Title: Etruscans by Morgan Llywelyn, Michael Scott ISBN: 0812580125 Publisher: Tor Books Pub. Date: December, 2001 Format: Mass Market Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $6.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.88
Rating: 5
Summary: Mythic proportions against a lush milieu
Comment: ....It is as fine a novel as any of Llywelyn or Scott's other work. While the characterization here is acutely archetypal, excusing it readily from Proustian descriptive depth, it is truly memorable. The dark goddess Pythia is absolutely Lovecraftian in her gross morbidity and utter vileness. Hero Horatius strides manfully from the literary gene pool that spawned Odysseus, David, Beowulf, and Superman. The sensuously depicted settings easily bring Dante and Milton to mind. This is masterful storytelling at its finest from two of contemporary fiction's best.
Rating: 2
Summary: Absolutely no depth to the character
Comment: I expected a lot more from this book and the marvellous Ms. Llywelyn. Unfortunately, the characters are very one-dimensional. They either prematurely terminate, or fail to develop with any intensity as the "story" progresses.
Rating: 5
Summary: A release from boredom
Comment: Although usually not a big fan of fantasy, I found this story to be exciting and almost impossible to put down. Ms. Llywelyn and Mr. Scott have done a superb job of writing with their descriptions of the netherworld, its dangers and pitfalls . The premise that Horatrim's ancestors bestow upon him the powers needed to overcome all odds and to defeat the powers of evil are certainly in keeping with the modern idea that we all inherit certain qualities from our forbearers. I hope that there will be a sequel to this book as I really want to know what happens to these characters in later life.
