Diane Duane, Interim Errantry 2 - On Ordeal: Mamvish fsh Wimsih

Auch beim dritten (oder vierten?) Wiederlesen verliert das Buch nicht an Zauber. Besonders schön fand ich, wie Duane die langen Perioden, in denen Vish nur unterwegs ist, mit formelhaften Wiederholungen wie im Märchen überbrückt und damit das Buch verkürzt ohne dass der Eindruck von Vishs unglaublicher Leistung verloren geht. 'And so on Vish went under the wide sky, and seasons came and went over and around her through another year and two years and five years and ten...' Immer wieder schön auch dieses Mal der Anfang, von ihrem ersten Bewußtsein bis zur Geburt/Schlupf.

There would probably be some who'd say it was a miracle that lie had managed to burgeon there at all... except that life, as we know, usually finds a way without waiting around for miracles.

One may care and do a good job of it, and yet have all things otherwise seem the same, said Podrist. Sometimes the only way you would know otherwise is by comparing with how things would be if no care was being taken.
