Lynne Kositsky’s science fiction novel begins with a confusing and unnecessary near-speak to which the reader must acclimate before he or she can orient himself/herself to the plot. For instance, flutterer = bird, Icer = winter, and lugger = shoe. Once the reader stumbles through this near-speak that does little to add to the story, a similarly weak plotline presents itself. Arien is left alone on a settlement of Kondar called Katannya after her parents are tragically killed. Due to the patriarchal nature of the societies, she must be taken in, and is, by the Chief Seer of Vor, Yaddair. What follows is a perplexing mishmash of “plagues,” such as Obscurans, bat-like creatures, falling from the sky, and our heroine Arien rising above it all with hopes to reunite with her love Radol. Perhaps one to miss except for the most rabid science fiction fans. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Arien holds the key to healing her planet. Planet Kondar has a light side that faces the sun and a dark side in eternal night. Lightsiders have never met those on Darkside, known as Oscura. Arien lives in Kattannya on Lightside. When her parents fall through thin ice and drown, she is sold in the marketplace. The chief seer of Vor, Yaddair, purchases her. Vor is very close to Edge, a grey wall of fog that divides Lightside from Oscura. The Oscurans are suffering from a deadly plague and some fly into Vor, bringing the disease with them. How will the Vorians cure it? And what will happen to Arien? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Overall, I thought this book was a bust. The author tried way too hard to come up with terminology to describe common things i.e. trekken for a trip. castrel for castle, It just became annoying after a while. She would then name things, without really describing them to us. Are drogs supposed to be dogs? Are we supposed to make that assumption. Most of the characters didn't seem realistic and their personalities seemed to conflict with their actions. I think the author just threw a bunch of stuff out there without rhyme or reason. Explanations or descriptions would have been nice. ( )
