Get Access My Sisters Song Written By Gail Carriger Accessible As Hardcover
warrior Mithra must repel a Roman legion alone and armed only with a very peculiar weapon, To protect her lands and her tribe, Mithra comes up with a sticky solution to an impossible problem, Written in, this short story was New York Times Bestselling author Gail Carrigers first professional sale, Not my favourite by this author, I had a difficult time imagining the way things looked and the plot was obvious, Still a fun read though!pages, Interesting but just very short, Interesting short story. A little quirky but that's Gail, Love that I learned some history too, I'm glad Carriger's writing since this story fromhas drastically improved, because My Sister's Song is overwhelmingly infodumpy and not at all compelling, More Romans! This time poisoned by extremely smart, quick thinking Greek warrior women, Love it. I'm not going to remember anything about this short story, or even that I read this short story, a week from now, I enjoyed this short story from Carriger, I got into the plot quickly, and loved the action and the way people could be different things regardless of gender,inInterestingly enough this actually has some historical fact woven into the story, Still the world building was rushed, the characters wooden, and the plot overly simplified, Maybe I just went into it expecting the richness and depth of Carriger's Parasol series which is just not possible in a short story format.
I enjoyed this short piece by one of my favourite authors, I was terribly sad to discover that the Hives referenced on the cover referred to bee hives and not vampire hives,
A very creative, very short story, Worth picking up if you like fantasy, Such a great story, sadly it was a short one, I hope Gail decides to write more stories about Mithra and her people in the future, An interesting little story, made more so by discovering that the basis of the story was historically correct, This was quite a departure for Carriger, I am used to her steampunk/paranormal tales, but this was more like a myth or fable, The foreshadowing was a bit obvious, so there were no surprises as far as plot goes, but Carrigers writing style is lovely to read so I didnt mind in the slightest.
I was happy to stumble upon this little gem and will quickly blow through the rest I found along with this one,
You've got to love such a clever, historical tale as this, Defeating the Romans for the win, As usual with Carriger, the writing is on point, the historical context deliciously interesting and the plot both fun and engaging,
I'd have loved to read more about Mithra and her people, Die Idee, wie die Römer besiegt werden, finde ich extrem großartig! Vor allem, weil es anscheinend auf einer wahren Begebenheit beruht,
Gail Carriger hat es dann noch geschafft, ihre eigene Magie in die Erzählung zu bringen, die mir trotz der Kürze unglaublich gut gefallen hat.
Mit diesen Figuren und dem Weltenbau könnte ich mir sehr gut einige längere Geschichten vorstellen! The
premise was intriguing, but the delivery was flat and terrible.
Its hard for me to give anything but a glowing review to anything Gail Carriger has written, but this one just did not do it for me.
As a shortstory, it failed, It was confusing, choppy, and over too quickly, While I know that shorts dont usually allow for an author to give weight to their characters, this one was too fleeting and formless, I cant even really remember the names of the two main characters the sisters and I just finished reading it two minutes ago!
As a publication, this was terrible.
Im showing that there werepages, which means that probablywere actual story content, In those presumedpages, I counted seven glaring problems,
As hilt it was, my duty to stay
The attack faired better then I had expected, doublewhammy, that
The best thing, we found, was to role under, or force
.
. . our numbers halved, two of us been badly wounded,
It is a warriors place to loose companions,
”Honey!” I spoke the thought allowed, and into silence.
It began to loose momentum,
Yes, mistakes happen, and its rare to find any kind of errorfree publication, but this was beyond unacceptable, I cant tell you how distracting these errors were, And this is after I finished a book in which the author continuously used the wrong name for a character! I was able to see past that though it did frustrate me, okay, but thesewell, it just felt sloppy, and left me feeling disappointed.
I appreciated the Authors Note at the end, lending a bit of credibility to the story itself, but that was probably the only bright spot in this short story.
Im sorry to do it, but I cant recommend this to anybody, Not even for I still love Ms. Carriger, and believe in her literary genius, but this is just a nono, No NO! It was an interesting, quick read especially since it's based on fact concerning the 'Mad Honey', A short story set in the time of the Roman conquest, featuring a beecharming sister and an intriguing and apparently historically based solution to fight the invaders! Too bad Ms.
Carriger hasn't turned this into a full book could be fun! Gail Carriger's first professionally published piece is so much different than anything else I've had the opportunity to read by her, but this historical fantasy short story is still worth trying if you're interested in her work and ancient Romans.
A well written short story set on the edge of the Roman Empire based on a good knowledge of history,
Most of what I have read of Gail Carriger's work has been some form of comedy some more serious than others and some very serious moments, but always with a bit of humour to liven things up.
This was straight Historical Fiction, and she did such a good job that I would love to read more of it that said I'm still hoping for more SF she did a good job there too.
I had no idea that Gail Carriger had an MSc in Archaeological Materials, I've got to say that it hasn't really come up in her Victorian or Far Future tales, but reading this I was noticing quite a few little details being mentioned which impressed me, having studied Archaeology many moons ago side note: knowing actual history worked as a spoiler for me but the way she worked things was excellent.
Then I got to the authors note and it mentioned the MSc, . . wow respect to Ms Carriger, they don't just hand those out, I absolutely love Gails amazing tale of warrior women fighting to protect their village from Roman invasion, Tons of feminist girl power and all based on historical fact!
