3.0 to 3.5 stars. Paolo Bacigalupi is one of my favorite SF writers working today and his first novel, The Windup Girl, is on my list of “All Time Favorite” books. So when I heard he was going to write a fantasy story, I was like: . . . Add to that wonderful piece of news that Paolo was going to team up and create a shared fantasy world with another of my favorite authors, Tobias Buckell, and all I could think of was… . . . . . . Well in the first of these shared world stories, Mr. Bacigalupi introduces us to a world in which magic exists but its use has been savagely curtailed as a result of the devastating effect that the use of magic has on the environment. As explained in the story, the use of magic has caused the growth and spread of a ubiquitous and fatally poisonous “bramble” that is slowly encroaching and choking off each of the cities in which magic was once a common occurrence. As a result of this deadly relationship between magic and the bramble, anyone caught using magic of any kind is immediately put to death by the “Executioners” axe. This description sets the stage for this novella and as usual Bacigalupi’s prose is excellent and his characters are engaging, especially the relationship between the main character Jeoz and his daughter, which is superb. In addition, Bacigalupi employs his gift for “environmental” fiction in showing a world slowly dying as a result of its own actions and the selfish refusal of those in power to take the necessary steps to explore solutions when it is contrary to their own selfish interests. However, to his credit, this “don’t destroy the environment” message is never heavy handed and its delivery never bogs down the story. With this story, I think it is safe to say that Bacigalupi has shown himself to be able to effectively write genre fantasy and I hope to see more from him in the near future. As for the 3.0 to 3.5 star rating, the reason I did not rate this story higher is really more the result of what I saw as a fundamental flaw in the use of the short fiction format for this story. I think this story would have been much better if the author had written it as a full length novel and taken the time to be able to further describe and detail the world. It is very good for what it is but I just felt like I never had enough of a sense of place to be fully engaged in the novella. Thus, good to very good but not quite as excellent as his previous work. Recommended!! Next Up: The Executioness by Tobias Buckell.

Opus N3 Ağaç Yumurta Marakas (Çift) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

4.5 stars I was hooked from the moment I saw this striking cover and read the book's synopsis. My addiction with this book continued as I was found myself completely drawn into the unique world that Leigh has created. From her beautifully detailed setting in Ireland, to the engaging world, and fascinating supernatural powers some of her characters have to the sizzling romance between Megan and Adam, everything about this book hooked me. What a fabulous debut! There's a great cast of characters, and two of my favorites were the main ones, Megan and Adam. Megan's just moved to Ireland with her Dad from the US. She's a genuinely nice person, she's well grounded, sincere and has an inner strength I really admired about her. Adam is also a grounded person, he's geniune, and one of his greatest strengths is his passion. He has a passion for life and a passion for those he really cares about. There's a lot of mystery surrounding Adam and his family, who are treated like outsiders, which is how they'd prefer it. When Megan moves to town, weird things start happening, and she starts to see things that about Adam and his family that no one else pays attention to. Adam's family is made up of his guardian Fionn, his standoffish brother Rian, who I really ended up liking and his sister Aine, who's an all around fun person to get to know. I like the way Leigh drew me to Adam's family. By building on the family's mystery, she allowed my curiosity to get the better of me and I had to know what Adam's family was hiding, or keeping a secret. Normally I would have been bugged by this, but I liked the way Leigh developed the instant attraction between Adam and Megan. I did get a little annoyed with how often Megan talks about how hot Adam is (at the same time she is a teenage girl, and that should be understandable), but it wasn't so bad that I wanted to put the book down. The family secret, and the attraction between Adam and Megan all ties together with the story's rich Celtic mythology. I'm a sucker for a book with a rich mythology, and one of the things that's so appealing to me about Carrier of the Mark is the unique lore and mythology Leigh has created for her story that's deeply rooted in Celtic legend. It's a mythology that's often not found in other YA books, and I really liked how refreshing this was. I also really love the fascinating powers that Megan, Adam and Adam's siblings have with controlling the elements and how that worked into the mythology which is centered on the Celtic goddess Danu. Carrier of the Mark is an enticing read that I really enjoyed. The story is well paced, the plot line is mixed with action, mystery, and romance, and Leigh's writing is addicting. I liked how she took her time to build up some of the more action filled scenes, the way she grabbed a hold of my interest by creating a great mix of both showing and telling me parts of her story and I loved the way some of the story's mystery unravels through out the course of the book. That allowed me to feel like I was finding things out along side Megan, which made me feel like was connected to the story in some small way. It's a fun, fast paced read and a book I definitely enjoyed spending the afternoon with. I'd highly recommend picking it up!

Daha Yolun Başındasın - Paolo Giordano TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Filmden nefret ettiğim için bu kitabı satın aldım (Goodwill'de 2 $ karşılığında). Tuhaf değil mi? Filmi izledikten sonra bir şeyin eksik olduğunu ve kitabın nedensiz bir ödül kazanamayacağını biliyordum. Bu yüzden, kitapta çok iyi bir anlaşma yaptığım için, kaçırdığım şeyi bulabileceğimi görmek için araştırmaya karar verdim. Kitabın filmde olmayan şeyin karakter gelişimi olduğunu çabucak fark ettim! Filmi izlerken Robbie ve Cecilia'nın ilişkisi bağlamında iyi bir fikir edemedim. Onların romantizmi ve ardından gelen trajedi bu nedenle biraz ezici. Ancak kitap, iç ve dış yaşamlarını okuyucu için çok daha erişilebilir hale getirir, bu da daha güçlü bir etki yaratır. Film karşılaştırıldığında duygusal olarak kuruydu. Ekrana iyi tercüme edilen ya da en azından yönetmen, görüntü yönetmeni, set tasarımcısı vb. Tarafından iyi yorumlanan şey, karakterleri çevreleyen atmosferdi. McEwan'ın karakterin etrafındaki her nüansı mükemmel bir şekilde tanımlayabilmesiyle büyülenmiştim. Filmi ilk izlediğimi kabul ettim, bu yüzden zaten önceden hazırlanmış bir zihinsel imajım vardı, ancak sahnenin film yapımcılarından değil, doğrudan yazardan geldiğini yazdı. McEwan, karakterlerin iç yaşamlarını, özellikle de bu hikayenin merkezi figürü olan Briony'i tanımlamakta usta. Her şeyi bilen bir anlatıcı kullanarak McEwan, her bir karakter hakkında kendisinden bahsedebileceğinden daha fazlasını anlatabilir. Bu fantastik bir psikolojik okuma yapar. Bir karakterin kafasına girmeyi seviyorum ve içinde yaşadığımız dünyayı ve içimizdeki dünyaları eşit güçle gözlemleyebilen bir yazara saygı duyuyorum. McEwan'dan başka bir kitap okumak için sabırsızlanıyorum.
