Ааргх в эльфятнике

Ааргх #2

by Андрей Белянин

Я - ааргх! В принципе этим все и сказано, получеловек-полутролль, гора мышц с врожденным талантом рычать и тупить. Живу в фэнтезийном мире, населенном несуразностями, нестыковками и штампами. Зато у нас весело! Особенно когда меня с моим худосочным хозяином графом Эшли нанимают в таинственный поход ради "светлого будущего всей эльфийской расы"! Следом увязались два ворчливых гнома, по пути присоединилась самая уродливая наемница, вслед припустила тайная полиция, черные орки, дорогостоящие убийцы, да еще и настоящий Жрец Зла на огнедышащем драконе! Мораль: никогда не доверяй эльфам...

About the author

Andrei Belyanin (Андрей Белянин) is a modern Russian science fiction and fantasy writer, who wrote at least 15 novels with many of then selling over 2 million copies. He is especially known for humour and parody in his fiction. Belyanin's novels are mostly ironcal chrono-operas, where the pun is based on anachronisms.

Belyanin is married. He had a son, Ivan, who was kidnapped in 2004 for sake of ransom. Although the kidnappers were arrested a few days after, Ivan Belyanin was found dead, as they killed him at the day of the kidnapping. The criminals, brothers Kirill and Ivan Kostylev, both were sentenced to prison.

Reviews

[Alena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Милая и легкая. Как и первая книга, не претендует на интеллектуальное чтиво, но хорошо помогает раслабится вместо сериальчиков

[Olga Skykitten · Rating 4 out of 5]

Лёгкое чтиво для бессонницы

[Illiterate Bibliophile · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not sure that I remember my emotions correctly from the times when I read the first book in the trilogy, but I've got the feeling that I enjoyed the second one a lot more. It's fun and intentionally trivial, and the author makes it all work. I'm actually sad that I can't get on the third novel right away because I'll definitely miss the characters, who are not exactly likeable (well, maybe not right away), but still have become special.
