Product Description

Book Description

A whisperjewel summoned him to Worlorn, and a love he thought he’d lost. But Worlorn isn’t the world Dirk t’Larien imagined, and Gwen Delvano is no longer the woman he once knew. She is bound to another man, and to a dying planet that is trapped in twilight, forever falling toward night. Amid this bleak landscape is a violent clash of cultures in which there is no code of honor—and the hunter and the hunted are often interchangeable.

Caught up in a dangerous triangle, Gwen is in need of Dirk’s protection, and he will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means challenging the barbaric man who has claimed her—and his cunning cohort. But an impenetrable veil of secrecy surrounds them all, and it’s becoming impossible for Dirk to distinguish between his allies and his enemies. While each will fight to stay alive, one is waiting for escape, one for revenge, and another for a brutal, untimely demise.


From the Trade Paperback edition.

About the Author

GEORGE R. R. MARTIN sold his first story in 1971 and has been writing professionally since then. He spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer-producer, working on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid '90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he's allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris, a big white dog called Mischa, and two cats named Augustus and Caligula, who think they run the place.?

This review is from: Dying of the Light (Hardcover)
Regret can control your life. Dying of the light is a story of a lost love and an empire built in the lovers separation. The main way George R.R. Martin tells his story is through an amazing amount of symbolism. Symbolism exists in every story, but this tale clearly is referring to lost love. This story is incredibly descriptive and I couldn't see it any other way. Through his description of the planet and the shape the planet is in you can immediately connect the story of the lovers to the story of the planet. Another symbolic message is how the planet relates to all of love in general. The following paragraphs will further explain my reasoning.

Although love can be wonderful it is a fleeting feeling. And that is what Martin is trying to say. Worlorn is a symbol of the story of the lovers Dirk and Gwen. Worlorn used to be a bright world where tourists would flock and enjoy themselves. Gwen and Dirk used to be in a bright world that their love ruled their lives much like the story of Worlorn. Despite the seemingly bright future of this land, it eventually turned dark little by little just like the lovers fate. The ancient traditions of the Kavalar became more and more prominent and that led to a new way in the entire world. And with the acceptance of Gwen into the Kavalar ways she lost all tradition of her life before.

Love is a battle field. You can relate war to love in many ways. The great wars of Worlorn are a prime example of Martin's symbolism. Worlorn is a rouge planet that belongs to a planetary system that is only habitable for a short time. Love is the same in many ways. Love can last for a short time even though it may seem to have a promising future. All would agree with me when I say that love is a rogue planet. And the planet being unpopulated is saying that that love is a very rarely populated feeling.

Love and regret come hand in hand and that's what Martin was trying to show. He directly showed this through the lovers and indirectly through the story of the planet. Over all, this book had an excellent amount of symbolism but was lacking in interest for the reader.
