The plot was a variation on the 1001 Nights idea... much of the book is made up of stories about other events being told between the two main characters. It's a powerful device, but it falls a little flat here. I think because Anima's inner landscape isn't well developed enough. There are signs that the stories are having an effect on her, but because we don't really see her inner monologue well, her eventual action at the end feels formulaic instead of heartfelt.
The fact that this is a novella works against the story here. There is obviously a well-developed and complex world in the author's head, but in the short space, the reader is overwhelmed with geographical, political and social minutiae without the time or space to really embrace it. I haven't looked into it, but it feels as if this is a first published work. I think the world has potential and I hope that they continue to write it in, develop it, and come back with a more fully realized version of it.
All that said, I have read far more disappointing books, and overall I gave this one three stars. If you enjoy the more poetic writing style, it's definitely worth taking this one for a spin.… (mehr)
