( ) http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2636061.html Probably more a reflection of my state of mind than the quality of the writing, but I've given up on this not quite half way through when I realised I had completely lost track of the characters and their motivations. Some excellent sex (in the book! in the book!) kept my attention for slightly longer than might otherwise have been the case. A bit of a slog for me, again I think it's a mismatch between reader and book. This is firmly a new weird book, suitable for fans of China Mieville. In a city where women are in charge, in a world without a name where in general women have the upper hand, there is a family. Tralane Huntingore is the mother, renowned as a scientist she is the heiress of an ancient but defunct and broke line of mages, she has two daughters, both different from each other and both with paths of their own. There's a war and the strange and alien Karoo are involved and things are going badly. The three women of this family are going to be pivots in the future of the world. I still don't know what to think about this, strange and beautiful but not me. The characters didn't quite gel with me and I didn't really care who lived and who died, there is scope for another book in this series and I might look it up but overall it was just a slog sometimes to get to the end. This one is a flight of fancy and you may or may not hit turbulence along the way. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
