No início, estava gostando bastante do livro, do mundo fantasia criado pelo autor, mas com o desenrolar do enredo, achei que o autor focou a história num único acontecimento e deixou a oportunidade de desenvolver mais o ambiente e narrar mais detalhadamente os trajetórias de alguns personagens, que poderiam ser mais cheias de aventuras.

Flawed but intriguing
2013年9月8日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I've never really caught on how to do half-star recommendations on Amazon (or even if that's possible). Actually I'd tend to pitch this at the 3 1/2 star point -- it's very well written, exceptionally well-realized and with (for the most part) believable characters. It suffers from the big plot hole everyone has talked about here, as well as, I think, a character who doesn't work as well as he probably envisioned it would.
The plot is well summarized already, there's no need for me to do it. I liked the world, which felt to me like Central Asia pulled in a southern direction (if that makes sense). Abraham is very good on setting the scene: the humidity, the filth in the streets, the rain, what's being eaten, what's being worn, traditional roles and political structures. The characters in here were I thought fairly believable (with one major exception)and I particularly liked how the "theme" of the book was the difficulty of the choices they all made. I don't think it's giving too much away to point out that the nominal "heroes" of this story do some fairly terrible things, while the "villains", although not always behaving with the noblest of intentions, are certainly understandable. I also liked how these characters' destinies do not, for the most part, work out in the traditional ways. There are a few spots here where it looks like things are working towards a certain kind of traditional resolution -- only to have them twisted about. I liked that.
The magic is limited to one idea rather rigorously presented. (I wonder if Abraham knows the work of Jack O'Connell who actually wrote a book called WORD MADE FLESH.) Although the Andat are said to be living "ideas", the one we actually see, Seedless, is much more a Lucifer figure out of PARADISE LOST -- complete with sympathetic motivations and painful self-knowledge. It will be interesting to see how they develop in other books. I do agree that there's a massive plot hole in this, it didn't destroy the story for me but I can see how it might for others. (I buy the explanations of those who've proffered them on how this hole can be explained away -- I just don't see that in the book, is the thing. In vague terms it's suggested if X happens Y will result. Unfortunately though the story ends with X happening and no Y resulting, indeed the last line clearly indicates the city is only slowly waking up to the enormity of the deed. So in story terms "Y" is really not on the table, at least here. My guess is that Abraham was more concerned with the moral conundrum than the story-problems, and didn't really think things through.)
My other issue is the characterization of the love interest. All of the other major characters in this book are pretty complex, with mixed motives and internal conflicts. Love Interest though is pretty straightforward -- she's a pretty, self-involved girl. It's done well, to be sure, but in a book where seemingly everyone else is hoisting their own cross on the way to their personal Calvary her narcissism makes her unlikable. Structurally it actually gets in the way of the story, as at about the 2/3 point or so her story rises to the surface and her unappealing nature makes this bit a dreadful drag to get through -- at frankly a bad time in the book for the energy to lag.
So it has problems, but I believe this was Abraham's first novel and these are the kind of problems I would expect to find in a first novel, ie basic plot construction problems. There's a lot here that's really good, and I will be checking out the second volume of the series.

A new sort of fantasy
2012年12月16日にドイツでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The book depicts a relaxing world where every character is real.
This isn't usual fantasy: it isn't a book of great epics or huge battles.
This is a book that talks about people and after a couple of chapters I was caring for them and not really for the plot.
I liked particularly the mild tone and the slight minor strokes that shaped up the characters.
Simple hints that relate each character to people I've met in real life.
No detailed descriptions are used to create characters as real as flesh.

Gute Story und ein interessanter individueller Ansatz "Magie" darzustellen, dabei spannend mit unerwarteten Wendungen. Bin gespannt auf die weiteren Bücher der Serie.
