Melekler ile çalışmaya başlamak için harika bir kitap!
I loved this book. The reviews said it might be a let-down after Pillars of the Earth but it wasn't, at all. You know how when you're reading a book and you get so invested in the characters that even as you're living your life, you walk around in a fog, waiting to get back to the book? That's how I feel. I spent two weeks reading Pillars and World, over 1800 pages. I stayed up way too late and maneuvered my way through middle school hallways reading. I literally could not put it down. And now it's finished. They both are. I feel a little lost. On to the next, right? Goodbye, Caris and Merthin.
Can I say...the best of the Oz books? Like everything Baum it is surreal and dark, sweet and hideous, funny and horrifying.
One of my favourite fantasy books of all time and a book that truly deserved to be considered for mainstream writing awards other than the richly deserved Hugo it did win. I am a fan of any genre book that exceeds the perceived limitations of its origins and novelists like Margaret Atwood and Michael Chabon have shown how this can be done and how rich and satisfying the fiction can be. Not that this is revelatory given such classics as '1984' and 'Brave New World' but those dystopian visions were cautionary and analogous whereas the strength of this for me was in its beautiful descriptions of a magical Victorian world and the Faerie world that frequently interconnected with it.
Was he lurking in the corners somewhere in our house? Hysterical and depressing.
