   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  AaronCook | May 12, 2016 |   I would have enjoyed these a lot more if the sigils didn't drive the plot, despite being inanimate objects that shouldn't drive a story. I also would have enjoyed it more if the characters weren't all so flawed. (  ) Karlstar | Mar 11, 2011 |  ) lithicbee | Feb 20, 2010 | Yeah, not so much. I think I am going to have to conclude that while Julian May's ability to build worlds is pretty impressive, her ability to tell stories is, well, less so. Whether the former is sufficient to coax people into reading books that may leave them cringing at ham-handed storytelling techniques from time to time is, really, up to them. Anyway. This book has all the flaws of the first two, in that Key Plot Points are mused over at great length and repeatedly spelled out by multiple viewpoint characters, just in case the reader was too stupid to pick up on them the first four or five times. Also, it does not end, it just stops, and then a half-assed epilogue attempts to quickly baste down the flopping loose ends. Actually, I'm really not going to go into the book at length, because it's just depressing. It's a pretty nifty world, with an awesomely convoluted magic system, full of characters who would potentially be interesting if we could just get to know them - and she missed the boat entirely on making me give a crap about any of it. Well done, Ms. May. You have again succeeded in inspiring the sense of "enh" I had upon completion of the Pliocene Exile. I think she needs to get herself a decent co-author. ( http://weblog.siliconcerebrate.com/zenos-library/2008/01/sorcerers-moon-julian-m... ) libraryofus | Jan 24, 2008 | With badly explained plot devices, a total disregard of probability, and a final fifty page section that brings a sweeping, multi threaded narrative to a grinding halt in order to tie up everything neatly in time for tea, Sorcerer's Moon is a disappointment. Which is a shame, given that we know May is capable of much more. New readers are advised to start with 'The Many Coloured Land', or even the co-written Trillium series. Those who've read the first two volumes of the trilogy might as well read this one, but need to temper their expectations. (  ) MisterJJones | Oct 25, 2007 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

This is the stunning conclusion to a powerful epic fantasy from the worldwide best-selling author of the Saga of the Pliocene Exile. For sixteen years, King Conrig Ironcrown has ruled High Blenholme, battling both to preserve the sovereignty he ruthlessly established over the four provinces of the island kingdom and to repel the invading Salka monsters that threaten them all. His hope for the future is his heir, Prince Orrion, whose betrothal to a princess of the province of Didion should assure the future peace of High Blenholme. But Orrion has no interest in the girl, and is determined to marry instead his childhood sweetheart, Lady Nyla. Orrion's madcap twin, Corodon, dreams up a scheme to keep Orry and Nyla together by asking the supernatural Beaconfolk, who appear as lights in the sky, for a magical intercession. The twins are unaware that the Beaconfolk are fighting their own battle with others of their kind; to them all humans, even princes, are but pawns to be used in their own conflict. Their granting of Orrion's wish comes in a manner the twins far from expected, and precipitates chaotic infighting amongst the folk of High Blenholme.As battles rage both on the ground and in the sky, the only hopes for peace can be found deep in the King's murky past. His former spy, Deveron Austrey, has secret magical powers and no love for the Beaconfolk. And while many of his subjects no longer remember the King's first wife, Maudrayne, she has never forgotten that her son is the true heir to the throne of High Blenholme.

All the characters from the previous books return including Conrig, Beynor, Ullanoth and Maudrayne and there is an ever increasing web of plots and intrigue as the story builds to its resolution.
I really like the way Julian May writes. It isn't always highly paced but there is an underlying gentleness and humour that makes this series standout for me in comparison to many other fantasy works. From the some of the other reviews this trilogy isn't to everyone's taste but I certainly recommend trying it. (
