Resumen del Editor
Paul Hoffman's novel of astonishing scope and imagination, featuring a darkly gifted teenage boy at the center of a brutal holy war, grabs the reader from its incredible opening lines and refuses to let go. The Left Hand of God is the first novel in an epic, ambitious trilogy that will prove irresistible to the readers who have turned the Inheritance Cycle, Twilight, and the His Dark Materials series into publishing phenomena.
The Left Hand of God is the story of 16-year-old Thomas Cale, who has grown up imprisoned at the Sanctuary of the Redeemers, a fortress run by a secretive sect of warrior monks in a distant, dystopian past. He is one of thousands of boys who train all day in hand-to-hand combat, in preparation for a holy war that only the High Priests know is now imminent. He has no reason to think he's special, no idea there's another world outside the compound's walls, and no hope for a life any different from the one he already knows. And then, Cale opens a door.
What follows is a daring escape, an unlikely alliance, a desperate pursuit, a journey of incredible discovery, and an adventure the likes of which Cale could never possibly have imagined, culminating in Cale's astonishing realization that he alone has the power to save his world - or to destroy it.

Historia
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

The Downs, the poor district of the city of Avarest, is home to cutthroats and thieves, pickpockets and prostitutes, all of whom pay tribute to one of two powerful crime bosses. It is also home to Aaron Envelar, a disillusioned sellsword known as the Silent Blade, who cares nothing for the criminal overlords or their schemes, who only wants to survive and make a little coin. But when a group of thugs steal his mother’s necklace, the only link he has to his murdered parents, Aaron decides that sometimes gold isn’t enough - sometimes, blood is the only payment worth taking.

Magic, adventure, mystery, and romance combine in this epic debut in which a young princess must reclaim her dead mother’s throne, learn to be a ruler - and defeat the Red Queen, a powerful and malevolent sorceress determined to destroy her. On her 19th birthday, Princess Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, raised in exile, sets out on a perilous journey back to the castle of her birth to ascend her rightful throne. Plain and serious, a girl who loves books and learning, Kelsea bears little resemblance to her mother, the vain and frivolous Queen Elyssa.

Gen was a bard's apprentice, his nimble hands meant for the lute and his voice for a song. Then the half-mad and completely bored Shadan Khairn invaded Gen's village to winter there and start a war. He shoved a sword in Gen's hands and tormented his body, shaping a bard into a warrior to be killed for sport. As the days of torture pile up like the snow, Gen searches for death. But the day is at hand when the shattered shards of the world will knit together again, and the world's slain god will be reborn.

slow at first.
it started off slow and I thought I was going to have to struggle to get through it. but it is a story that builds in its excitement and action. a lot of obvious Boy Meets Girl. but it does try not to overdo it

Compelling storyline that goes its own way.
Very happy to listen to an interesting story that strays from the tried and true. Not quite as dark as much of the new adult fantasy reads, this book still has a sense of realism of character and emotion drawing upon some of the uglier parts of the human condition (Sorry to say "human condition" in a review, but it fits).
The story is told by an abstract, somewhat snarky omniscient narrator (a bit like a college professor)--which I kind of enjoyed (although the narrator's influence/presence waxes and wanes throughout the book).
The story follows the life and trials of a young boy who you are introduced to as an acolyte in a fanatical religious compound.
The story is creative and engaging and kept me captivated from start to finish.

Highly enjoyable dark fantasy
Well-written and superbly voiced first volume of a series. Not recommended reading for serious Catholics, as The Redeemers are explicitly based on Medieval Catholicism and the Inquisition, their cruelty and fanaticism raised by several notches. The young hero is a dark mix of qualities, but I found him quite engaging and easy to root for. The pacing, intrigue, emotional hooks, characterizations, dialogue, setting, are all pitch-perfect realizations of standard fantasy tropes. I look forward to listening to the second volume! Great storytelling and adventures, and that is what counts for me.

An enjoyable read
I struggled about halfway through this book but the last couple of chapters did make up for it. I didn't really enjoy the main character or his romance but the politics and military aspects I did enjoy.

Felt a connection with protagonist
It was good! It had a good mix of story development and action. It was you classic under dog story with an anti-hero as the protagonist. I highly recommend that you give it a listen!

Enjoyed every minute
I enjoyed every minute. There are very few books I can say that about. I am surprised more people have not read it. I guess I like books on the extreme ends of mood. I like very optimistic books or books where whatever you do it is the wrong thing. Robin Hobb and Orson Scott Card often write books like the later. This has the flavor of something Hobb and George R. R. Martin might write together. One phrase from the book goes " The solution to every problem is always another problem."
The books starts out with some kids who have never known there parents and are being raised in a monastery where they are beaten, starved and told they are sinners. A typical meal on a good day would be dead man's feet. Rats are considered a delicacy.
The main character is a trained killer. There are several intense moments and you will feel them.
If you liked Gargoyle, I believe you will like this. If you like Card, Hobb or Martin you will like this. I have a new favorite author.

I'd give it a B- or a C+
It was an interesting story but I am not the biggest fan of the third person omniscient writing style. I wouldn't say the writing was bad (though it could be a little cringe at times) it just wasn't my style. I don't like the convenience that it gives where information can be thrown at us without former explanation or build-up. There are many times in the story where something would happen for plot convenience and there would be an immediate explanation as if the author had just thought of the idea, put it in the story, and then had to justify it to themselves. It just felt a little cheap at times. That's my biggest criticism of this book. This isn't really criticism but more of a statement but I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is religious. It feels like the author has some sort of vendetta against Christianity as how closely it resembles the faith yet how cruelly it portrays its believers. I personally didn't have a problem with it but I can see how it could really rub people the wrong way. I think it would have been a wiser choice by the author to distance themselves from modern day faiths and come up with something more original and still keep that cruelty.
