Interpretation To Books Wraeththu (Wraeththu #1-3)
In this powerful and elegant story set in a future Earth very different from our own, a new kind of human has evolved to challenge the dominion of Homo sapiens. This new breed is stronger, smarter, and far more beautiful than their parent race, and are endowed with psychic as well as physical gifts. They are destined to supplant humanity as we know it, but humanity won't die without a struggle.Here at last in a single volume are all three of Constantine's Wraeththu trilogy: The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit, The Bewitchments of Love and Hate, and The Fulfilments of Fate and Desire.

I am usually not into the fantasy genre. My friend suggested this book to me, and basically made me read it. Thank God she did! This book is absolutely stunning. It deals with some big ideals, mainly the need for both male and female in the world, but it's a gorgeous story. I became so attached to the characters that I actually sometimes found myself talking out loud to them as I read (not in a needing prozac kind of way, but in a 'Oh Cal, why would you do that?' kind of way). Because of my love(Re-posted from http://theturnedbrain.blogspot.com)So whenever I think about how "good" a book is there always appears in my mind a spectrum. On one end we have PLOT and on the other end there is CHARACTER. I feel like the books that could most objectively be called "the best" fall right smack in the middle of these two things, a perfect mix of plot and characters. But to be honest the books I love best tend to be way unbalanced, in favour of the character side of things. Objectively I can admit
A classic fantasy trilogy that I remember thoroughly enjoying when it originally appeared. Twenty years later, this trilogy is still a fantastic read.These books are very hard to find, and I wish Id kept my copies, since I remember loving them at the time. Men who get pregnant! I wonder what I would think of these books now?
There's really not a whole lot of good about these books. While the premise itself is compelling, its execution is nonsensical and offensive. The plot is meandering at best, and the characters are mewling, saccharine things with haphazard and inconsistent characterizations. The writing style itself is dry with a lot of strangely placed commas, and while Constantine's dialogue has improved to "serviceable" by the end of the third book, it remains stilted and unconvincing.I picked up the text out
This book is why I love goodreads. It's not in my library. If I'd seen it in a bookshop the cover and the back blurb would not have caught my interest. But because it kept appearing in lists on goodreads that other books I enjoyed were on, I noticed it, read reviews on goodreads and decided to read the book. And really enjoyed it. Like I found and enjoyed Mind Fuck before this one. I think my days of aimlessly wandering the library isles, after finishing up all the books of yet another writer,
I read this book when it was new, years ago and I still remember it vividly, which is normally a great thing, that your characters and stories are remembered. HOWEVER, the jury is still out over a decade later if I liked it or if I read something that was written on a LSD trip. I know I didn't like the break up of the sections written in first person between three different characters. The Biology/Physiology is well, laughable. That could have certainly undergone some more research to make a
I want to call this a dystopia or an apocalyptic novel, but I'm not sure that it fits either definition. For man, it is certainly a cautionary tale, but it's not the story of man. It's the story of the Wraeththu, who evolve from and are torn from the last generation of man. It's a bloody rebirth or step in evolution. A chance to re-invent what is the best and worst of human, no harish, nature. This was an omnibus edition of the first three books of the Wraeththu, but I can't imagine reading them
