Dropping my rating on this one from a 4 to a 2, and getting rid of the physical copy of the book. I remember enjoying the story. But it's been 10+ years since I read this book last, and literally the only detail I can remember about it (beyond the Swan Lake retelling thing which is on the blurb so I'm not sure if I'm remembering it from the book itself or from the blurb) is that the book's hero rapes a girl who then commits suicide because of it. And while at the time I was able to move past that because "he was sorry afterward" I'm no longer willing to let that slide. ( ) Long before she began the Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms for Harlequin's Luna label, Lackey had begun to explore the fun to be had in retelling some of the world's classic fairy tales - in many ways, the world's original expressions of Sci Fi and Fantasy - from a more modern point of view. Although this is not a new technique from an author, by any means, and although Black Swan (like Firebird) is not quite as tongue-in-cheek or just plain cheeky as some of the Five Hundred Kingdom books, it nonetheless is a fun retelling of a classic, like meeting an old friend and taking an opportunity to reminisce. Fun brain candy. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: After his wife's untimely death, a powerful sorcerer dedicates his life to seeking revenge against all womankind. He turns his captives into beautiful swansâ??who briefly regain human form by the fleeting light of the moon. Only Odette, noblest of the enchanted flock, has the courage to confront her captor. But can she gain the allies she needs to free herself and the other swan-maidens from their magical slavery? A monumental tale of loyalty and betrayal, of magic good and evil, of love both carnal and pure, and of the duality of human nature, The Black Swan is a rich tapestry which is sure to become an all-time masterpiece of fantasy.
