Opciones de compra y complementos
In the second volume of the Lyonesse trilogy, new threads are woven into the epic tapestry begun in Suldrun's Garden. While war rages across the Elder Isles, King Aillas's true love, Glyneth, is carried off to a parallel world by an amoral magician in the pay of the wicked King Casmir. Meanwhile, a sorceress's malice, condensed into a green pearl, passes from hand to hand bringing poignant misery to whomever it touches.Jack Vance conjures up a tale of war and politics, magic and derring-do, presented in the inimitable style that has made him one of fantasy's acknowledged grandmasters. – Matt Hughes

Of course, Vance's sense of the fantastic is obvious on every page (a possible exaggeration, but you get the idea), along with a carefully wrought account of life on the fictional island Lyonesse a few generations before King Arthur. I am personally amused that in the whole book, I noticed not a single anachronism, though I'm sure there are many. But at any rate, no tomatoes or potatoes (for example).
I must add that I've been reading and re-reading The Green Pearl since it was first published.
As you expect with Jack Vance. Complex societies well imagined and more characterisation than you would expect in a Sci-Fi saga. Good Read
The story moves forward the efforts of Ailias to counter the Ska presence in the Ulflands, including reunion with the ska noblegirl Tatzel, and a number of combat scenes. Ongoing machinations of Tartumello (sp) continue, though the sorcerors play an overall small role in the story, Visbhume excepted.
A major plot thread resolution here (the ska presence in the Ulflands) has a resolution which is far too easy, resembling other major political resolutions seen in some other stories by Vance, including The Pnume, The Wankh, and arguably The Dirdir - essentially, protagonist dictates terms to enemy from position of (sometimes) apparent strength, and enemy accepts unconditionally, end of problem.
This is a fabulous book, and I am looking forward to re-reading Madouc in the near future.
