AKCJA, DYNAMIKA, EMOCJE – to słowa, które w dość lapidarny, ale niezwykle trafny sposób określają tę książkę. Już pierwsze zdania powieści przenoszą czytelnika w sam środek dynamicznych wydarzeń. Ucieczka przez Las Wisielców przed przerażającymi stworzeniami – Gorenami to dopiero początek przygód kilkunastoletniej Neidy. Dziewczyna w świecie zamieszkanym przez różnorakie wykreowane przez Autora istoty będzie narażona na wiele śmiertelnych niebezpieczeństw i zmuszona podejmować arcytrudne decyzje. Nawet widmo śmierci nie powstrzyma jej przed stoczeniem walki z infernalną mocą o nazwie Maraa, będącą mrocznym przeciwieństwem życia i pochłaniającą energię każdej jego formy. Czy Nemasusowi, demonicznemu kapłanowi Maraa ze Świątyni Czeluści, uda się pokonać Neidę?
Wartka akcja i emocje towarzyszące lekturze sprawiają, że "Neida i zemsta bogów" to ciekawa pozycja dla miłośników literatury fantasy. Na pewno z niecierpliwością będą oni oczekiwać kolejnych części.
Najpierw była myśl.Wszechświat składa się z nieskończonej liczby atomów. Nie jesteśmy w stanie pojąć nieskończoności. Być może istnieją inne cywilizacje.Ziemscy uczeni odbierają z Kosmosu dźwięk, który mógłby być komunikatem od istot rozumnych. Jak jednak odczytać to przesłanie, nie wiedząc nic o nadawcach - nawet: czy istnieją?Głos Pana jest audiobookiem, w którym brak awanturniczej akcji, ale zmagania z tajemnicą poruszają i przykuwają uwagę mocniej niż w niejednej powieści przygodowej. Zwłaszcza że dotknięcie Nieznanego prowokuje do zadania elementarnych pytań o istotę świata, naturę człowieka i źródła defektów Bytu.

Intrygujące przygody Bastarda Rycerskiego Przezornego i Błazna, jego tajemniczego przyjaciela, na nowo zaabsorbowały uwagę czytelników za sprawą Skrytobójcy Błazna, autorstwa niedoścignionej Robin Hobb. Teraz do rąk wielbicieli trafia Wyprawa Błazna, która jest nie tylko ciągiem dalszym opowieści. Autorka buduje fabułę po mistrzowsku, z wykorzystaniem artyzmu i nieposkromionej wyobraźni, których jej sympatycy już przywykli od niej oczekiwać. Prowadzi czytelnika przez mroki sekretów, odsłania wstrząsającą prawdę, wydobywa na światło dzienne zmowę, która kładzie się cieniem na życiu Bastarda i pogrąża jego świat w ciemnościach, odbierając wszelką nadzieję. Dawno, dawno temu, Bastard i Błazen zmienili losy świata, doprowadzając do odrodzenia magii smoków i zapewniając sukcesję rodu Przezornych, a co za tym idzie - stabilność losów królestwa. Tak im się przynajmniej zdawało. Tymczasem Błaznowi grozi śmierć z rąk okrutnych istot o bladej skórze, które chcą rządzić światem, a plany dominacji opierają na panowaniu nad siłami, jakimi zapewne dysponuje córka Bastarda. Z jednej strony umierający Błazen, z drugiej intrygi na królewskim dworze, w które Bastard został uwikłany wbrew woli... Wystarczyła chwila nieuwagi, by doszło do tragedii: prześladowcy dawnego trefnisia porwali Pszczołę, by wykorzystać ją w roli, jaką planowali dla Błazna: jako potężną broń. Bastard Rycerski Przezorny nie jest jednak bezbronny. Starożytna magia nadal płynie w jego żyłach i choć z upływem lat nieco stracił wprawę w fachu skrytobójcy, to przecież go nie zapomniał. Teraz w równej mierze wrogowie i przyjaciele dowiedzą się, że nie istnieje nikt groźniejszy od mężczyzny, który nie ma już nic do stracenia.
