The book became my friend and I felt a bit melancholic when I finished. Maybe there is too much surf in it, 500 pages felt a bit extreme but I enjoyed it way too much to tax that in the end. There is a lot of talk about catching waves in it (hinted by the subtitle). What I am trying to say is that it might be a good idea to read this book if you have some interest in the sport. I final got to start the book during another vacation where I did another course, three days this time. I’ve always thought surf is a very cool sport and it was (still is) a dream to learn it. I saw it won the Pulitzer Prize and it was recommended by Obama. I bought Barbarian Days few years ago before a vacation where I was planning to take a surf lesson. I took the dream as a sign that I should finally write a review for this memoir. The author would not even call that a Kook effort, which is slang for a beginner. It probably deserves only 4 stars but I am still thinking about it, one month after I finished it so I decided to upgrade the rating. Award-winning author Ken Liu fulfills the covenants first laid out a decade ago in a series delving deep into the connection between national myths and national constitutions in this magnificent fantasy epic (NPR).4.5. Even the gods cannot see through the Wall of Storms, for only mortal hearts can decide mortal fates. The people of Dara continue to struggle against the genocidal Lyucu as both nations vacillate between starkly contrasting visions for their futures. Harried by Lyucu pursuers, Princess Thera and Pekyu Takval try to reestablish an ancestral dream even as their hearts grow in doubt. The concluding book of The Dandelion Dynasty begins immediately after the events of The Veiled Throne, in the middle of two wars on two lands among three people separated by an ocean yet held together by the invisible strands of love.
The battle continues in this silkpunk fantasy as science and destiny collide against the will of the gods in this final installment in the epic Dandelion Dynasty series from the genius (Elizabeth Bear, Hugo Award-winning author of the Eternal Sky series) Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author Ken Liu.
