Paryn's Gold Chadash Chronicles Book 3 (Volume 3) David G. Johnson 9780692319758 Books Reviews

I saved Paryn’s Gold to savor, and it was worth it. This is yet another great book on Chadash.

Is this the best of the four so far?
That’s very hard to say. To prepare for book three I reread the first three Saga of the Everking (a lil’bitty thing), Fool’s Errand #1, and Mystic’s Mayhem #2. They were as good as I remember. In fact, they were even better the second time through. However, they made Paryn’s Gold seem a little sparse. I’d still have to give Fool’s Errand the nod as the best so far. By the way, don’t let my slight gritching about Paryn’s Gold put you off. This is a wonderful book.

Fool’s Errand is a masterful entry into a new world built by Mr. Johnson. The descriptions are rich and lush—depicting this extremely complex world in all its glory. It well may be that Paryn’s Gold is just the extension of the tale moving through a world in which I’m already comfortable. As a result, many of the gadgets have already been described in earlier books. Having just reread the earlier books a couple weeks ago, this book seems a bit lacking in description. I suspect this might even be a problem if you read the first two more than a year ago. On the other hand, I remember feeling the same way about The Fellowship of the Ring. Two Towers was a let down for me. I suspect that the real issue is that I really love being introduced to a completely new world culture, political structure, religion, spirituality, economics, clothing, tools, and so on. Once that excitement has passed, the rest of the books are slightly dull in comparison. That is almost certainly what is happening here on Chadash also.

The characters keep getting better
Several new characters are introduced in this book. The good guys and gals are as marvelous as the original heroes, and very well developed. This is where David really shines (although as a world-builder he is also exceptional). As in all the books, the evil characters are lacking a bit—probably because of an attempt to avoid offending the sensibilities of traditional Christian readers. That’s a little sad—sad that so many Christians demand insulation from reality. On the other hand, immersion in sin is certainly not edifying. It’s a fine balance and David has handled it masterfully—erring (if at all) on the side of caution.

Those of you who know me realize I dislike romances. However, I like relationships as they grow in a book like this. Book #1 seems pregnant with possibilities. Book #3 didn’t fulfill any of them, though at least three relationships have hints tossed out. The book left many things hanging, even though the basic story of the three books is satisfactorily concluded. I can easily see three or four more trilogies coming from Chadash. I hope that happens. It’s a wonderful place in which to escape.

Spiritually, fully evangelical
David’s roots as a missionary shine through well. The Holy Spirit is definitely missing from the action so it’s not Full Gospel at all. However, the working of the Lord is strongly present‚ much more than in most evangelical books. It’s wonderful to read a book like this about believers and how they relate within the real world. It is really well done and still very rare in publishing—especially in fantasy and science fiction.

** I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK FOR MY READING PLEASURE **

Let me just admit, before I get too far, that I'm a massive fan of this series so far. When I was asked if I wanted to read and review an advanced copy of this book, I just about did a fangirl scream and said 'Gimme! Gimme!'. I refrained, but it didn't lessen my excitement for starting this story.

And it did not disappoint.

As ever, I always think the introduction/foreword or whatever comes before the actual story is important. It's there for a reason. So that's where I'm going to start. Mr Johnson says

“Whatever else is true of my stories, I sincerely hope that my books do not devolve into predictable, black and white stereotypes of believing heroes and unbelieving villains.

[…]

I do not believe my works force my faith upon anyone or put any constraints on them to believe in order to enjoy my novels.”

Well, I can reassure him there, because I'm not a believer. I'm one of those people who is too curious about everything, to ever truly believe in the one thing. But I wholeheartedly believe in these characters, their stories and the way that Mr Johnson so seamlessly tricks your mind into expecting one thing, while he delivers another.

To the story

“Looks like the heroes of Dragon Pass are riding together again.”

I couldn't have said it any better myself, Gideon. But then, wait for it…Thatcher jumps in with that loveable, roguish charm as always.

Gideon “Looks like the heroes of Dragon Pass are riding together again. If all goes well, we should be back in Aton-Ri within ten days.”

“Thatcher grinned. “If all goes well, captain, it will be the first time, and a pleasant surprise.” Yes it would, Thatch. And it would be all the more boring for it, if everything went to plan.

I can't even express to you how happy I was to slip back into this series. It was like going to my favourite holiday destination, where I knew everyone and they knew me, with only a few changes to jump out and surprise me.

One of the new changes, was the addition of Tink and the mention of Tank and Tweet. Tink was a great new characters; he appears sparingly, at the beginning, but I see a lot of potential in him. He's very funny, is friends with Thatcher and is steampunkish, which is nice to see.

However, there's nothing I love more than a group of misfits getting together and becoming a family. That's what these guys already are, but that doesn't make this journey and less exciting, but more so. There's an ease with each other, that is great to see. My two favourite characters, Thatcher and Melizar are more confident, even if a little cocky at the beginning. Their confidence, this time, is no longer false bravado but genuine belief in themselves and their companions.

It's also really great, even for a fan like I am who has read both previous books, to have a recap of the small details. The land layout, weapons and races are all important details and I was relieved to have them gone over again, without it feeling overbearing or repetitive. They all came at a time in the story when it was important, unobtrusive and only reminded me of what was relevant to the story.

“Yep, one big happy family.” Gideon gets the best lines. And this is true. Gideon is like the dad of the group and Thatcher the toddler who gets into all the trouble possible, but who is adorable enough to get away with it. Duncan is the crazy uncle who winds everybody up the wrong way, but that everyone loves, and Goldain the big brother, with the bone crushing hugs. Arreya is the mother figure and the strong, nurturing kind, while Melizar is the wise uncle, both teasing and a teacher.

I didn't like Jacob, from the beginning. He seemed a little too hesitant to speak about what should have been a simple explanation. The fact that Thatcher and Melizar were suspicious, as well, just sealed the deal for me. I'd follow them anywhere, and I followed them right into thinking Jacob untrustworthy. You'll have to read the book to find out if we were right or not. ;)

I was really glad to hear about Jeslyn again, even though her story was pretty comfortably settled at the end of the last book. It's good that she got her 'conclusion' to her story. Again read it and you'll find out what I mean.

I loved the inclusion of the new characters Ramaz, Markus, Baridokos and Mortika. They are great, fun characters, always stirring the pot. I love the interactions between Markus and Melizar, as well as the big hard man with the soft interior feel I got from Markus. Baridokos was brilliant and a really strong character.

I really love that there is no one main character in all these books. The only consistently main character is the One Lord (God) and that seems right, since it's all about his people and what they do in His name. I love that, however brilliant in their own right, all the characters are equal to each other and not one of them dominates the story more than the others. It also says a lot about the equality of the group, that no-one ever tries to overshadow the others either.

Nothing is ever easy for this lot, but they always take it in their stride, good or bad. I adore that Thatcher is learning to be less boastful and prideful, which is really helping him see the Light of the path to the One Lord. I also love that Melizar has little shining moments of clarity, but that it gets clouded with confusion, doubts and literal interpretations of knowledge, even right until the end.

Auntie is a brilliantly devised character. She's a hoot and I can see her and Gideon, with his weird sense of humour, getting along famously.

But, when all is said and done, this is by far my favourite quote (and yes, it's be Melizar)

“Okay, step right up for your express doorway to the road to scenic Thalyia, where you can enjoy such varied activities as muggings, stabbings, poisonings and, for the truly adventurous, involuntary slavery. Don't miss out, step on through, folks; only ten gold pieces for the adventure of a lifetime.”

BEST. QUOTE. EVER.

I would, absolutely, definitely, positively, love to see Melizar, Thatcher and Malandyr (Melizar's brother) go on an adventure together. That would be EPIC! Throw in Baridokos and it could be an amazing party. I literally did a fist pump when Malandyr popped up; I was so excited.

The funniest part of the book, would be when Baridokos was doped up from an in jury treatment from Auntie. He was hilarious. The saddest part? I can't tell you. You'll have to read it. The song sung by Ragar Truebolt was a good solid cry, but it wasn't, by far, the first or the last. Let's just say that me and this book have some unfinished business. I'm not sure it understands how difficult it was to read the last chapter, particularly from Melizar approaching Stonehold to the end of the book, with tears flooding my eyes and soaking everything in sight. Thanks very much, Paryn's Gold. Great job.

Another great instalment from Mr Johnson that I will re-read again and again.
Book 3 of a trilogy. Well developed fantasy stories with exciting plot developments. Worth reading!
This is one of those series that you don't want to end! The characters become friends who will be missed! It's well set up for more books so I'm hoping this isn't where it stops.
This is the best book in the series. The writer is more clear in getting the reader to understand terms while balancing the characters use of the "terms." The story telling is a bit more complex with some challenges and faltering from hero's at some levels. The key climax occurs too quickly still but it was followed by another key element that led to character depth and exploration of reactions. The book does hint at story elements in the universe for the future. It is worth reading the whole series to see the depth and experience what this book delivers. Keep an eye on this author as he clearly demonstrates growth in his writing as he goes. I expect further works to be even better.
