Text of the page (random words):
r being interrupted in an absolutely horrible crime by his father sarazin experiences something like momentary shame near self awareness once utterly bamboozled and defeated by drake deldragon douhey who sarazin had previously tried to saw the legs off he bows in supplication to the grand tragedy of drakes noble and imaginary kingdom and blood curse this is all nonsense but for sean sarazin its nearly character development the miscellaneous and the mysterious many fragments of world lore are found within the book including much that may come to pass or would have if cook had lived elpeth elkin the mind controlling wizard of ebber is he good or bad certainly the only other wizard of ebber has proven to be quite bad previously now he has access to his ancient city what will he do next the mythical tectonic lever of the deep south fated to drop all of southern argan into the sea previously pulling this thing would be genocide but with the swarms invading pulling that dang lever is starting to look like a pretty good idea actually the prose and the drowse because sarazin is the way he is much of the pleasure of the book is provided by the world and the side characters this being cooks aod the world is more than up to the challenge and the co stars are customarily complete interesting and compelling as always every single named person is clearly on their own complex journey and adventure all of the time perhaps because of sarazin cooks lovely inventive euphonic sometimes ridiculous onomatopoeic prose is lesser here than in the first four aod books though there are bits here and there the political and personal complexity remains and the hearts are still genuine but again due to sarazin the natural cynicism becomes more dominant than it was in other books making this one darker but in a low grimy way rather than a magisterial tragic way for a cook story i give this three out of five or even maybe two relative for a normal fantasy i give it a four out of five as it is still cook zaan said the sun i muse occasionally on how to produce cooks age of darkness in a way that will actually sell books at least enough so that he finally gets his much deserved spot in the fantasy hall of fame first we must re name the series too many things are called things like chronicle of an age of darkness google it and see zaan said the sun should be the title or just zaan next we must sell it as something else mievelles weird fiction would be a good choice even though it seems like and maybe is fantasy on top its really a distinctly strange and odd thing underneath almost its own genre next we front the interlacement do an encyclopaedic version put together a cast list with individual articles showing where and when they come into each tale have maps with the crazy journeys of the protagonists have an index and footnotes whenever someone shows up in someone else s story what more illustrations certainly but who could possibly illustrate tales of such remarkable tonality the corgi covers are competent fantasy scenes but have almost nothing to do with the feel or meaning of the actual books the american questar wizard war covers are utterly insane and sell the stories as things they absolutely are not but they do have a certain energy to them yann olass would probably be amused by her interpretation on the cover of the oracle at least we are not done with cook there are after all five more books to go and apparently they get weird i shall return in due time with a review of the second half of zaan and with more thoughts on how it might be adapted and recreated in living visual form and perhaps on the meaning of the whole massive thing a meaning which may well have changed totally based on the content of the next five books the wishstone and the wonderworkers the wazir and the witch the werewolf and the wormlord the worshippers and the way and finally the witchlord and the weaponmaster posted by pjamesstuart at 11 26 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels hugh cook i read a book reviews saturday 24 august 2024 queen mab s palace is complete i wrote a novel by mistake i am sorry how queen mab started back in 2020 i conceived the idea of an adventure that depending on how you orient the page as you read it it is both a fantasy and a science fiction adventure the original queen mab was meant to be a crazy gimmick book where you could read it one way then turn the book upside down and read it another way engaging with two adventures when you flip the book one way with the spine on the right as in western books then it s a science fiction adventure but the truth is that these are the same people and places but just seen from different cultural perspectives the portrait images of the main characters are flipped like those of playing cards one half facing one direction the other facing the other direction the science fiction adventurers will see it as a dimensionally warped ship of perverted biomechanical transhumans in terms of adventure design the context of the information they can get and are given will lead them to see it as a technical and material problem and the very nature of their inquiry and the way they seen the people in it will make the mission darker and more dangerous for them their technical abilities and the power of destruction and opposition that their guns etc give them means they are more likely to start conflicts this was always meant to be and has remained a fully illustrated book right from the beginning august was the intended artist and i have driven her slowly insane with my relentless over writing and never finishing anything i am sorry there is not much art in this initial post as we are still working out how much of our load to blow in promotion and how much to save for the book but expect to see more as we get closer to the kickstarter inspiration a key inspiration was vincent wards the navigator a medieval odyssey in which monks from the cumbrian middle ages fearing the advancing black death tunnel through time and arrive in a modern city 1980s aukland this is a film i haven t seen in decades and i think i only saw it once but it left an impression the key to which was the deep visionary strangeness with which its characters encounter modernity the known made unknown the familiar viewed through unfamiliar eyes a great making strange another less direct and later inspiration was shellys queen mab a radical pure freedom anti monarchist poem full of startling images the yet more wretched palaces contrasted with those ancient fanes now crumbling to oblivion the long and lonely collonades through which the ghost of freedom stalks another was a translated copy of the orphic hymns there are many more there is a lot of stuff in the book how it changed over time two things happened as we went on first i kept writing more and more and more and more adding monsters characters concepts places and so on breaking them all down to be somewhat workable and part of the same reality the other is that as the number of things in queen mab grew the complexity of the arrangement became questionable first we realised that we just couldn t handle the whole two books in one thing then we realised we couldn t handle two actual books ok so one book only with one adventure but we incorporate the pseudo medieval viewpoint of the adventurer into the text so that everything is described as if it is being seen from a medieval early modern viewpoint the reader and presumably the players know they are looking at something technological and science fictional but the viewpoint characters don t so that the duality exists in the mind of the user rather than literally on the page then that went on for a while with me constantly writing more and more and more until about june 2023 with so many other books i think demon bone sarcophagus gackling moon and speak false machine were all put together and published in the period of writing queen mab and projects stumbling down the track i had just kept writing and writing and writing but once i got a good look at everything i had written it was just too much too many places process creatures characters courts crypts queens knights ladies fairies just too much of everything it was crazy there was no way i could turn this into a workable game book it would be unplayable to an insane degree or it would take another four years to make it playable so instead i took one year and turned it into a novel problem solved the final version i did not think it would take me a year to completely re write and re arrange queen mab i did think for each of the 14 months it took that it would only ever take a few more weeks but it took much longer than that what does it mean to turn a game into a story they are not the same thing at all though they seem to share organs and limbs these things are differently arranged so that if you try to turn one into another without thinking about why and how they work it will not go well so as time went by in the writing of queen mab now retitles queen mab s palace partly to make it a nice classic three word false machine name and partly because there are a lot of things in our world called queen mab and i wanted this one to be searchable at first it was just a travelogue a report from the palace of queen mab but as more and more was written and more and more actual events took place and more of a character came into play in the nameless and at first genderless protagonist and then secondary characters joined the journey and then secondary and tertiary narrators it turned into well who knows what a historical science fiction travelogue picaresque adventure tragedy i finally finished draft one around the middle of august and here we are draft one is about 970 words including appendices and we are budgeting for 400 pages though hope to have it in well below that it might be a work of genius or at least of peak deluded narcissism which is appropriate considering the subject this is how the book starts queen mabs palace how i came to the seat of the queen of air and darkness and what i learned there of her courts ladies and thanes and her lesser servants and rude rabble that do occupy thereabouts from one who has journeyed to that realm overlong and returned but not unchanged may god have mercy on my soul the missing children and the frozen knight let me live in memory for a while and write with glass within my glass to the spirit which resides there may be in writing and remembering in line as pearls on string one upon another i may escape my dolour and know again what once it meant to be astounded or surprised for it was surprising and most strange it came about in the grieving of the year when gold first touched the green that the night black as sleep chill as stone made strange music and some heard voices of beasts who spoke as men we barred our doors and hid trusting to prayer and cold iron with the sun came silence and then the wailing of women my sister among them all the children fit to work were gone and their parents mazed and made curious numb like empty pots and these were jory my sisters son the blacksmiths child ceyln the old maids helper the dog boy haswa and dgibert the fat squires boy some said was bandits others fae but while the sun still halved on the skys rim a dog found scent and the bravest set forth and doing so made for me to come for i could both read and write and had been the teacher of those lost and also my sister was grieved and made me go we had gone not far but we found a knight wounded by the path strangely armoured fit to die and rimed with frost the knight made gesture for one to come forth and hear him and i was made to by the rest for i might give him grace though i am no priest and did not wish to the knight spoke twice ways he whispered words i could not understand but as i spoke to him and gave him succour soon came another voice this like cold iron but an echo of the first yet i knew the tongue he said you seek those taken as once i so sought i said aye this was so and how came he here he said they are with queen mab knowing this would you still go this name i knew the queen of air and darkness empress of the eld timeless and undying whom the wise have called a myth i asked how queen mab might be found and the knight said there is a door it is a cut in the air you do not have long then he said do not go but if you do know this first never promise never disagree second speak well and listen more third eat not fairy food or you shall never leave then he grieved and said your life is death to me and mine to you i do not know where i am my seals are broken and the stars unknown i die lost but i am under a sun and above a land and i am myself so ends my story put me under stone far from water where none go then he died i said words from the book then though i meant first to tell the others with me of what the frozen knight had said a madness came upon me and thinking but to test its truth i stepped forth into a haze like mist cut like a slice which hovered close this is how i came into the palace of queen mab and often i wished i had not for i returned much changed marked with strange service and cursed with queer passions and wild hungers that i think none could fulfil and i am placed here in this cell and mocked and much wondered at i do not doubt but still my mind and my soul are my own which not all i have seen can say and i have ventured far more far than men might dream of so i make this book within my glass where none may look upon it less i allow it for only i have its print and key and i make it as a warning and confession so those who read its words will know that i have seen and spoken true and like that frozen knight i say do not go but i fear some shall through some dream or autumn door and mab alone knows if you have or will for in that place there is no other god but her christ have mercy on me what next in the words of joesky an adventure is on as the fearful scribe ventures into what they see as the fairy palace of queen mab crawling through its crypt visiting its courts speaking with gently its knights and ladies and trying as best he can to get back the missing children and go home well from the opening text you know they make it home but you don t know how or what they see how they are changed and who else makes it back with them this is queen mabs palace an adventure through a decaying dying space ship inhabited by crazed transhumanist radicals through the eyes of a medieval scribe the main text is done august is still working away on images we are getting quotes in and preparing for a kickstarter which should hopefully start around or maybe before autumn which seems appropriate for the queen of air and darkness gird your loins and batten down your marketing hatches expect to here me going on about this for a while read more posted by pjamesstuart at 07 06 11 comments email this blogthis share to...
