Representaion To Books Hart's Hope

A dark and powerful fantasy from the bestselling author of Ender's Shadow.

Enter the city of Hart's Hope, ruled by gods both powerful and indifferent, riddled with sorcery and revenge. The city was captured by a rebellious lord, Palicrovol, who overthrew the cruel king, Nasilee, hated by his people.

Palicrovol, too, was cruel, as befitted a king. He took the true mantle of kinghood by forcing Asineth, now Queen by her father's death, to marry him, raping her to consummate the marriage. [But he was not cruel enough to rule.] He let her live after her humiliation; live to bear a daughter; live to return from exile and retake the throne of Hart's Hope.

But she, in turn, sent Palicrovol into exile to breed a son who would, in the name of the God, take back the kingdom from its cruel Queen.

Critique Appertaining To Books Hart's Hope

Warning!!!! This book is dark! Ridiculously dark! It contains abuse, humiliation, degradation, torture, imprisonment, possession, rape, incest, and much more. But to emphasize my point, these things are not the reason it is so dark. It is the way these subjects are broached, described, and carried out that makes it so disturbing.If the purpose of a novel is to allow the reader to experience things in life without having to have lived it, maybe Harts Hope is a magnificent piece. But, if the

This book defies description. It must be one of the most underrated books in its genre, because it is so great I can't understand why it's not more well-known. As may be apparent from my book list, I'm a big fan of fantasy, but I'm also extremely picky and can't abide the Xena Warrior Princess nonsense that is so abundant on fantasy shelves. Orson Scott Card is just shy of Tolkien greatness. I love that this book doesn't hold your hand. You have to immerse yourself in the language and live with

Read it in the mid/early 2000s. Don't remember much except that I liked it, and that it was set in a the old pagan times.

Orson Scott Cards book Enchantment is one of my favorite novels, so I had been searching for another fantasy novel of his when I discovered Harts Hope. I was not displeased! Meandering at times, but tied together quite beautifully at its close, Harts Hope weaves its own entirely new, yet nostalgic folktale. I may even have enjoyed it more than Enchantment because it forsakes the modern world entirely and lives within the borders of the world Orson Scott Card created. It takes a few chapters to

ok, I admit I didn't finish it... I really couldn't, I saw no reason why (although I did read the end), probably the violence was in fact the more 'realistic' side of it but it was too much for me.

Orson Scott Card (OSC) needs little introduction for anyone that has ever read a menagerie of Sci-Fi. OSC is responsible for the "Enders Game" series which has won him both the Nebula and Hugo award and thus making him the only author to consecutively win both awards. Although I have never read the "Enders Game" series, I am familiar with it's celebrity and have a general idea of what it is about. He also is a life long Mormon, who has advocated loudly in favor of the church. It just so happens

I discovered Hart's Hope by Orson Scott Card while reading a readers digest reference book written by Card. In it he discussed a variety of topics to help readers write their novels and he used his own experiences and writing as examples. Card is the author of the Ender's Game saga and a literary icon from what I've researched. It only made sense that I read his fantasy novel, to glean some hidden wisdom from his work. I definitely learned a lot from reading it. What I learned most was, though I
