The Snow Queen (Orbit Books)
政治と宗教が交錯する惑星で、王位継承、記憶、愛が複雑に絡み合う。冷たく見える支配の背後にある人間性を、心理と神話性の両面から掘り下げる。
作品情報
氷のような権力の背後で、記憶と愛が揺れ続ける。
惑星国家の権力構造と、そこに生きる人物たちの感情を重ね合わせたスペースオペラ。政治劇としての緊張感と、恋愛や喪失の感覚が同じ厚みで描かれる。

As beautiful as she was ancient, Arienrhod ruled Tiamat, whose twin suns circled the Stargate linking her world with the Empire. Now the Stargate was closing, heralding the end of Winter rule.
レビュー
-
The Snow Queen takes the Andersen tale & blows it up to epic proportions. Beautifully written, the characters come across as real people. Every character and situation add to the story. This is the 1st book in a trilogy. The 2nd book is World's End. The 3rd book is The Summer Queen and is the best in the trilogy - incredibly complex; Ms Vinge must have possessed when she wrote it! It is unbelievable that The Snoe Queen is now difficult to find & is not available as an ebook!

Read alone without reading other titles quite good otherwise more of the same and lost interest
-
Great novel - first of a 4 book series, though it's fine on its own. This one won the Hugo award when it was new. (Of the others in the series, the Summer Queen is also a must-read, the other two: World's End and Tangled Up in Blue are minor side-pieces).
