divadiane 's review for:
To Ride Hell's Chasm
by Janny Wurts
What a dense book! Almost 700 pages that take place in only a few days. I started reading it several years ago, I think while my son was still very small (he's now 6) and abandoned it for whatever reason. Maybe because I couldn't give it the attention it demanded at the time. Then my husband asked for a recommendation. When he caught up to where I had left off (strangely 450 pages in!) we switched to reading it aloud.
I'm not sure this was the best method for this book, but we did really enjoy it. As a musician, I especially loved the final chapter where singing plays a major role. A very satisfying ending to a wonderful book!
One quibble: one "desert-bred" or maybe two to describe the main character would have been enough. Rather no descriptive adjective at all than every other one "the desert-bred captain" or some such.
