![]() ![]() Perhaps it is that she only reveals what is absolutely necessary and the characters we think we know can so easily surprise us. ![]() I don't understand how so many authors can write in 1st person and still fail to create characters that interest me as much as Megan Whalen Turner does so easily in her 3rd person perspective. Am I starting to waffle? That's because I am in love with this series is this how Romeo felt? "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." Okay, all right, I'm stopping before it gets even weirder. I can imagine Attolia by the coast and picture the mountains running through this world that forge geographical, political and cultural boundaries. There is no map provided in these books (at least not in my editions) but the parts of the world that we have explored so far are completely imaginable to me. ![]() ![]() It's like the excitement of walking through a wardrobe into the strange land of Narnia and not knowing what's around every corner, but needing to find out. They don't say how this intricate fantasy world pulls you in with it's politics, it's culture and it's superstitions. and yep, this was amazing! I mean, what do you say that actually means anything? I could ramble on about fantastic writing, brilliant characters, excellent plot, this would all be true but the words are so empty and don't convey what I love about this series. It's weird how I find the most difficult books to review are those that I knew were going to be amazing. ![]()
