The story of his search, and discovery, and rebuilding, of his reconnecting with the world, is kind of wonderful. The part that wasn't quite as wonderful was the romance. No, I don't care that it was m/m – I would have been at least as annoyed if Tarn had gone out and found himself a woman. It just got a little old. They have a few minutes alone; they make a lot of noise; they hear about it, or talk about it, or get significant looks. Gard, who appears to be a beautiful young man, and is known to be a desert spirit, but is more powerful than he looks or than people know … is often petulant. "'Nobody respects me,' Gard complained" – and this happens an awful lot. It gets a little old. My only problem with the m/m romance as such is that pretty much anyone in the book who found any romance found it with someone of the same gender. It's something that I've seen in several m/m novels, straight people being next to nonexistent; if Tarn is looking to rebuild his clan, he probably won't get far with only gay couples without adopting a whole orphanage. Just sayin'. This was a nice moment of real-life insight relating to the hijab: "We wore this before the Savattin came. …There are some things only a lover or the eyes of God should see. The Savattin made it a matter of shame and power. It was beautiful once." And I loved this: “You must hate the Shadow.” “No,” Raif said, surprising him. “It acts in obedience to its nature. There is a place for evil in the world. How else could we know that God is good? Those I hate are the men who choose to follow it. The Dual God shows us the way to live righteously. He who chooses to give in to the temptations of evil is more to blame than the tempter itself.” All in all, it's a very entertaining story, a pretty epic tale of good versus evil, of loyalty and love and rebuilding. I feel a bit guilty I left it alone for so long. The usual disclaimer: I received this book via Netgalley for review. (  ) Stewartry | Dec 16, 2016 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Reawakening: Book One For a thousand years, since their defeat of the Shadow at Eyr, the dragons have slept under the mountains. Now their king, Tarnamell, has woken. Driven mad by loneliness, he hurls himself south until he finds and tries to claim the Alagard Desert. Unfortunately, the desert already has a guardian spirit, and he doesn't want to share. Amused by the cocky little desert spirit, Tarn retreats, planning to return in human form. When his caravan enters the desert, however, Alagard is missing. Rumors fly of a dark power, and soon Tarn's caravan encounters the living dead and an amnesiac mage called Gard. Forced to take refuge in the Court of Shells, a legendary fortress in the heart of the desert, Tarn, Gard, and their allies decide to seek out the Shadow before it destroys the desert. But to confront the Shadow, Tarn needs to gather his strength. A dragon's power depends on the love and loyalty of his human hoard, but Tarn's original hoard has been dead for centuries. Before he can face his most ancient enemy, he must win the trust of new followers and the heart of a cynical desert spirit. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
