speaking) accidentally breeding with other peak humans to create the best possible genetic human, who then enhanced himself with steroids, and trained using what is currently considered the best training methods, but no SciFi technology. Gold's= peak humans (genetically speaking) selectively breeding with other peak humans to create the best possible genetic humans, who are then enhanced with steroids and sci fi technology, and trained using what is (in universe) currently considered the best training methods, and even more SciFi technology. He's gold everyone, it's a pretty simple answer.
