The premise was fun, but I'm not compelled to see where the story goes. ( ) This started out with a very interesting concept. A sort of artificial world/planet/ringworld is inhabited by normal humans, some who can control The Flux. Those that do are effectively wizards and wield great power, but not always to good purpose, and perhaps the Flux itself is not a good thing. This starts out as as sort of sci-fi/fantasy cross, with a sort of sword and sorcery feel, but eventually turns a little strange, as most of Chalker's books do. Actually, it gets strange pretty fast! I think Chalker's point was to build up an artificial society that was overly controlling the population to bring order (Ringworld meets 1984 meets Amber) and then work to bring it down and build a better one, but it just got too weird too fast. I really enjoyed this book for the most part and thought it was very interesting. It showed, through use of an "anchor" (or town) in the middle of a magical "flux" of power, the flaws of creating a perfect utopian society in which everyone contributed. At the end of the book though, I was a little dissapointed. It seemed like Chalker was rushed at the end and stopped it very abruptly and anti-climactically. Also, I did not like the fact that the main character, at the end of the book, recreates the same horribly prude, strict society she was escaping from in the beginning. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Cassie did not feel the soul rider enter her body...but suddenly she knew that Anchor was corrupt, and that, far from being a formless void from which could issue only mutant changelings and evil wizards, Flux was the source of Anchor's very existence. The price of her new knowledge is exile, yet Cassie and the Rider of her soul are the only hope for the redemption of both Flux and Anchor. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
