Über diesen Titel
In Seth Dickinson's highly anticipated debut The Traitor Baru Cormorant, a young woman from a conquered people tries to transform an empire in this richly imagined geopolitical fantasy. Baru Cormorant believes any price is worth paying to liberate her people - even her soul.
When the Empire of Masks conquers her island home, overwrites her culture, criminalizes her customs, and murders one of her fathers, Baru vows to swallow her hate, join the empire's civil service, and claw her way high enough to set her people free. Sent as an imperial agent to distant Aurdwynn, another conquered country, Baru discovers it's on the brink of rebellion. Drawn by the intriguing duchess Tain Hu into a circle of seditious dukes, Baru may be able to use her position to help. As she pursues a precarious balance between the rebels and a shadowy cabal within the empire, she orchestrates a do-or-die gambit with freedom as the prize.
But the cost of winning the long game of saving her people may be far greater than Baru imagines.
©2015 Seth Dickinson (P)2015 Macmillan AudioI did read this book before I listened to the audiobook, so I had a bit of an idea of what is going on, who is who, and who is where. You NEED to look at the map in the book (you can find the map online) to have a fundamental grasp of the second half. Between about 60% to 80% this gets very focused on “what is happening in general” over what the individual characters are doing, that part does drag a lot, and that’s why the book/story do only get a 4/5.
Also this, as a re-reading of the story, did not manage to convince me that Baru is not a Sociopath or Psychopath. Girrrrl.
Intense, interesting, sometimes: A bit hard to follow.
