   hypatian_kat to-read (223) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   ) sibylline | May 29, 2018 |   ) quondame | May 13, 2018 |  ) BookstoogeLT | Dec 10, 2016 | I got this through interlibrary loan, and thought it was #5 - but it's #6. However, I didn't actually notice that I missed one until I was done. (Yes, there were a few mystifying bits - but Hodgell's writing tends toward those.) Jame is still a randon cadet, establishing her leadership and demanding respect in a difficult situation. I actually thought this one flowed a lot more smoothly than 'To Ride a Rathorn.' The main theme here is the one referred to in the title: is it more honorable to show loyalty, upholding your vows and your position - or is it more honorable to do what one believes is the correct thing? ( ) AltheaAnn | Feb 9, 2016 | And this is minor in the way of things, but I hate -hate hate hate- the cover art Baen had done for these books. It doesn't encapsulate the series well at all, and I actually feel a little alienated by it. If I were new to the series, I wouldn't have picked up this book. Honestly I would rather have her run around on the cover naked, since that would at least be in character for her. It would be awesome if she could actually be mistaken for her slender, cis-bodied brother, which is a recurring plot point throughout the books.

The sequel to Bound in Blood and exciting sixth entry in the Godstalker Chronicles by epic fantasy world-builder extraordinaire, P.C. Hodgell. A droll heroine born to one day battle a world-destroying god fights her way through deadly plots and challenges at a warrior's academy to graduate and move forward to her destiny. The sequel to Bound in Blood and exciting sixth entry in the Godstalker Chronicles by epic fantasy world-builder extraordinaire, P.C. Hodgell. Jame is one of the last of the Kencyrath line, born to battle a world-destroying Lord of Darkness and resuscitate her ancestral heritage. Jame's youth was spent hard and low in a desert wasteland. Now she has discovered her past and her heritage as Highborn--and, with it, the power to call souls out of their bodies and slay the occasional god or two (as well as to resurrect them). First, though, Jame must survive the politics and dangers of haunted TentirCollege, a school for warriors where she's a student. At Tentir, Jame saves a young protégé from possession by a powerful, evil soul in search of a body, while combating jealous students who see her as a danger to their ambition for power and want her expelled--and blinded and dead, in the bargain! Then, just as graduation approaches, Jame's exemption from the sacred laws of the tribe of her youth expires and she is expected to wed immediately, plus take on a family. To make matters worse, she's challenged to a mounted combat duel to decide who is Tentir "top gun"--a competition she must win to graduate. It's trial by fire, as Jame moves closer to a magnificent destiny she both fears--and knows she must face. About P.C. Hodgell's Kyncyrath Series: "P.C. Hodgell writes the most strikingly weird and wonderful stories in epic fantasy today."--Charles Stross "Hodgell has crafted an...intricate fantasy with humor, tragedy, and a capable and charming female hero."--Library Journal No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
