In the lands of the True Game, your lifelong identity emerges as you play-Prince or Sorcerer, Demon or Doyen. Raising the dead is the least of the Necromancer's Talents-he is a wild card who threatens the True Game itself. A giant stalks the mountains. Shadowpeople gather by the light of the moon.

Good, enjoyable. I like Tepper's basic premise that the world is sentient - worlds are :-). And the tangles that come from people arriving on another world, not having a clue about it and immediately trying to make it "like Home", are interestng and worrying. doing just that, even with other countries, counties, streets even, here on Earth is such a prevalent and bad human tendency!
Reading this one took me into the Jinian series again. Am just reading "Jinian Star Eye"... (show more)

Reading this one took me into the Jinian series again. Am just reading "Jinian Star Eye", the final volume in the series. Tepper can "bore on" a bit and I do find myself skipping when she gets in the "bleeding obvious" aobut people's feelings. I also find even Jinian severely "dense" at times but overall, I enjoy it. And I love the working premise of a sentient world with very sentient and capable beings who are largely unrecognisable to the humans. (show less)

Sheri S. Tepper is such an amazing author, and I have loved every book of hers I have read. They are so intricate, but she writes in a way that imparts quite a lot of information without leaving me confused, as some authors do.
