Lauren Connelly laurenmariec — Holy cow, do I love these books! All the twists and turns of this book (finally finding out what made Will such a jerk--poor guy, for example) and then the ending! Please Cassandra Clare, stop punching me directly in the heart with every book you write. It's really not very nice of you.

Vincent Vachon vincentv — On the planet of Mahali, where the ancient talent for water-witching has been replaced by a computerized system, two characters collide: Deza, daughter of a con artist whose plan has gone horribly awry; and Radi, on a royally appointed mission to deal with the threat of the Tycoon. The story incorporates romance, adventure and intrigue on a river-ride to what seems like a no-win conclusion. The feel of this story is intriguing: it's either a science fiction story with fantasy trappings, or a fantasy story with science fiction trappings, depending on how you look at it. Because of this, despite the fact the book is almost thirty years old, the science in it wears very well. The only part that made me burst out laughing was a bit about the lack of communications between the Tycoon's compound and the City due to the lack of landlines. Oh really? However, for me, the emotional dimensions weren't always written fully and convincingly. In particular, I didn't buy into the love story. In a story that was otherwise fairly deep into the character's heads, much of the chemistry was introduced through actions without support of thought or emotion. Now, I hate the romance novel cliche of bashing the reader over the head with the "mysterious feelings," but this book goes too far in the other direction. In addition, I never got the impression that Radi loved Sheria (the princess he starts the story engaged to) - it read like a marriage of convenience, and I was surprised when he was upset later on. (Contributing to my confusion was the fact that Radi seemed to think nothing of sleeping with another woman. This is somewhat fitting to the time period of the setting the SF millieu mimics, but it was never explained or even mentioned, so I was left with a slightly sour puzzlement.) I'm not quite sure whether the principle development in the latter half of the story was meant to be a surprise; it was certainly obvious to me from before the character was even introduced, which leads me to believe the reader was meant to know, but who knows. The character of the father and how he is incorporated into the story as a deceased spirit is great, and his commentary throughout is a delight. This story also has one of the best one-thing-after-another sequences, as character after character barges into Deza's bedroom to speak with her. It's so tight and perfect that I put the book down at the end of the last entrance and howled. The character of Edvar (the Tycoon's son) is also a refreshing surprise. Overall, this was a solid story with some shining moments, but I felt that it lacked some depth and intensity, and I would have enjoyed the romance better if the setup had been more distinct.

Jon Garza jongarza — The cliche is true - this is an amazing book, and the rest all suck. When Herbert got it right, as he did in this first book, it was a spellbinding novel of colonization, cultural conflict, and political tension; he uses a sci-fi setting the way it should be used.

елизавета куляба elizavetakeee4 — I am not usually a fan of this genre- but I truly enjoyed this book. The story intrigued me, and I thought it was very well written. In addition, the character development and the thought process that went into character detail really was excellent. Highly suggest giving it a chance even if you aren't into Hobgoblins and such.

Brandon De _de_ontes — I resisted----I really did. I don't know why, really, because it is as everyone says: beautiful and terrible; up lifting and depressing; hopeful and hopeless. Much of it will remain with me, too. No spoilers here for the 2 of you who haven't read this book yet (you know who you are!). I'm not sure I want to rush out and see the movie, but now I can! Now I want to know what glass coated kite string looks like...and I'm ready to read A Thousand Splendid Suns!
