Su questo libro

Recensione:

This lean, sinewy, visceral narrative, set forth in extraordinarily vivid prose full of telling detail, conveys a remarkable sense of time and place, where the characters belong to the landscape and whose personalities derive naturally from it.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review. Elizabeth Bear launches a trilogy in a fantastic new world with this compelling tale...Bear creates a vivid world where wizards must sacrifice their ability to procreate in order to control magic and the sky changes to reflect the gods of the land's rulers. The strong setting and engaging characters will have readers eager for the second installment --Publishers Weekly
