“ He spoke with eloquence, and his listeners drank in his words with delight, as if swallowing candied dates. They were defenseless against the power of his voice. ”

David Farland – The Sum of All Men


This series reads easily and is a classic fantasy story. We have wizards, knights, and dragons :-) Just kidding, there are no dragons, only ravens!

One concept that particularly fascinated me about this series was the ability to combine a person's abilities and physical characteristics. I had never encountered anything like it in the fantasy genre, and you could say it captivated me immediately. It adds a dynamic note to the series. We never know which side has the upper hand at any given moment, or what fate awaits the characters. And it's a lot of reading, as the series consists of six volumes.

So, if you're in the mood for a truly classic fantasy story with knights, conflict, journeys, and a greater threat in the background that can only be defeated by..., then give "The Sum of All Men" a chance.

I devoured the book immediately. Gaborn's world completely captivated me. I am aware that David Farland's world won't appeal to everyone. I am delighted. I have already bought the next volume and am looking forward to more. Wizards, mythical creatures, war, and love – this is literature at its finest. I can only recommend it.

The second volume of the series is, in my opinion, slightly better than its predecessor. There is significantly more action, the characters are interesting, and the world is truly impressive. Of course, there are a few things that bother me, but they are few and do not detract from the enjoyment of reading. Additionally, the author has added a philosophical touch to the story; one clearly understands what drives the characters.

I bought the book at a bookstore during a sale for a few cents, rather accidentally – the titles matched, but the author is not the same. However, it turned out to be interesting. Initially, it was a bit difficult to understand – it's the third volume of the series – but after reading it, I can certainly say that I will definitely read the two previous volumes at some point.

Autumn colors at home – shades that bring peace and warmth

Do you remember autumn from your childhood, when the leaves changed color like a kaleidoscope, and your mom would pull out the pumpkin-colored sweater she'd worn since college? Or those evenings in front of the TV while a storm raged outside, and the lamplight in the house gave everything a warm, amber hue? Those were the days when no one talked about "color palettes" or "color stories"—colors simply existed, as natural as breathing. Today, when we can choose from 50 shades of gray (and no, I'm not talking about THAT book), we sometimes lose track of what truly makes a home feel cozy. At Pillovely, we believe that autumn colors aren't a trend—they're a return to what makes us feel safe. Because "You are someone"—someone who deserves a space filled with colors that snuggle like a grandma's blanket.
