A magic tree and a networked artificial intelligence have sex to save humanity, and it's sort of amusing. ( ) I'm not going to finish this book. I started back in February and I've picked it up multiple times since then but just can't seem to get past the 55/60% point. Anders writing style is solid, but the plot is all over the place and the characters seem very distant to me. I really enjoyed the first couple chapters (there was a real Terry Pratchett-y feel throughout them) but then all my interest was lost. It's been over three years since I've started a book and haven't finished it, so that says something for me. I'd be tempted to pick up something else by Anders and try reading it, but this particular novel just isn't for me. Honestly, I'd rather just set this aside indefinitely and focus on reading the books I'm more interested in. I'm rating this book on this 60% or so that I read of it. Growing up novel, trying to combine two opposite aspects (science/magic, and to a lesser extend male/female) in a captivating story involving revolving around how to save the world, or risk completely destroying it. In the far future it might be a good representation of the fears, hopes and way of behavior of nowadays younger generation. This was all over the place. At first it seemed like a book for kids and I was wondering if I missed the info that this was a YA book but eventually that shifted and I wasn't sure what it was. It turned into a weird and confusing story about super smart people with unusual talents in a strange and unpleasant near future. There was a thread of romance that was the connective tissue for everything. Parts of this section I liked a lot. Parts of it I founds totally confusing. Overall I liked it but wished that I liked it a lot more than I did. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

When Patricia Delfine was six years old, a wounded bird led her deep into the forest to the Parliament of Birds, where she met the Great Tree and was asked a question that would determine the course of her life. When Laurence Armstead was in grade school, he cobbled together a wristwatch-sized device that could send its wearer two seconds into the future. When Patricia and Laurence first met in high school, they didn't understand one another at all. But as time went on, they kept bumping into one another's lives. Now they're both grown up, and the planet is falling apart around them. Laurence is an engineering genius who's working with a group that aims to avert catastrophic breakdown through technological intervention into the changing global climate. Patricia is a graduate of Eltisley Maze, the hidden academy for the world's magically gifted, and works with a small band of other magicians to secretly repair the world's every-growing ailments. Neither Laurence nor Patricia can keep pace with the speed at which things fall apart. But something bigger than either of them, something begun deep in their childhoods, is determined to bring them together. And will. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
