My Thoughts on The Summoner Called Abominable
First Impressions
"The Summoner Called Abominable" certainly throws you into the deep end of a classic fantasy world. We're talking elves, adventurers, and a protagonist who seems to be navigating a world stacked against him from the get-go. The premise itself is intriguing, hinting at a potentially dark and complex story about discrimination and overcoming adversity. The "abominable" title definitely piqued my interest, suggesting a protagonist who's either feared, misunderstood, or both.
What Works Well
The core concept of a clever, perhaps even cold, protagonist rising through the ranks in a harsh fantasy setting is undeniably appealing. The tags alone – "abandoned children," "fantasy world," "adventurers" – paint a picture of a world ripe with conflict and opportunity. I find myself drawn to stories where characters have to rely on their wits and resourcefulness to survive, especially when they're starting from a disadvantaged position. The potential for character development and world-building seems immense.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, there's a significant hurdle to enjoying this novel: the translation quality. It’s difficult to fully immerse oneself in the narrative when the prose is clunky and awkward. I often found myself mentally rewriting sentences to parse their intended meaning. This constant effort to decipher the text detracts significantly from the overall reading experience. While I appreciate the effort of making the story available, the current state of the translation makes it hard to truly connect with the story and characters. I'm hoping that improvements are made in this area, as the underlying story seems promising.
Final Verdict
"The Summoner Called Abominable" has the potential to be a compelling fantasy read, but it's currently held back by its translation. The premise and world-building elements are intriguing, and the protagonist's journey promises to be a captivating one. However, the rough translation makes it a challenging read. I'm cautiously optimistic that the translation will improve, at which point I'd gladly revisit this story. For now, proceed with caution and be prepared to exercise your mental editing muscles.
