Both novellas were unique and different. The first was written in present tense and worked well considering how hard it is for writers to write good stories in present tense. I rather like the characters who narrated, Black in the first and Mayhew the Hieronomer in the second. While the second novella was longer to build tension and reinforce that sense of impending doom, that length didn't get in the way of the story. It actually enhanced it because the sense of impending doom wasn't resolved or skipped over to get to the action. Liked this book much more than his latest release that I read a couple weeks ago. This was much more reminiscent of "A Man Rides Through". Would like to see something that would amount to a prequel to give some background to the creation of Black. And it seems that there is endless possibilities for His continuing adventures. Liked this book much more than his latest release that I read a couple weeks ago.

"Two new, original novellas. Donaldson's first publication since finishing the Thomas Covenant series, are a sure cause for celebration among his many fans. In The King's Justice, a stranger dressed in black arrives in the village of Settle's Crossways, following the scent of a terrible crime. He even calls himself "Black," though almost certainly that is not his name. The people of the village discover that they have a surprising urge to cooperate with this stranger, though the desire of inhabitants of quiet villages to cooperate with strangers is not common in their land, or most lands. But this gift will not save him as he discovers the nature of the evil concealed in Settle's Crossways. The "Augur's Gambit" is a daring plan created by Mayhew Gordian, Hieronomer to the Queen of Indemnie, a plan to save his Queen and his country. Gordian is a reader of entrails. In the bodies of chickens, lambs, piglets, and one stillborn infant he sees the same message: the island nation of Indemnie is doomed. But even in the face of certain destruction a man may fight, and the Hieronomer is utterly loyal to his beautiful Queen--and to her only daughter. The "Augur's Gambit" is his mad attempt to save a kingdom"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
