“Our Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and we’re grateful, but not that grateful.”
Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.
Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.
The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.
But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.
An avid reader of fantasy literature since age six, when she first made her way through The Lord of the Rings, Naomi Novik is also a history buff with a particular interest in the Napoleonic era and a fondness for the work of Patrick O’Brian and Jane Austen. She studied English literature at Brown University, and did graduate work in computer science at Columbia University before leaving to participate in the design and development of the computer game Neverwinter Nights: Shadow of Undrentide. Over the course of a brief winter sojourn spent working on the game in Edmonton, Canada (accompanied by a truly alarming coat that now lives brooding in the depths of her closet), she realized she preferred writing to programming, and on returning to New York, decided to try her hand at novels.
Naomi lives in New York City with her husband and six computers. Her website is at naominovik.com
這樣白蓮花+綠茶婊真的可以麼。。。“鄉村女孩和斯內普不得不說的愛情故事”真是中肯的評價。。。星雲奬的口味啥時候成這樣瞭?!!
評分不是很懂這個套路為甚麼可以是星雲奬,題材保護大自然麼?Wood描述得太可怕瞭,女主的技能太bug瞭,Dragon抓瞭這麼多年的妹子,還是這麼智障啊,不能忍。要不是買瞭小姐姐朗讀的AB我真要棄…
評分Astolat巨巨的星雲奬===看瞭三分之一依然有些搞不懂主題,感覺主角背景水很深,可是我猜不齣,ps11章纔有情感進展===奔潰瞭,看到70%瞭我還是不太理解為什麼能拿奬
評分Everybody will need his/her root, and I like you, mr Dragon.

作为16年的星云奖获奖作品,这书自然是很吸引猫靴的。然而拜读过之后,有种“垂死梦中惊坐起,忘了星云有奇幻”的期待落差。估计有一部分人开始关注星云奖,可能还是从大刘《三体》被提名那会儿呢吧,于是便误以为星云奖=科幻作品的最高奖项。其实人家也包括奇幻的。喏,这本《...
評分虽然有些玛丽苏,但还是好看! 虽然是童话但非常残酷,角色该死就死,主角一步步失去更多,冲突营造的非常好。喜欢女主角的性格。 对如何使用魔法的诠释很新奇,值得记录: “那只是一种——行为方式,并没有一成不变的做法。”我向他的笔记示意。“你是在完全没有路的环境下,...
