( ) This is a more interior book than the first volume but the series does continue to visit territories not often covered in Fantasy. Tristen is a tortured hero, and Cherryh's take on him is intelligent. What does a creature not sure of its prior existence, or even the reason for that existence, think about? The usual fantasy book tries not to visit the interface between magic and religion, often left safely vague, but CJC brings it out. I'm up for the next three volumes at this point. no reviews | add a review
Belongs to Series
Tristen is both more and less than a man. A summoning, a shaping, he was brought to life by a wizard, to serve a king yet to be crowned. Now the wizard is dead: a united Ylesuin, and a peace this land has never known. Cefwyn needs his only friend, this young man of mysterious origins who is more brother than vassal. He relies on Tristen, and trusts him though he knows not why, as he plans the war that will bring his dream to pass...or bring ruin upon them all. The eagerly awaited sequel to her acclaimed Fortress in the Eye of Time, C.J. Cherryh's newest high fantasy triumph is an epic saga of destiny and intrigue in a magical world as wondrous, and as real, as our own. No library descriptions found. |
