(3.03) | Ingen | From the author of Neverness comes a powerful new epic fantasy series. The Ea Cycle is as rich as Tolkien and as magical as the Arthurian myths. The world of Ea is an ancient world settled in eons past by the Star People. However, their ancestors floundered, in their purpose to create a great stellar civilisation on the new planet: they fell into moral decay. Now a champion has been born who will lead them back to greatness, by means of a spiritual - and adventurous - quest for Ea's Grail: the Lightstone. His name is Valashu Elahad, and he is destined to become King. Blessed (or cursed?) with an empathy for all living things, he will lead his people into the lands of Morjin, into the heart of darkness, wielding a magical sword called Alkadadur, there to recover the mythical Lightstone and return in triumph with his prize. But Morjin is not to be vanquished so easily...… (mere) |

Information fra den hollandske Almen Viden. Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. Ik zou de koude adem van al diegenen die me waren voorgegaan, door me heen laten stromen; ik zou mijn vurige dromen dromen en mijn belofte uitspreken ten overstaan van de sterren: dat de duisternis zou worden bedwongen, dat de mens zich zou verheffen op vleugels van licht, dat de Lichtsteen ooit zou worden teruggebracht naar dat stralende, lichtende oord waar hij zijn oorsprong had.

I couldn't make it past the second (very wordy) book in the series. It's possible that after the near-endless series of crises that characterize the story to that point things ease up and don't wallow endlessly in melodrama, but I was pretty disheartened and disinclined to put any more effort into the series. If you like Terry Brooks and David Eddings, you may enjoy this, but fans of action may be put off by the interior nature of some of the characters, and fans of Zindell's more successful works may well be put off by the overwrought black and white nature of what's on offer here.
