3.0 out of 5 stars Wyrldmaker: Truesure or a Curse, August 31, 2002

This review is from: Wyrldmaker (Paperback)

Kemen starts out across the worlds, the Wyrldmaker at his side. He does what no man has done, he lives through his suicide and faces worlds and universes that no other has seen.

This takes place across worlds no other could imagine, with towers built from floating trees, and ships that sail on giant wheels across a desert plain.

I thought the world building was outrageouse, and rather complex, which made it interesting, but the plot had a little to be desired. The chars were even more interesting. I would recomend reading it then setting it free from bookcrossings.com

This review is from: Wyrldmaker (Paperback)

Kemen starts a war with his fellow kings over a fantastic relationship with a strange white haired lady from another world. Who drops off a son a few years later named Hayl. After a second disappointing of his wyrlds kings he dispenses with them and takes off on a journey for death.
Death escapes him and he finds love in the arms of a steely souled woman who he is unsure about loving for fear that he will ruin his chance with Noese.
An escape from the norm, with many creative environments and creatures. A quick eye opening view of a different world.
