Re: Wraethu
Mon, June 22, 2009 - 12:22 AMThe correct title of the book you are talking about is Wraeththu.
From the review on amazon it sounds like the gothic answer to a Harlequin book series bodice ripper.

Happy reading, Christina -

Mon, June 22, 2009 - 8:56 PMIt's an alternate realty kind of story. The author created a very intriciate very compelling society, culture, religion, and plot in this book.
I loaned this book out until it never came home :)

Re: Wraethu
Mon, June 22, 2009 - 10:35 PMalternate realities aka multiverse novels are my fave genre.....Pastwatch (Card) and Timeline (Chrichton) are also lovely cultural commentaries....
I will have to try to find this one!
(and I could not care less what Canela thinks about anything....I've decided any post by her will be treated as non sequitur - I expect it will free up a lot of time spent reading far more interesting posts) -

Mon, June 22, 2009 - 11:03 PMMe too! I loved Timeline!
I'll have to put Pastwatch on the my list.
I just started reading Lies my teacher told me, and then I think it's Loving Frank. Is it by Orson Scott Card?
I really enjoyed the Ender's Series. I might have bump Frank :)
Have you read any Charles deLint?

Re: Wraethu
Mon, June 22, 2009 - 11:16 PMI haven't read any deLint - yet.......a quick review of his bio suggests that Moonheart might be a good place to start - would you agree?
The idea of combining/creating parallels between Celtic and Native American myth is an intriguing addition to the mix.....
Pastwatch is indeed Orson Scott Card, though quite different from his Ender's novels - in a very good way! The full title is Pastwatch: the Redemption of Christopher Columbus. I could go on for days about the incredibly interesting idea of inserting agents from the future into key points of the past - in order to make changes for the greater good. The very idea of determining what those points would be is mind boggling to me...... -

Re: Wraethu
Mon, June 22, 2009 - 11:41 PMhmm that's a tough call for me. The Onion Girl is my favorite novel of his. I liked Moonheart too.
I got hooked by his short stories and then ended up reading anything of his I could get my hands on. Some craziness like 9 books of his books in a year.
So it might not matter where one starts:)

Mon, June 22, 2009 - 10:18 PMWhat's funny about your post Canela is that you you have absolutely no idea how much of an ASS you just made of yourself by commenting on a book you haven't read.
