Which is, again, fantastic: yet have to read the book 3.
The characters are fabulously well written, the story fascinating, the translation (italian) seems so flowing, from the japanese.
Quite ruined it by watching the trailer: "1Q84: A Documentary", as the figures I'd imagined to myself are quite more appealing lol.

In the meantime I've read "The Sword of Rhiannon", (Brackett) a clean and poetic space opera. It would be nice to check "Sea-Kings of Mars":

The novel was first published in the June 1949 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories as "Sea-Kings of Mars". Its first book publication was in the early Ace Double D-36 with Conan the Conqueror by Robert E. Howard.

which is, if I'd understood, its first, shortened published version.

And ‘imagination’ is quite the word: whatever Brackett learned from Edgar Rice Burroughs, she transformed, making the micro-genre of the planetary romance her own.

Now on hers "The Long Tomorrow", which will be followed by "The Secret of Sinharat" and "People of the Talisman".
