City of Diamond

Rating:
Summary: Well written but somewhat tedious
Review: Although it took over half the book to fully develop the intended plot, the political machinations were very well written and fun to compare to modern day political concerns. The unfortunate thing is that while the characters are interesting, they never have anything interesting to do. Plug these wonderful characters into a better plot and this author may have something special

Summary: Can't wait for more!
Review: An interesting and original work. Compelling characters who make you WANT to find out what's going to happen to themnext. Sufficient mystique to get you really curious and eager to solve the puzzling aspects...highly recommended.

Summary: =Super= book!
Review: Complex, well-realized cultures and characters, marvellously well written. I'm looking forward to the next one

Summary: Excellent! But Where Are The Other Two In The Series?

Summary: Waiting for the sequel
Review: For its genre, an excellent book. The characterisation was superb, especially that of Tal. The book did fall down a little on plot, especially the sub-plot with Adrian and his new wife, which I found at best rather nauseating - but perhaps that was because I found his character a bit too good to be true. On the other hand, the author did keep several sub-plots spinning, which are in the main successful and satisfactory. If I could write pulp-fiction, this is what I would want to write.
I assume the sequels are to be "City of Opal" and "City of Pearl", and I have been waiting for them to come out since I bought "Diamond" in 1998. Please publish them somebody!

Summary: Waiting for the sequel
Review: For its genre, and excellent book. The characterisation was good, the character of Tal being one of the most interesting I've come across yet. Falls down slightly on plot, especially the love plot between Adrian and his new wife which I found rather nauseating and pat. However, the author does keep several plots spinning at once, which is quite successful for the most part and makes the overal plot quite complex.
I assume there are two sequels, "City of Opal" and "City of Pearl" which I have been waiting for since buying "Diamond" in 1998. Will someone please print them and put them out of my misery???!!!

Summary: New Books by Ms.Emerson
Review: Great characters, especially Tal and the little princess. But how exactly the economy of these city-ships works? I would like to inform all the readers who loved Ms. Emerson's book "City of Diamond" that she also wrote under the name of DORIS EGAN the Books: "Ivory Gate" , "Two-bit Heroes", "Guilt edged Ivory". This trilogy was great too.
