一些絮絮叨叨
Naomi Novik的各种设定还是一如既往地吸引我:the gleaming icy path, the white trees with white leaves rustling like murmurs…everything seems to be in a delicate snow globe, hemmed with shining icicles&pale phantoms pacing silently unseen. (感觉这是一个winter story, 但不妨碍像有人说的“夏日透心凉”hhh) 个人觉得这本主视角开得有点多了,虽然最后还是收束到一起了但有些地方还是略显冗长。 Truly admire Miryem's business acumen…Even without the magic&adventure, she'd earn her coziness sooner or later. The Staryk king showed up on the back of a huge stag, with widespread antlers…strongly reminds me of LOTR… He also came with ice, snow&chill, like the Snow Queen in the ancient fairytale hhh I'd expect him to sing 'let it go~' anytime(╳) Oh and his obsession&obstinacy with promises&repayment almost bear the resemblance of Karhidians with their shifgrethor in Left Hand of Darkness…Sometimes both will make me roar 'ccccome oooon ddddude!!!' And these two just look sooo hilarious(delete) cute together!!! How many times the king just goes GLITTERING(that's what he does when getting angry) under Miryem's sarcastic tone… Didn't expect myself to like Mirnatius though…but i do! And in the end his perspective became my favorite! That ironic,mocking tone hhhh(delightful darling Irina,innocent sweet Irina) If she writes a short story in Mirnatius tone i'm sooo gonna read that… And after all this time, Easy A's jumping on the bed just never gets old hhh Only it's a tsar&a tsarina this time(even more hilarious)…
