Interpretation Supposing Books Hart's Hope
A dark and powerful fantasy from the bestselling author of Ender's Shadow. Enter the city of Hart's Hope, ruled by gods both powerful and indifferent, riddled with sorcery and revenge. The city was captured by a rebellious lord, Palicrovol, who overthrew the cruel king, Nasilee, hated by his people. Palicrovol, too, was cruel, as befitted a king. He took the true mantle of kinghood by forcing Asineth, now Queen by her father's death, to marry him, raping her to consummate the marriage. [But he was not cruel enough to rule.] He let her live after her humiliation; live to bear a daughter; live to return from exile and retake the throne of Hart's Hope. But she, in turn, sent Palicrovol into exile to breed a son who would, in the name of the God, take back the kingdom from its cruel Queen.Define Books Conducive To Hart's Hope

I discovered Hart's Hope by Orson Scott Card while reading a readers digest reference book written by Card. In it he discussed a variety of topics to help readers write their novels and he used his own experiences and writing as examples. Card is the author of the Ender's Game saga and a literary icon from what I've researched. It only made sense that I read his fantasy novel, to glean some hidden wisdom from his work. I definitely learned a lot from reading it. What I learned most was, though IThis book defies description. It must be one of the most underrated books in its genre, because it is so great I can't understand why it's not more well-known. As may be apparent from my book list, I'm a big fan of fantasy, but I'm also extremely picky and can't abide the Xena Warrior Princess nonsense that is so abundant on fantasy shelves. Orson Scott Card is just shy of Tolkien greatness. I love that this book doesn't hold your hand. You have to immerse yourself in the language and live with
"if only we could stand outside our lives and look at what we do, we might repair so many injuiries before they're done."When I was younger I considered this my favorite single OSC book (yes, even above Ender's Game). It's been many years since I've re-read it, and it wasn't quite able to hold on to that top position (yes, back to Ender's Game). I described the book to someone else on goodreads as:his most dark and yet most beautiful book.I think that description still stands. It's certainly

A good Card classic. Intricate, well thought out plot with strong well developed characters. A little graphic for my tastes...but hey.
On the one hand, I feel like perhaps, in order to rate a book I read decades ago, I should reread it. On the other hand, my wish to reread this book is right up there with my wish to lie naked in a pit of cockroaches.Heres the thing: when you write a twelve year old being publicly raped by the hero of the book, then called a whore and sent into exile, pregnant, and then want me NOT to cheer her on when she goes dark side and tears the fucking world down - well, sorry, friend. I dont give a good
This was a little strange for Orson Scott Card, but interesting all the same. Some parts were a little hard to read in all honosty. There did not need to be that much detail about bodily function and child bride. It is set in a different world and the past, however, so I can overlook it to an extent. That ending though.... What a way to leave it open.
