   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) Hccpsk | Apr 25, 2024 |  I'm an outlier on this, but I am so tired of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic novels. There's a sameness to them and I find it hard to be pulled into the same tired story. The Moon of Crusted Snow was different enough for me to be intrigued and Rice created characters who were very likable. The sequel was fine, but it falls into the patterns of the genre, making it more predictable. Still, for those who loved the first book, the sequel will be a satisfying read. ( )1  RidgewayGirl | Apr 23, 2024 | The power is still out, with no explanation - still. 6 from the tribe are chosen to find out what happened, and they journey out to find some answers. The first half of the story is about their journey, and though that may look boring, it really isn't. And when they start meeting up with other survivors, the story really picks up! Unfortunately the Trumpsters have also survived, only now they are calling themselves the Disciples. Avoiding them, while finding a new place to settle is the major challenge the walkers face. Well, that, and just staying alive in general! I really enjoyed reading this book, and was genuinely saddened when I finished. (  ) Stahl-Ricco | Apr 2, 2024 | Rice's writing is beautiful. I immediately felt immersed in and found myself savoring the suspenseful narrative. I loved the glimpses into Aniishinabe culture and appreciated how Rice incorporated the language in such a way that assumed an intelligent reader would infer meaning from context. Great sequel! (  ) ryner | Apr 2, 2024 | The people that Evan Whitesky led into the forest in the first book have survived ten years living off the land but they are finding that the resources they rely upon are becoming harder to obtain. There haven't been any outsiders come to their settlement so they don't really know what the rest of Ontario (or the world for that matter) looks like now. These Anishinaabe people originally lived much further south, on the shore of Georgian Bay. It was a good place to live but they were forcibly relocated a few generations ago. Now, it is determined that a small group will go south to see what conditions are like there. The journey is arduous but these are people used to living off the land so they manage to make it out of the bush to what used to be a settled town. Now there is no-one living there and everything useful has been taken. When someone shoots at them in a town, they realize there are some survivors but they aren't willing to share. It becomes a survival exercise for the small group to continue to their old community. Some don't make it, sadly. I listened to this audiobook, just as I did for the first book. It was also narrated by Billy Merasty and his narration added to the story. ( ) gypsysmom | Feb 27, 2024 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: "Waubgeshig Rice's stories are good medicine. Moon of the Turning Leaves is a restorative balm for my spirit." — Angeline Boulley, New York Times bestselling author of Firekeeper's Daughter In this gripping stand-alone literary thriller set in the world of the award-winning post-apocalyptic novel Moon of the Crusted Snow, a scouting party led by Evan Whitesky ventures into unknown and dangerous territory to find a new home for their close-knit Northern Ontario Indigenous community more than a decade after a world-ending blackout. For the past twelve years, a community of Anishinaabe people have made the Northern Ontario bush their home in the wake of the power failure that brought about societal collapse. Since then they have survived and thrived the way their ancestors once did, but their natural food resources are dwindling, and the time has come to find a new home. Evan Whitesky volunteers to lead a mission south to explore the possibility of moving back to their original homeland, the "land where the birch trees grow by the big water" in the Great Lakes region. Accompanied by five others, including his daughter Nangohns, an expert archer, Evan begins a journey that will take him to where the Anishinaabe were once settled, near the devastated city of Gibson, a land now being reclaimed by nature. But it isn't just the wilderness that poses a threat: they encounter other survivors. Those who, like the Anishinaabe, live in harmony with the land, and those who use violence. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
