The admittedly awful Gino D'Achille cover unlikely clothing improbable anatomy says 'sword and planet' but the inside says otherwiseI was caught up in its worldbuilding in the parsimony of hard facts at the beginning The reader has to suss out the details of this unusual world from character discussion where the conversations contain no empty convenient statements What is a Tek What is a Screamer Why do the characters speak in such a roundabout manner that avoids direct uestions or statementsThis dearth of hard information intrigues at the beginning but hurts the story later on I would have gladly replaced the one piece of Jack Gaughin interior art with a detailed travel map that explains the Wall and Crescent and rivers and relationships of settlements 'stocks' and the central plateau that anchors the setting Dibell shies away from many inconveniently hard explanations such as the provenance of the Bremneri people human uplifted natives or the logic behind the Valde pair bonds or even how the Valde communicate over distance At the end this is the price it pays for its compactness given the scope of storyThe story moves between the personal the political and the epic and back again in ways that were both mesmerizing and frustrating It would take a break from the overarching uest to destroy the planetary AI to talk of the machinations between settlements and then to the wholly personal concerns of Jannus and Poli working out their nascent pairbonding I could have read any amount of the uest like story of Lur trying to reach Downstation or of the Innsmiths maneuvering the political situations or of raids to recover suddenly available supertechnology from deathtrap laden strongholds but the sodden and dreamlike sections of Jannus and Poli dragged horriblyThe JannusPoli relationship was intriguing for precisely one reason their attachment is both permanent and a matter of convenience Poli bonds with Jannus due to proximity to him and absence of alternatives and while this situation was not deliberately engineered by him view spoilerWe think he carried uite a torch for her and she had no interest She was obligated to follow him into the wilderness because of Reasons and he needed to go into the wilderness for Other Reasons hide spoiler

Omputer Or the last king of lost KantmoriePursuit of the Screamer introduces a new and surprising writer to sciencefiction with a novel of unusual characters on a world of shocking contrastsIf you like high science fiction adventure on a par with Norton Bradleyand Tanith Lee this is for you. Recently I got a large stack of books from a family member Part of it were 5 books by Ansen Dibell translated in Dutch After looking the author up I discovered all 5 books belonged to one series of which just the 3 first books were published in the original English but for some reason in the Dutch and French translations all 5 books were publishedI decided to read the first book to see if the whole series was worth keepingBasically it's Vancian science fantasy but not as good Sometimes feels like it skips over the interesting parts to move to a less interesting part of the story somehow the characters wind up somewhere after skipping their travel their just to focus on longwinded dialogs that just don't feel reelAll through the book there are lots of info dumps and still weird terms and places are referenced without being clear what is meantIt's not that bad but somehow it reads awkward It takes effort to read it Conclusion I'll skip the next four books and move on to the next authorWeirdly enough Ansen Dibell while not that successful as a novelist herself this publish a few books on writing I think I'll skip those too
