Is ook wel nodig als je steeds maar eventjes kunt lezen. Ik miste Alfred in dit boek, maar Zifnab is ook een geweldig karakter, zeker als hij ruzie maakt met zijn draak. Haplo krijgt steeds meer diepgang, wat het verhaal ten goede komt. Het is zo dubbel. Gevoelsmatig ben ik helemaal voor de Sartanen. Ik vind Haplo's devotie voor zijn Meester maar ongezond en hij is me te hard. En toch leef ik met hem mee, hoop ik dat hij gelukkig wordt. Maar niet als dat betekent dat zijn Meester zijn zin krijgt. Die vind ik toch echt een kwal van een vent en dat terwijl ik nog helemaal niet veel van hem weet. Nu op naar deel 3: Vuurzee. 2nd in the series. Most notably marked by the unwelcome introduction of "Fizban" from Dragonlance, who's presence is never explained, but appears to still be a god that Haplo doesn't believe in. None fo the races of these worlds have a higher power, all the religious references are to the Sartan at the time of the Sundering. Haplo visits the world of fire - four suns inside a large sphere, with the races living in dense jungle on the internal surface. It's not at all clear why this is the world of fire, as there isn't that much heat around, just enough for verdant life. Our lesser races are predominantly elven this time, but we don't get much chance to find out about their culture because the Tytans are coming. It appears the Sartan created some powerful servants who's lost their way, and are now destroying everything in their path. (Why they'd turn destructive is never explained). Haplo turns up just in time to save a few in the process of learning about the world and how it's been set up - and what the Sartan had intended it to do. The dog does little but keep him company. Fizban has inserted himself into the elven city and doesn't need to nudge Haplo much to set things going in the right direction. Much the same as the previous one already - we don't really care about the various Mensch who are again fighting between themselves. Haplo has a few more reminiscences from his time in the Labyrinth, including their bleak but still touching wedding ceremony. no reviews | add a review
On steamy Pryan, never-ending sunlight and plentiful rain have created a jungle so vast that humans and elves dwell high in the trees and only dwarves live anywhere near the ground. From the treetops the aristocratic elves sell weapons to the other races, whose incessant warfare sends a steady steam of profits and essential resources skyward. Now, generations of dissent and race hatred will not heal -- not even under the threat of annihilation at the hands of legendary Titans. Armed with little more than their wits and prophecy, an elf, a human, and a dwarf must unite to try to save the world from destruction. From the Paperback edition. No library descriptions found. |
