Bu Thompson'un komik (kendisi değil) değil, 2004, Fransa, Fas, İsviçre ve çevresinde gerçekleştirdiği 2004 ücretli tanıtım turu çizimleri ile onun dergisi ("carnet" = defter). Sevdim, ama Thompson Portland, Oregon'da evde olmayı tercih ettiğini her ifade ettiğinde sinirli hissetmemize yardımcı olamadım. Ciddi anlamda?
I love this book. Written in diary form it covers the life of Beka Cooper as she starts working for the Provost's Guard. Set in Pierce's Tortall universe, it is set hundreds of years before her other trilogy's. It provides an interesting contrast, with glimpses of what must surely be the ancestors of some of our favourite characters in the previous books. It also sheds more light on the underworld of the Court of the Rogue and is an interesting insight into other previous parts of the Tortallian world previously unseen. The next book comes out Mid-April 2009 after a 2 and a half year gap - I can't wait. Highly recommend you go out and read all Pierce's books if you haven't already - they are fantastically detailed and beautifully written.
The diction well represented the mix of cultures present in the Hawaiian islands and made the read very quick and vivid...despite the fact that the protagonist was Filipino.
