Definitely looking forward to her sequel ( ) Mixed emotions. As I love everything connected to mythologies and legends very much, I had high hopes for the "Black Sun" - with all that pre-Colombian background and stuff. And it delivered, it really did! The worldbuilding is magnificent, very fresh, and unique (although somehow, especially in the beginning parallels with Japanese culture and mythology came into my mind - which is not a bad thing :D), characters are fun and relatable. And I'm a huge fan of crows, so the book was a treat indeed. Two 'buts'. The first and smaller one was the ending, which was really abrupt and in the middle of the action - yes, I know that Tolkien and Martin and million others are done it before, but it was still maddening. Indeed, mostly because I was enjoying the book so much, I admit. The second 'but' is bigger. it's one of the four main characters, Sun Priest Naranpa. She's so annoyingly, maddeningly stupid. And it's not believable, at least I do not believe it to be possible. If a young woman from a really low background grows up in the temple from a early age and rises to the top of the hierarchy, she can't be so ignorant of all intrigues going on, especially if the head of the temple, the Sun Preast, is also the head of the all society. Impossible. But, as I said, It's no so big a thing. Book is still good and can't wait for a sequel! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"In the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world. Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and is set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man's mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio, is a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a villain.A god will return when the earth and sky converge under the black sun in the holy city of Tova."-- No library descriptions found. |
