Wow! What an incredible read! I am so glad I requested it via interlibrary loan.
One small problem.... in my copy, pages 375-406 were missing and replaced with pages 311-342, AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Whew. Glad to get that out of my system. Now, on to the book....
This book was epic. The world-building, the characters, the political intrigue... I just loved everything about it. If this had been written these days, it would've been optioned for film or TV! I just fell into this book and became part of the world.
The world (part of a system with 2 suns) has an interesting season cycle and two different peoples, the Winters and the Summers. It is also tenuously connected to the rest of the universe by a black hole. (Think wormhole.) It is also kept technically unaware. Technology arrives when the offworlders can be there and they take them away later.
This sets up the worlds for political intrigue. One Queen has to die for the other to take over. What will happen? What is the history?
I loved this book and will try and find the sequels.
For those of you who didn't love it like I did ;-P
