After a first volume somewhat lacking in drive and direction, The Fionavar Tapestry comes out of the gate swinging in the second, capitalizing majorly on all the set up the first book has provided. A great and powerful read, with Kay's signature ability to merge depth of character with enormity of situation on full display. ( ) Nuestros cinco protagonistas deben hacer de nuevo la travesía desde su mundo hasta Fionavar para desempeñar sus respectivos papeles: Kimberly perturbará a los muertos en su reposo y llevará a los vivos a su destino; Dave Martyniuk portará el Cuerno y ocupará su puesto de combate en la Llanura, entre los dalreis; Paul Schafer, el Señor del Árbol del Verano, entretejerá una vez más el hilo esplendoroso de su vida en el tapiz; Jennifer Lowel se convertirá en protagonista de un destino atemporal; y Kevin Laine descubrirá por fin que su misión en la lucha es salvar del Desenmarañador a los mundos del Tejedor. This one I liked better than it's predecessor. The beginning was rough and really had nothing more than tidying up loose ends from the last, creating a time line jump, and then getting everyone back where they had to be. I still find myself only interested at all in two of The Five, Paul and then Jennifer, but I am massively in love and rapt with a whole lot of the secondary characters and large swags of certain Finoavar races. I do feel that the first book portrayed the Evil vs. Good sides more clearly and evenly, while this one had a whole lot on what was happening on The Good Guy's Side. There's a whole lot of loose ends in this one. Where the first book could stand alone, so much is left unattended to, or pushed to the side, that I feel I wanted to see more of, whether person or place or event or happening. And certain other things happens so fast looking back I wonder if they were supposed to have mattered more to me. Of course, you know I loved it when they brought Arthurian Legends into it. (Finally. Something to cling to hard until Ysabelle.) I really, really like what they are doing with that legend here, how it blurs, how everyone loves everyone, and hopefully book three won't have me eating these words. The follow-up to The Summer Tree continues the weaving begun so beautifully in the first book, and indeed soothes some (not all) of the concerns at the portal-world trappings of the book by connecting the "real world" to Fionavar more directly, thus offering some stronger reasons behind the transport of the five characters. This book also cranks the heartbreak up, as the pain of the first book is bound tighter into the weave, and the losses become more permanent, and more unexpected. There is real pain here, but Kay makes sure to leaven it with love and joy, and above all with striving against a Darkness that seems beyond defeat. A worthy sequel, indeed.
Ce deuxième livre de la saga a les mêmes qualités... et les mêmes défauts. Mais on retrouve effectivement une poésie à la Tolkien, qui, si elle est parfois trop appuyée, se révèle assez intéressante. Et l'arrivée d'Arthur et de Lancelot ajoute une nouvelle dimension à l'histoire... Ce sont d'ailleurs les personnages les plus intéressants, avec le Prince Diarmuid et sa dulcinée... Auteur canadien, Guy Gavriel Kay aime les mythes, la fantasy et l'histoire médiévale. Sa merveilleuse Chanson d'Arbonne en a fait rêver plus d'un avec son mélange de magie et d'amour courtois. Avec cette série, il se lance plus dans la fantasy que dans son pendant historico-merveilleux, avec délice et humour. Cinq jeunes gens d'une petite ville américaine reçoivent la visite d'un étrange personnage (et même de plusieurs) qui les entraîne dans un monde dont ils n'ont pas la moindre idée, monde de magie et de contes où leur présence est nécessaire à l'avènement d'un nouveau roi. Un par un, nos cinq contemporains se découvrent un destin étrange qui les éloigne encore plus de leur histoire et de leur monde. La tapisserie du monde est complexe, alignant côte à côte des histoires et des univers que tout sépare, que rien ne lie mais qui pourtant s'interpénètrent et se rejoignent par intervalles. Dans cette complexité, les personnalités de nos jeunes gens vont s'affirmer, révélant des traits qu'on n'aurait pu imaginer, leur ouvrant des perspectives inconnues en nous faisant rêver. Les différents peuples de ce monde étrange qui semble être au centre du nôtre, sont attachants et pourtant différents... Une fantasy mythologique et médiévale rare.
