Orlaith & Reiko meet the Mongols and enter the dark lands to kill the King in Yellow. This is a continuation of The Sea People, and it's just as weak. Stirling is good with warstrategy, but fails with spiritual drama. It's like the dark forces never fight back and the mystical other-world just reads like Stirling was making it up as he went along. And, as the ending of a series, reads like Stirling got tired of the series and decided enough was enough--there's no cathartic conclusion--just a kind of petering out with everyone just...going home. The only thing you'd miss by not reading this book is learning who Orlaith's mother-in-law Darya is. ( ) Stirling brings the Change series to a close. It would be hard to recap much without spoiling the plot. I appreciated that he maintained the usual cadence across places and months, and with familiar characters and some new ones. It felt like another book in the series rather than the last. There was one feel-good scene at the end that would have been a bit cartoonish if we didn’t all know and like the characters so much. At the same time, this last installment went deeper than ever at revealing an underlying connection across the generations of the royalty of Montival. The Grand Finale or a pause in this series as has happened previously. A good review of past challenges and their origins, many looks back at the evolution of this complex and interesting world. The fantasy powers of the major protagonists grow as they are challenged by a nether regions foe. Similarly to the real world when these styles of dress and weaponry were in fashion; intermarriage amongst eligible royals is sought after and consummated. Enough plot hooks and unexplored lands to fuel a reintroduction at a later time. Perhaps with other authors as partners or stand-alone participants as in the Flint World of 1632 aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"S. M. Stirling presents the stunning and epic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Change series. Many years ago, when advanced technology failed and humanity found itself in a turbulent, postapocalyptic world, extraordinary men and women birthed a new society from the ashes. In this new world of emperors and kings, new leaders emerged, making the world their own. Two generations after the Change, Crown Princess Órlaith struggles to preserve the hard-won peace her father brought to Montival--the former western North America. But the Change opened many doors, and through them Powers strong and strange and terrible came, to walk once more among humankind. With her fire-forged friend and ally, Japanese Empress Reiko, Órlaith must take up her sword to stop the spread of the mad malignancy behind the Yellow Raja, who has imprisoned her brother Prince John. And from the emerging superpower of Mongolia, the Sky-Blue Wolves of the High Steppe ride once more beneath the banner of Genghis Khan--the thunder of their hooves resounding across a world in turmoil" -- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
