Just like McKillip has her own unique style, so does Russell it appears. It is definitely not for everyone and I am hesitant to read any more of his stuff. Basically, Eldrich [the mage] stops the last of the Tellerites [rogue mages who want the arts to continue] and uses tons of people to gain this end. A sad and melancholic story. Not nearly as enthralling as the Swan's War trilogy. ( ) Very nice duology/two-volume novel. At the beginning a fair amount of political intrigue, but it never turned into a mannerist fantasy.. much as I liked the courtly scenes. Or anything else, really. There was enough detail and background to make it real.And the characters reacted like people. I particularly liked the way that they weren't bloodthirsty. Most of them. Erasmus' group went to some lengths to avoid killing or seriously endangering the priest, even though they knew he was untrustworthy and dangerous. They contrasted well with the mage.And the ambiguity. Even at the end I wasn't sure who the bad guy was, or even if there was one. Too much fantasy needs to get away from the conflict of Good and Evil.The names occasionally bothered me. Flattery? Eldritch?? geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
