Zum fünften Stern reicht es leider nicht ganz. Dazu bleibt mir Lord Darcy zu blass und konturlos. Er ist intelligent und kann gut kombinieren - aber was noch? Die Hauptfigur steht hier nicht im Mittelpunkt, schon mehr der gute Plot und die schön gestaltete Welt. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Welcome to a world where the Plantagenet kings survived, the laws of magic were discovered and the physical sciences never pursued. In the resulting Anglo-French Empire, a detective like Lord Darcy needs more than a keen mind and an observant eye. Luckily, Darcy can call on the aid of Master Sean O'Lochlainn, forensic sorcerer. This omnibus contains all of the Lord Darcy stories as well as the only Lord Darcy novel, TOO MANY MAGICIANS, and has a new introduction by Michael Dirda. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

For those who do figure out the answer on the first page, there is plenty of fun character interaction, a bit of political maneuvering and even a touch of romance to keep the story interesting.
Magic- and world building-geeks will appreciate the well thought out magic system and the pedagogal Master Seamus who loves to explain how and why magic works to anyone who asks. Since these explanations are often important to understanding the clues to the mystery, they don't slow down the narrative too much but your mileage may vary.
All-in-all a fun read for fans of fantasy and mystery. (
