What strikes me very much in this book is that the argument between the brothers regarding the humans (who have been moving to the elves' lands and threaten to displace them) read very much like those Native Americans could have had about invading white people in a historical fiction setting. And then there is Kes, the squire, who knows nothing about his own people, not even their language, and who is made aware of this during the long travels with his lord after the dragonfight. He calls him master, and it is a disturbing relationship, because it often looks like the one between a slave and his owner. I can't say if this is the author's intention or if it is the result of growing awareness of such themes among readers. ( ) This book will very much fill the bill for any Osten Ard lovers out there and fills in some of the gaps for the history of the Zida'ya early in the coming of men. Like "The Heart of What Was Lost" this is a short novel that gives deeper backstory to important characters in the newer series. Hakatri"s resurrection at the end of "Empire of Grass" left me wanting to know more about him. This book also gives more insight into his brother Ineluki, the future Storm King. This is a great book for anyone who's read the first Osten Ard trilogy, or is reading the new trilogy. There is some great background on the Sithi and the Norns in this one. As always, the characters and the setting are the true star of this book. Osten Ard is painstakingly detailed and rich and it all comes out in this book. Well written, I did not want to put it down. Really great fantasy. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:Set in the New York Times bestselling world of Osten Ard, this short novel continues the saga that inspired a generation of fantasists Pride often goes before a fall, but sometimes that prideful fall is so catastrophic that it changes history itself. Among the immortal Sithi of Osten Ard, none are more beloved and admired than the two sons of the ruling family, steady Hakatri and his proud and fiery younger brother Ineluki â?? Ineluki, who will one day become the undead Storm King. The younger brother makes a bold, terrible oath that he will destroy deadly Hidohebhi, a terrifying monster, but instead drags his brother with him into a disaster that threatens not just their family but all the Sithi â?? and perhaps all of humankind as well. Set a thousand years before the events of Williams's The Dragonbone Chair, the tale of Ineluki's tragic boast and what it brings is told by Pamon Kes, Hakatri's faithful servant. Kes is not one of the Sithi but a member of the enslaved Changeling race, and his loyalty has never before been tested. Now he must face the terrible black dragon at his master's side, then see his own life changed forever in a mere instant by Ineluki's rash, selfish pr No library descriptions found. |
