Fish Tails

Product Information

If you read this book, you'll be hit over the head with them several times per chapter - usually at length, and most often repeating comments made earlier - several times.

This means that each Fish Tail you collect is not only a valuable resource but also a symbolic trophy of your feats on the battlefield. In Fish Tails, two of Tepper's beloved characters-Abasio and Xulai (A Plague of Angels and The Waters Rising)-and their children travel from village to village scattered across the sparsely populated land of Tingawa. Chrome exhaust tail pipe deflector trim, popular accessory in the 1960s and 70s, used to deflect exhaust gases downwards, 180mm long x 115mm wide tapering to 45mm x 40mm deep, maximum tail pipe.Using the same methodology as the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), the Cornwall Good Seafood Guide rates fish on a sustainability scale 1 (best) to 5 (worst). I was also disturbed by the much increased use of machines -- by the Artemesians in particular as it seemed contrary to the philosophy they espoused in A Plague of Angels.

Tepper is a highly recommended fantasy novel with a message - alongside notable world building and character development. There could have been a pretty good book here but it is buried in words, words, words, and endless repetition.There are a lot of characters; it's not surprising that there's a little confusion - but usually it's the reader who's confused, not the author. Occasionally some of Tepper's distinctive creativity style comes through, but I can't stand this book and I hate that some will read this first and be turned off of Tepper completely. Tepper’s stories, it also clocks in at a hefty 700 pages, and there are many repetitious passages and long-winded speeches that could have been tightened up.
