Narrative In Favor Of Books Being a Green Mother (Incarnations of Immortality #5)

Quest. World faces doom. (view spoiler)[ World ends. Earth quakes, tides tsunami, winds hurricane, everyone dies. (hide spoiler)] Prophecy says Orb will marry Satan. (view spoiler)[ She does. Life goes on. (hide spoiler)] First time through series, heroes (men and women) seemed to stretch pre-ordained parameters of roles, grow into best they could be. Death and War were seen in new, surprising, positive lights. On re-read some decades later, maybe dated, maybe worst forgotten, but cannot continue when soap-opera family tangles into too many knots. (view spoiler)[ Satan knows marriage ceremony will destroy him, so sacrifice proves his love. Bright light is "redeemed souls being released from Hell" p 301, so he saves all those in Hell too. Orb makes big mistake common to first love, does not marry Mym. She gives up him up to prevent berserker bloodshed p 73; he never was hidden. To take job of Nature, she tosses daughter to adopters without a single thought, ever. No wonder poor Orlene suicides in #1. Place-holders plunk into plot without regard to individual personalities. She is not nice. (hide spoiler)] Her music tames whale Jonah, houses band Sludge. Drug addicts and Jezebel, succubus cursed to copulate every hour of every night (exhausting), all feel relief inside. Orb and (second) cousin Luna call each other Eyeball and Moth. Cute comic relief? (view spoiler)[She continues Llano search, though "her reasons for pursuing this song seemed trivial; she might as well have gone naked into the jungle to pursue a tiger" p 161. She cannot control powers of Nature unleashed by a portion. Obviously suitor Natasha is acronym for Ah Satan, also on track of ultimate weapon. Nat claims "I lied to you when I said I knew only fragments of the Llano; I know all of it, but I can only use fragments" p 239. Of course she wants other two themes "Loss and Dissolution" or "Night and Chaos", and plays them, the End of the World, invokes Fire to better, only worsens. Jezebel "doesn't dream .. didn't remember .. warning" p 244 ignored. Powers of Nature are put in hands of spoiled brat. Finally between Death, Chronos reversing time, "agreement of all the Incarnations" p 291, Earth returns to safe state. Do her job skills improve in rest of series? (hide spoiler)]

Comment On Out Of Books Being a Green Mother (Incarnations of Immortality #5)

I am quite delighted that this did not remain the last in this series as was originally intended. The ending is too abrupt, too crazy to be the ending of this whole story!That being said, I felt like this whole book was sort of crammed together. A ton of stuff happened, but it felt rather formulaic and crowded until about page 235, right around when the actual Immortality-ness kicked in. THEN it got super interesting. Not to say it wasn't interesting before--all kinds of question get answered,

I think this book was the best one of the series, that I have read so far. Despite me putting in a rather long pause after just about a third of it, I was immediately pulled back in when I picked the book up again.I read this book on Kindle, as I did all the previous books in this series. Unfortunately the next two parts are still not available on Kindle, which is a bit annoying and also a decision by the publisher that I cannot comprehend.

Orb Kaftan is born into a special family. Her father can make magical music and her mother was once an aspect of Fate. Her half-brother is a powerful magician and her niece can see auras and paint them. Orb herself has an incredible amount of music magic. As she grows her talent grows with her and when she becomes an adult she sets out to find the ultimate music of all, the Llano. Traveling all over Europe to various gypsy camps, she seeks the elusive music. In India she falls in love, but hes

I vaguely remember reading this a long, long time ago, when the book and series were new. I remember, I think, being frustrated with it. And I think this is why: first, Anthony writes in a rather dry, unemotional style, somewhat like being told what happened rather than experiencing it for oneself. I prefer not being kept at a distance. Then, he has a tendency to get wrapped up in symbolism and complex ideas which don't often make a lot of sense to me. The first book in this series, the one

I'd really been looking forward to reading this book as part of this series. I'd enjoyed the female perspective of Fate, and after being not overly thrilled with War, I thought Gaea would be fun to read. It was and it wasn't. I liked it, I really did. Orb is an okay character. She's the Luna's aunt and Niobe's daughter and Mym's ex-lover and Orlene's mother, and I really do like when books tie together like this. It's fun reading and finding the connections, especially in this series. There were

I couldn't get through this one....if you're a fan go for it. I read the incarnation of Death book first, and really felt they faded with each book after. So it goes sometimes. For Anthony fans I assume you will like this, but as I said, I just couldn't get into it at all.

This is the quickest read of the series so far. In it we follow Orb, the daughter of Niobe (from With a Twisted Skein) as she travels the world in search of the Llano, a song which encompasses and can affect all of nature. As she follows the music she meets and aids gypsies, an Indian prince, drug addicted musicians, and the Incarnations of Immortality. Being a musician, it's nice to see music be at the core of a fantasy novel and its power be acknowledged.
