Pertence a SérieDarkwar Trilogy (3)
The world grows colder with each passing year, the longer winters and ever-deepening snows awaking ancient fears within the Dengan Packstead, fears of invasion by armed and desperate nomads, attack by the witchlike and mysterious Silth, able to kill with their minds alone, and of the Grauken, that desperate time when intellect gives way to buried cannibalistic instinct, when meth feeds upon meth. For Marika, a young pup of the Packstead, loyal to pack and family, times are dark indeed, for against these foes, the Packstead cannot prevail. But awakening within Marika is a power unmatched in all the world, a legendary power that may not just save her world, but allow her to grasp the stars themselves. From Glen Cook, author of the Black Company and Dread Empire novels. The final book in the Darkwar series. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Took me a while to get around to finishing the last book in this trilogy, because it really just wasn't doing it for me. I feel like there were some good ideas in this story, but none of them were fully realized.
Marika, the protagonist, has a lot of dreams and plans, but none of them get realized either. She just kind of gets old and bitter, caught up in events which she may have helped set into motion, but which, for all her power, go beyond her control.
There's a lot of buildup - for not much. Marika's grand nemesis, Kublin, is eventually killed - but without us ever finding out what was in his head or what his motivations were.
Then, the silth/meth encounter humans, out in space - but there's not much about who humans are at this point, or anything about how they feel about encountering aliens.
Why make the race that gets encountered humans at all?
I also felt annoyed that there was a lot about technology vs. the silth's mental powers - but there was less explanation of how the silth's powers might work than most fantasy books have about how 'magic' works. I really felt like there just should have been more included.... (
