Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. This story is written well. The characters are vivid. But I became really confused with all the weird names. I couldn't even figure out how to say Ja'bar. Then there was Aknon-Horheb. I like to connect with the characters I read about and characters with names like that just doesn't do it for me. ( )
"A complicated, multifaceted gem of a book that sets itself up to be something bigger." Two things are staying with me after this wonderful read. What are we willing, as individual, to do to gain some money to live our dream? and do we really want to stay in [a] culture that has made a cult of physical perfection? A brilliant story and a must read. Peters delivers another world rich with details from the ancient past, and with a compelling LGBT twist. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Lost Histories (1)
Kelemun was bought from his peasant parents to tend the inner sanctum of the house of Aknon, where wealthy men pay mountain sapphires to behold the beautiful servants of the god. Chosen to bring offerings to Caliph, Kelemun captures the fascination of the young prince Praxtor who has never been denied anything his heart desires. Ja'bar was hired to roughhouse wayward proselytes for the high priest Aknon-Horheb. In Qabbat'lee, it's good paying work for a Stripeling, a jungle savage in the eyes of the city natives, and if he's stingy and stays out of trouble, it will buy him a plot of river land. But the splendor of Qabbat'lee is a mirage disguising a grotesquerie of corruption. When Kelemun and Ja'bar's threads of fate entwine on a night of chilling betrayal, their only hope for redemption and survival may lie in one another. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
