In this book, we find the lead character Esen has developed, and is more interesting with than ever. It is just fun to spend time with the characters; Esen is funny, capable, and well-intentioned (but sometimes gets into scrapes). Perhaps Czerneda's strongest book to date. ( ) More and new aliens, interesting rock-tumblers and aquatic races, populate this particular book. It's almost like these books are more a vehicle for exploring new biologies and ways of thinking driven by biologies than anything else, but no, Esen and Paul are on the run again. What? Again? Yeah, well, there is a not so subtle vibe of Farscape going on, including old enemies turning into uneasy allies. A bit more interesting for me, however, is the reintroduction of a long-lost sister, the difficult dynamics there, and the full resolution. All told, the third in this series was solid, entertaining, and definitely worth the read if you're interested in a mild exploration of possible aliens mixed with adventure. Great final installment of the Webshifters trilogy. It's always a pleasure to read books where you really love the protagonist, in this case, Esen-alit-Quar, a shapeshifting web-being who is "young" (and therefore known to be impetuous and hilarious) for her species. Czerneda does a great job dividing the story between Esen's POV and other characters in the story with chapters titled "otherwhere" - this moves the story along well and helps build tension. Admittedly sometimes it gets confusing as the reader tries to keep straight who knows what - but it all works itself out in the end. The love between Esen and Paul is tangible and wonderful. I'll miss these characters now that I've finished the series. The shapeshifter Esen-alit-Quar is living a pleasant life with her Human friend Paul, the two of them working as merchants, when someone who seems to know Esen's secret destroys their home and attacks their business. Their attacker is embroiled in other intrigues as well, and it will take Esen's inside knowledge of other species to prevent an interspecies massacre. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Picco's moon was where it all began for Esen-alit-Quar, Youngest of Ersh's Web. It was here where Ersh, the Oldest, had chosen to make her home; here, too, where Esen received her early training as a shapeshifter and member of the Web. When Ersh's Web was destroyed, Esen and her human friend paul survived, and together they founded Esen's Web, a group composed initially of the two of them but one which expanded slowly to include a chosen few selected by Paul. For in their universe there were all too many species ready to destroy Esen, should they discover her true nature. Still, despite the need for concealment, life had been good to Esen and Paul. They now had well-established identities, a thriving business, and numerous friends. It seemed as though they'd finally created a safe haven for themselves. At least until they receved word that someone was mining Picco's Moon, desecrating Ersh's Mountain. Esen and Paul had no choice. They had to go to Picco's Moon and put a stop to the situation. But before they could even set out, they found themselves under attack on every front. Their carefully built haven gone, and loyal friends suddenly transformed into vengeful enemies, was there anywhere Esen and Paul could run, anyone they could to turn to for help, any way to defeat a foe they couldn't even identify?
