Lord of the Darkwood by Lian Hearn (Gillian Rubenstein) is the 3rd volume in her series entitled Tales of Shikanoko a fantasy set in similar country to feudal Japan. In the first two volumes, the author introduced her characters and spread them over the canvas of her work. In this, the third book, she is bringing the characters together and readying them for the final confrontation that I assume will take place in volume 4. I have been enjoying the series and thanks to having read her previous series, Tales of the Otori, I have learned not to get too attached to any one character. In book one we were concerned with the birthright of one warrior but by book three the story has expanded and we realize that all the action is based on a game of Go which the Gods are playing and the very existence of the empire relies on how the mortals perform. This author bases her fantasies on medieval Japan and revolves her story around clan rivalries and treachery over placing an imposter on the imperial throne. The players are now in place so I am looking forward to an action packed and tension filled conclusion to this series.

Crossposted at WordPress, Blogspot & Librarything by Bookstooge’s Exalted Permission Title: Lord of the Darkwood Series: The Tale of Shikanoko #3 Author: Lian Hearn Rating: 2 of 5 Stars Genre: Fantasy Pages: 241 Format: Digital Edition Synopsis: After the death of the Autumn Princess, Shikanoko retreats into himself and allows the mask and its magic to envelope him. He is retreating from his humanity and if something doesn't change, he'll become another forest spirit. The other characters all grow up. Shikanoko's sons all go their separate ways, revelling in the powers that they innately have. Lots of people doing lots of things with the years compressed into paragraphs. My Thoughts: Hearn includes a scene, non-graphic, of underage boy on boy sex. As such, I am done with this series and with Hearn as an author. ★★☆☆☆ aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieTale of Shikanoko (book 3) Est contenu dans
Suite de romans qui se situe aux sources de la série ##Le clan des Otori##. Une épopée dans le Japon médiéval où les clans rivaux, les familles, les couples s'affrontent et se déchirent. Dans ce troisième tome, après avoir mis à mort le prince abbé, Shikanoko a regagné le Bois Obscur où il entraîne les cinq garçons de dame Tora. Il s'inquiète de la disparition de la Princesse de l'Automne. Quant à Fuji, elle doit connaître qui est le vrai empereur entre Aritoma et Yoshimori. [SDM]
Un roman qui se déroule dans un univers contemplatif et poétique. Les personnages et les clans se multiplient rapidement. Il est toutefois possible de se référer à une liste des personnages et à une carte du territoire. En ce sens, le récit est complexe puisque la narration est plutôt lyrique et l'héroïsme des personnages se mêle au surnaturel. Ce troisième tome rythme les scènes d'action rapidement. Une lecture motivante et un univers aussi riche que complet. [SDM] Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I feel like I definitely missed something by not reading the previous two books, but the writing was very lovely and poetic. And I enjoyed reading the story even if I was sometimes confused about what was happening. ( )
