I seem to have front-loaded my year with sci-fi so I was not that excited to start this. But the writing is quality, there's good characterization and world-building, and a commentary on politics and colonization. I also read it very much in the context of its time and the mindset of the teen who loved it. ( ) primele 2 treimi, 4/5: curge foarte lejer, lumea e construită destul de complex (deși prezentată naiv, școlăresc), fundalul cultural interesant, însă personajele-s banale și unidimensionale. Ultima treime, 2/5: totul devine un teatru de marionete unde indivizii acționează șablonard și infantil doar pentru că exact așa trebuie ca să i se lege autoarei ițele, iar lungeala fără rost e enormă și plictisitoare. Medie: 3/5 Cum o fi câștigat Hugo? Oare chiar nu au contra-candidat decât porcării? Arienrhod: Tan hermosa como vieja, gobierna desde hace ciento cincuenta años Tiamat, un lejano mundo unido al Imperio Galáctico solamente por la Puerta Estelar. Pero la Puerta Estelar esta a punto de cerrarse; los espacianos y su alta tecnología se marcharán del planeta, y la preponderancia de los invernales dará paso a la de los estivales en todo el mundo. El reinado de Arienrhod, y su vida artificialmente prolongada gracias a las matanzas de los mers, terminará. Luna: El clon secreto de la reina, la llave de su supervivencia. Una muchacha criada y educada por el semicivilizado pueblo estival, ignorante de su herencia, pero irresistiblemente atraída a cumplir con su destino: desafiar a la reina, reinar sobre el futuro...., y ganar el cuerpo y el alma del único hombre predestinado a amarlas a ambas. Engrossing and well-written science fiction with fantasy elements that takes place in an imaginative and sprawling universe. I'm glad there are more books in the series as the setting is so interesting that I'm not ready to leave it yet! Due to the expanse of the plot, the character development does leave a bit to be desired but it didn't detract at all from my enjoyment of the story. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The imperious Winter colonists have ruled the planet Tiamat for 150 years, deriving wealth from the slaughter of the sea mers. But soon the galactic stargate will close, isolating Tiamat, and the 150-year reign of the Summer primitives will begin. All is not lost if Arienrhod, the ageless, corrupt Snow Queen, can destroy destiny with an act of genocide. Arienrhod is not without competition as Moon, a young Summer-tribe sibyl, and the nemesis of the Snow Queen, battles to break a conspiracy that spans space.Copyright © Libri GmbH.
