The "Two Towers" of the Steelyard trilogy
11. Dezember 2009
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The second installment continues the story begun in the first. The action takes place far away from the cities of Constantinople and Damascus of the first part. Now we have Anne deep in the desert on her quest for the lost city of Miyah.
The story is fast paced and can be easily read in one sitting, indeed it's hard to put down. I love what I've read so far. I only hope the payoff is up to par.
I have one major complaint which drops my rating to 4 stars. It is sometimes difficult to follow the story. There are a number of dream/mystical experiences and it is sometimes not clear where these end and reality takes over. Also there are more than a few developments that confused me. For example why did the vizier suddenly vomit?
Physically, the book is printed on a thinner stock of paper than the first installment. The paper also is coated to give it a slick feel. I prefer the previous paper but reproduction does not seem to have suffered at all. The artwork is gorgeous. Also, the font changes to cue the reader that a language other than English is being spoken. One could have wished for a different cue as that font is not quite so easy on the eyes as the "English" font, but no big deal.
Finally, this book should not be read without reading the first installment. There is a two page summary but it really isn't adequate. I anticipate the final installment with great hopes but it's probably a year away.

Will leave Barbara Hambly's fans looking eagerly toward the next thrilling installment!

"Anne Steelyard and The Garden of Emptiness, Act II: The Gate of Dreams and Starlight" is the second volume of adventures starring Anne Steelyard, a very independent minded young woman whose is determined to break away from the social strictures of a dominating father and British society to live life on her own terms. An amateur archaeologist in the years just preceding World War I, Anne is caught up in Middle Eastern intrigue as she helps the British intelligence service in finding out what the Turks and the Germans are up to, as well as trying to locate a long lost city of antiquity. A kind of female 'Lawrence of Arabia' combined with the feminine equivalent of an 'Indiana Jones', Anne's action/adventure saga is spiced with the mystical and magical. "Anne Steelyard and The Garden of Emptiness, Act II: The Gate of Dreams and Starlight" is a thoroughly entertaining graphic novel read that will leave Barbara Hambly's fans looking eagerly toward the next thrilling installment!
