Explanation To Books Caine's Law (The Acts of Caine #4)

SOME LAWS YOU BREAK. SOME BREAK YOU. AND THEN THERE’S CAINE’S LAW.   From the moment Caine first appeared in the pages of Heroes Die, two things were clear. First, that Matthew Stover was one of the most gifted fantasy writers of his generation. And second, that Caine was a hero whose peers go by such names as Conan and Elric. Like them, Caine was something new: a civilized man who embraced savagery, an actor whose life was a lie, a force of destruction so potent that even gods thought twice about crossing him. Now Stover brings back his greatest creation for his most stunning performance yet. Caine is washed up and hung out to dry, a crippled husk kept isolated and restrained by the studio that exploited him. Now they have dragged him back for one last deal. But Caine has other plans. Those plans take him back to Overworld, the alternate reality where gods are real and magic is the ultimate weapon. There, in a violent odyssey through time and space, Caine will face the demons of his past, find true love, and just possibly destroy the universe. Hey, it’s a crappy job, but somebody’s got to do it.

Discuss Out Of Books Caine's Law (The Acts of Caine #4)
So... a pretty good ending to the series. Overall an enjoyable read but it differs pretty significantly from earlier books in the series. Not quite to the point that Speaker for the Dead, et al differed from Ender's Game, but there is something of a tonal shift and change of feel. All that said, some cool ideas here and a decent resolution of the series. However, I cannot recommend the book to most of the people I am connected to here because of content--most particularly language. Things are

An excellent ending to the Caine series. Caine's Law does what I've come to expect from the Caine books - a mixture of violent sword&sorcery, and overarching social commentary. This book does reference the other books heavily, and shifts location and time period with little warning - being familiar with the previous books is absolutely necessary to understanding this latest book. While this sort of skipping around can be aggravating and confusing, it is used to good effect if you're already

While I straight-up could not get enough of books 1, 2, and 3, I feel like Stover might have gone too meta or epic with this one. In some ways, he'd written himself into a corner with the first three. Always upping the stakes, it was only a matter of time before he went totally cosmic. It's the same great characters you've come to know and love and root for plus new characters that are fascinating and engrossing but it's all elevated to a heady place of universal mythic status that left me a

Have you ever read a book and felt like you were talking to yourself? Well, it you haven't, it's a weird feeling. It's like someone got inside your head, pulled everything that you think and feel out and wrote it all down in a far more eloquent and sensible way than you ever could. Weird.Anyway, that was this book for me. I'm now a little bit worried.If you haven't read any of the other Acts of Caine, this is NOT the place to start. Caine's Law and Caine Black Knife are like two sides of the

Two stars only due to how much I loved the previous books. I felt like I was on a 5 day LSD crank binge of time travel/dimensional hallucinatory reading. Literally I had no idea what the f#%^ was even going on. After finishing it I felt like an average weekend morning from my twenties. Little to no understanding of what happened the night before and completely unsure of whether I had a good time or not.

A really interesting end to the series, and one that I enjoyed more than the previous two. The philosophy that forms a major part of Blade of Tyshalle and Caine Black Knife is still present and may form a barrier to entry for some, especially after Heroes Die, which is a very different book from it's three sequels. In retrospect I think this is what may have put me off the two middle entries in the series. Perhaps I knew what to expect with this book and so I enjoyed it more.Anyway, Caine is

Another solid addition to the Caine series (perhaps the conclusion? It's hard to tell...), and probably the most ambitious of the four. Stover dives straight into the deep end with this one, juggling time-travel (kinda?), parallel timelines (probably?), events erasing the existence of other events (I think?), and general chaos.
