Recensioni

De naam van de koning di Jo Walton

Dit tweede deel had wat meer diepgang in de karakters, maar evengoed nog veel veldslagen en veel personages. En veel gekonkel tussen de diverse landen. Constant wordt van bondgenoot gewisseld, zodat niemand ooit met zekerheid kan vertrouwen op een clan die daarvoor nog een vriend was geweest en zich nu heeft aangesloten bij de vijand. Ik ben blij dat het gelezen heb. Het Arthur gehalte was niet echt hoog, vond ik.

Among Others di Jo Walton

I’m not entirely sure why this book won quite so many awards. Among Others is a YA fantasy by Welsh author Jo Walton. It is predominantly a cover-to-cover ramble about all of her favourite pre1980 sci-fi books. The main character Morwenna Phelps/ Markova is a Welsh teenager, who escapes her evil witch mother to stay with her estranged father and his three sisters in Shropshire and gets sent to boarding school. As a nerdy sci-fi reader with a cane and a limp she struggles to fit in and spends every spare moment reading and going to the library or a book club. Morwenna has magic of her own, but the subtle, plausible deniability kind. She sees fairies but they are poorly fleshed out and barely there. It almost seems as if the real story took place before the book, with her mother wanting to take over the world, and Morwenna and her twin sister Morganna fighting her with magic, ending up with Morwenna injured and her sister dead. None of this is ever explained. Maybe Mor is just an over imaginative teen dealing with her mother’s mental illness and abuse, and suffering the effects of her traumatic car accident. There is an icky moment with her father which is moved past and not dealt with. There is her boyfriend Wim, who seems to have treated his ex-girlfriends poorly, but that’s OK as they were all morons. It was an OK read but clearly designed for die-hard sci-fi buffs not really for fantasy readers.… (altro)

De koningsvrede di Jo Walton

Wat zal ik van dit boek zeggen. Ik vond het lange tijd te veel van alles. Té veel veldslagen en té veel personages (ik had graag een lijst gehad). Als er niet gevochten werd dan waren ze wel op weg naar een gevecht. Vaak heb ik gedacht om het maar op te geven, maar het ws voor mijn RL-Forumchallenge dus doorzetten maar. En toen na 3 kwart van het boek werd het in eens wel onderhoudend om te lezen. En nu zit ik enorm te twijfelen of ik deel 2 dan ook maar zal lezen om te weten hoe het afloopt.
