This novel follows on the heels of The Dreamthief’s Daughter , continuing the intertwined saga of Elric, his daughter Oona, her husband and Elric’s son-in-law Ulric von Bek. Moorcock brings his Eternal Champion mythos to early North America, as seen through the eyes of both the native tribes and the immigrant Vikings. The Vikings call the native peoples skraelings or skraylings - which gives the title of the novel, The Skrayling Tree . The Tree itself may well be the essence or objectification of Moorcock’s all encompassing Multiverse. The three plot strands follow Oona, daughter of Elric and the dreamthief; her husband Ulric von Bek, himself bearing strong ties to the Eternal Champion; and the most recognized of all the Champions incarnations, Elric of Melnibone. We see the story from three perspectives, Oona's, her husband Ulrich Von Bek and Elric. Three disparate threads that are gradually drawn together. The writing is beautiful, Moorcock really taking it all in his stride, taking time to create a story of wonderful complexity, yet with a paradoxical simplicity. It builds slowly, gradually gathering steam as the story reaches its climax. Each step along the way is an opportunity to stop and look around at the strange and wonderful world he has created, where mass and time and scale mean little. Views: 62
From Publishers WeeklyVeteran romance author Miller braids together numerous storylines in the second entry in her late-19th-century McKettrick Cowboystrilogy (after High Country Bride), yet all of them lack depth. Angus,patriarch of the McKettrick clan, sets his three sons against oneanother with his proclamation that the first to marry and father achild will inherit his Arizona ranch. Kade McKettrick, not to beoutdone by his recently married brother, Rafe, has sent for amail-order bride. Improbably, he gets six, none he would marry, whileMandy Sperrin, who's on the run and masquerading as a nun, tweaks hislibido. Mandy's disguise fools everyone but Kade, even though shetakes a job in a hotel and doesn't know a syllable of Latin when askedto offer a prayer. Though Mandy's plight will inspire sympathy-she'sfrom a broken home and yearns to belong somewhere-the hot-bloodedMcKettrick men, who are always spoiling for a fight, are merestereotypes. Miller compensates with an overstuffed plot involvingrange wars, stolen gold and murder, but these subplots often feelsketchily drawn and unresolved (a threatened range war fizzles; aposse decides to return home mid-chase). A mile wide and an inch deep,this western romp, while charming at times, lacks the richcharacterizations that established Miller as a bestselling author.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
