A really striking book about gentrification, lawyers, activists, religion, the aftermath of war, and MAGIC. ( ) It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that this book takes place chronologically in the past, compared with the other books. Once I did, and things got moving after the breakdown in negotiations, I couldn't put it down. Temoc is a really interesting character who makes choices I disagree with for reasons that I completely understand. The scene toward the end involving Caleb was brutal to read, and really added quite a bit to my understanding of his character as well, retrospectively. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"Forty years after the God Wars, Dresediel Lex bears the scars of liberation--especially in the Skittersill, a poor district still bound by the fallen gods' decaying edicts. As long as the gods' wards last, they strangle development; when they fail, demons will be loosed upon the city. The King in Red hires Elayne Kevarian of the Craft firm Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao to fix the wards, but the Skittersill's people have their own ideas. A protest rises against Elayne's work, led by Temoc, a warrior-priest turned community organizer who wants to build a peaceful future for his city, his wife, and his young son. As Elayne drags Temoc and the King in Red to the bargaining table, old wounds reopen, old gods stir in their graves, civil blood breaks to new mutiny, and profiteers circle in the desert sky. Elayne and Temoc must fight conspiracy, dark magic, and their own demons to save the peace--or failing that, to save as many people as they can"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
