This would have been much better as single book and could then have lost a hundred unnecessary-ish pages. I imagine it was the publisher's wish (its happened to a few authors) and these days they may have gone with the single book as big books are the in thing. Some of the tranistions between books were a bit jarring and characters got lost/eliminated without much thought. Another chapter or two at the end would have been better for wrapping some more plot points up as well. All in all an interesting read but flawed. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Who would lay time to rest, or raise it up from its tomb?The Ancients of Days -- humans returned from a long exile in the depths of time and space and history -- brought heresy and d doubt to the artificial world of Confluence, and ignited a terrible civil war, of all the varied creatures of Confluence's ten thousand genetically manipulated bloodlines, only young Yama holds the power to end the conflict, for who ever controls him controls the myriad machines of the world. Though now a helpless captive being forged intoa weapon of horrific consequence, Yama must win the struggle to reclaim his soul, and complete his search for the true story of his origin -- a story mapped eons before his birth.

Lo scenario proposto da McAuley è intricato ed anche un po’ confuso ma spettacolare e grandioso, la narrazione è fin troppo ricca ma sempre scorrevole e ben strutturata purtroppo però a mio parere un po’ appesantita da “una eccessiva narrazione” insomma si poteva tranquillamente tagliare un bel po’ di pag. per es. di avventure marginali o nella descrizione di personaggi “terziari” o nella descrizione dei rapporti interpersonali dei personaggi principali, …
Le spiegazioni/vicende verso la conclusione sono tanto complesse quanto fantastiche, tanto intricate quanto affascinanti, confesso che mi sono un po’ perso in alcuni passaggi… cmq rimane una saga da leggere assolutamente, magari prendendo qlche appunto e/o rileggendo qlche passaggio. 😳 ( )
