Ein toller Auftakt der Lust auf mehr macht

4 Sterne

Ein ikonisches Werk, bei dem man merkt, wie es neuere Phantastik beeinflusst hat.

Eines, dass ich besonders herausstellen will, ist die Lebendigkeit der Charaktere, selbst die, die nur in einem Kapitel auftreten. Ich hatte immer das Gefühl, dass diese "greifbar" sind, eine unerzählte Geschichte abseits der Handlung besitzen, was bei manchen dann auch zutraf. Generell hatte ich nie den Eindruck: "ahh, das ist Charakterschablone xy" auch wenn manche Anspielung auf Herr der Ringe (hust, Lan/Aragorn, hust) schon sehr offensichtlich war.
