Alexandr Rudazov: Archimage
2024-02-04
The tale of the archmage Creole, who traversed through Sumer and embarked on a battle against Leng, unfolds with a plethora of characters. Commencing as a humorous fantasy, the narrative gradually introduces serious moments and pivotal choices with each subsequent book. The storyline intricately weaves elements of Lovecraftian monsters and Sumerian religious motifs. In the latter volumes, a sense of weariness and a hastening to conclude the narrative become perceptible. Nevertheless, the books remain excellent. The archmage’s story concludes, with some characters meeting their demise, permanently departing the realm of the living. As the saga reaches its end, a lingering sensation of loss and sadness accompanies the realization that the tale has reached its conclusion.
