- Kurzbiographie
- Courtney Schafer was born in Georgia, raised in Virginia, and spent her childhood dreaming of adventures in the jagged mountains and sweeping deserts of her favorite fantasy novels. She escaped the East Coast by attending Caltech for college, where she obtained a B.S. in electrical engineering, and also learned how to rock climb,
backpack, ski, scuba dive, and stack her massive book collection so it wouldn't crush anyone in an earthquake. After college she moved to the climber's paradise of Boulder, Colorado, and somehow managed to get a masters degree in electrical engineering from the University of Colorado in between racking up ski days and peak climbs.
She now works in the aerospace industry and is married to an Australian scientist who shares her love for speculative fiction and mountain climbing. She's had to slow down a little on the adrenaline sports since the birth of her son, but only until he's old enough to join in. She writes every spare moment she's not working or adventuring with her family.

Anyway, for the rest of the book. I don't have any major complaints, so I guess it can be four stars? I didn't understand some of the stylistic choices (like why Kiran is narrated in third person limited while Dev is through first person), there was sometimes a bit too much overexplanation of the tell-not-show variety, and there was a kind of annoying tendency for many problems to be fixable just by Climbing. I also wasn't huge on the romance developing at the end of the book, but whatever.
But luckily, the mage did have magic things to do. The characters' idiocies were well-enough explained by their flaws/backstories. When it was just Dev and Kiran together, the story went a lot better. I'll probably put the next book on my TBR list.… (mehr)
