Theodora. Wanita yang pintar (dan licik)
Whiteway blurs the lines between magic and advanced science, not as a way to avoid making the homeworld of the Kelanni believable, but to heighten the cultural tension which runs through this series like milk through a sieve. Two societies, separated by the strange dynamics of their planet, collide in a common purpose that is instigated by interloping aliens from the stars - “hu-mans.” In truth, the technology is every bit as credible as it is fantastic. This is par for the course with Whiteway, who has a knack for choosing phrases that root the reader in a very alien world, such as the color “blood-white.” This allows him to take a bold move – not using the point-of-view of his human characters – and pull it off with panache. The balancing of action against character development is sublime. This volume is packed with action, but the reader is feels grounded by the solid personalities of the hardened and conflicted Keris, maid-turned-leader Shann, and mysterious creature Boxx, along with their companions. This is no mere pulp fiction between these covers . . . Whiteway is good enough to grace the world with a science fiction masterpiece.
