Alberich backstory: How he met his Companion, accepted his exile, and helped win the war against the mercenaries that made Selenay a queen. Despite the fighting, it seems cozy in the way that narrating the backstories of existing characters in a big series often does. ( ) I like the books Mercedes Lackey writes, she is good at creating a believable world and people to populate it. While her writing is not the strongest I do find it engaging ang and enjoyable. I like a series I can live inside of and her books are ones that have characters I feel invested in and a world I believe could exist. I read this book as an assignment for a class in writing Fantasy and Science Fiction. We were guided in reading it critically, not so much with regard to the prose as to the plot, pacing, and character development. At first I didn't like it but it became more appealing the further that got into it. The hero's dilemma is thought-provoking and he is an engaging character. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Alberich had spent most of his youth in the Karsite military schools training to be an officer. As the son of an impoverished mother, he had no other career choice open to him. And Alberich had risen in the ranks with almost unnatural speed. He developed expertise with many weapons and excelled in academic subjects with an ease that was the envy of his classmates. But in fact, the reclusive Alberich studied long and hard, pushing himself ruthlessly. In battle, Alberich had always had a sort of ??sixth sense? about things which were about to happen??when and from where the enemy would attack. Instinctively, he his this ability, for the Sunpriests kept careful watch for anyone exhibiting ??demon powers? which were the hallmark of Karse??s greatest enemy??the witch-nation of Valdemar. Those they caught were ??cleansed? in the fires of Vkandis Sunlord. Both Alberich??s skill and secret served him well in the army of Karse, and when Alberich became one of Karse??s youngest captains, he received a special gift??a powerful white stallion ??liberated? from the enemy. But this honor was merely a distraction, for the Sunpriests had laid a trap which even Alberich??s strange foresight could not predict? Saved from burning as a witch when this odd white stallion braved flames and carried him over the border into Valdemar, he was healed by the same enemies he had been taught to hate his entire life. Though he knew he could never again return to his home, Alberich also knew he could never truly become a Valdemaran. How could Alberich remain true to his own people and still retain his honor w No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
