Even on Earth Zero, Cara lives an in-between life her black skin and Ashtown heritage mark her as an outsider in the domed confines of glittering and exclusive Wiley City and may make impossible her dreams of romance with her beautiful handler, Dell. When Cara visits an Earth very different from her home, she makes discoveries that could change multiple worlds. Cara, who hails from a bleak wasteland dominated by sinister emperor Nik Nik, has died on almost every known world. Because interworld travel is lethal to would-be traversers who have “dops” still alive on the Earth they’re visiting, Eldridge employs “trash people” who have died on most other worlds and can therefore survive travel to other realities. In a desolate post-apocalyptic future, narrator Cara is a “traverser” for the Eldridge Institute of Earth Zero, which has discovered 382 alternate worlds. Johnson’s world-hopping debut uses science fictional tools and an exciting plot to address urgent questions of privilege and position. ![]() ![]() Not allowed to blame anything on them anymore. Of course Martha felt it, some of the time, wanted to cuddle such resentments, but then she would stop and give herself a talking-to. If only they'd encouraged me more if only they'd praised me for the right things.None of that. If only they'd been more indulgent if only they'd been more strict. If only they'd bought me roller-skates like they promised, if only they'd let me go out with David, if only they'd been different, more loving, richer, cleverer, simpler. Of course you did, there were times when it was just too tempting. Of course, it didn't apply if your parents had done something terrible - had raped and murdered you and stolen all your money and sold you into prostitution - but in the average course of an average life, if you were averagely competent and averagely intelligent, and more so if you were more so, then you were not allowed to blame your parents. ![]() ![]() And there was a logical consequence of this, which became part of Martha's creed: after the age of twenty-five, you were not allowed to blame anything on your parents. “As she grew up, as her character was built, as she became headstrong rather than pert, and clever enough to know when to hide her cleverness, as she discovered friends and social life and a new kind of loneliness, as she came from country to town and began amassing her future memories, she admitted her mothers's rule: they made their mistakes, now you make your mistakes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Within days after becoming shadow-lost, their bodies die. ![]() ![]() If they stray into the shade while Sunrunning, they become "shadow-lost" and their souls cannot find their way back to their bodies. Some Sunrunners eventually also learn to project themselves on the moonlight (though Sunrunners are forbidden to use starlight), as well, and fewer still learn to do more advanced conjuring, such as seeing the future and showing others images in fire. Eventually, they learn to project themselves on the sunlight, which is the activity called "Sunrunning," to watch events happening at a distance and communicate with other Sunrunners. The first thing young Sunrunners learn to do is what's referred to as "calling fire," which is to light a candle using just their thoughts. Primarily, Sunrunning involves light and fire. Sunrunning is the magic of this fantasy universe, though it can't be used for teleportation or to change the nature of objects or anything like a lot of fantasy magic can. The form that magic takes in the "Dragon Prince" universe is Sunrunning. I'm not sure how many times I've read his book at this point it is probably at least six, maybe even seven. "Dragon Prince" is one of those books that is like an old friend. ![]() |
