Ich sag's mal so: Wäre Barbara Hambly nicht vor dem radikalen Ende zurückgeschreckt, das sie Ende Kapitel 17, Anfang Kapitel 18 anlegt, DER SCHWARZE DRACHE wäre ein legendärer, ein maßgeblicher Fantasyroman geworden, der weit über die 1980er-Jahre hinausgestrahlt hätte.

So bleibt es einfach ein guter Roman mit lebendigen Hauptfiguren, spannenden menschlichen Dilemmata und angenehm sinnlich erfahrbarem Weltenbau.

Was ganz schön viel ist.

"Wir leben in einer sterbenden Welt, Gareth. Tag für Tag geht etwas verloren."
Barbara Hambly

Stand Seite 58 ist das Buch auf ebenso schöne wie überzeugende Weise von Verlust geprägt, von Mangel, von einem Bewusstsein der Figuren für das, was es zu bewahren gilt, aber wahrscheinlich nicht bewahrt werden kann, während die Zeiten immer rauer werden. Das macht den vierzig Jahre alten Fantasy-Roman sehr gegenwärtig.

(Der schwarze Drache)

I loved this book—the protagonists and dragon are very engaging and held my interest right from the start. 1/4

Chores done. Back in bed for the afternoon with the second book in Barbara Hambly's Darwath series. I think we may be about to encounter a dragon #highfantasy #fantasy #barbarahambly

For #WorldBookDay:

This is a marvellous murder mystery which makes the most of its very specific setting amid the backlots of Hollywood silent movies in the 1920s.

Pacy, colourful, wryly observed and buoyed by Hambly's meticulous attention to the little details that make places and people feel real.

I just picked up the sequel, One Extra Corpse.

I was so enthralled by my reread of #BarbaraHambly's Fever Season that I didn't hear the Uber Eats driver dropping off my souvlaki.

I have read this book MANY times, and I was sitting near the front door with the window open. That's how good it is.

https://louisianaperspectives.wordpress.com/ I am fascinated by New Orleans in the decades before the American Civil War. Thanks, Barbara Hambly, for writing the Benjamin January series. So I’ve found someone who provides some fascinating information. #creole #NewOrleans #BarbaraHambly #language
