Master of Heathcrest Hall by Galen Beckett in Reviews of Early Reviewers Books (Marzo 2012)

Recensioni

As much as I liked the premise of this book (and I really, really did - it reminded me a little of War Of The Flowers, which is one of my favorite fantasy novels), I struggled with Beyond The Pale. I found the writing interesting in parts, but too flowery and description heavy to hold my interest for long, so I ended up taking frequent breaks as I read. I also thought the dialogue was stilted and unbelievable, not at all like "real" people speak. I found the main characters irritating, particularly Travis who was so passive and frightened of everything that I just couldn't take him seriously as a supposed hero. The author had some interesting ideas, and the book is fluffy and light...but even so I didn't find this to be a fast read at all. I will not be continuing with this series.… (altro)

An attempt at Jane Austen with magic, I think. The worldbuilding felt a bit off. For instance, day and night lengths vary but how is that possible and why is it important?
Overall interesting but not wholly satisfying.

Leuk om te lezen hoe Tanis opgroeit tussen de Elfen, vaardigheden leert ontwikkelen, onderdrukt wordt door Porthios en Gilthanas, hoe Laurana als klein meisje en later verliefd op 'm wordt, hoe hij valselijk beschuldigd wordt van diverse dingen, enz...

Ook de avonturen met Flint Fireforge, die Tanis helpt om open te bloeien, zijn goed geschreven en geven een goed beeld weer van hoe het eraan toeging.

Wanneer Eld Ailea dan vermoord wordt, wordt het helemaal spannend om de moordenaar te vinden. Mark Anthony en Ellen Porath zijn er in geslaagd ook mij op het verkeerde spoor - Lord Tyresian - te zetten, hoewel de connectie Eld Ailea - Tyresian mij niet echt duidelijk was. Eigenlijk had ik het moeten doorhebben toen Miral Laurana probeerde te overtuigen van z'n liefde. Nuja, 'liefde'.

Toen op het laatste, tijdens de Kentommen-viering van Porthios, wanneer Tanis Gilthanas verving om de moord te verhinderen, ontmaskerde Miral zichzelf en stormde Flint op het juiste moment binnen om hem volledig te ontmaskeren: Arelas, de doodgewaande broer van Solostaran (Speaker Of The Suns).

Kortom, m.i.: Zeer aangenaam en spanned om lezen.
