An avid reader of fantasy literature since age six, when she first made her way through The Lord of the Rings, Naomi Novik is also a history buff with a particular interest in the Napoleonic era and a fondness for the work of Patrick O’Brian and Jane Austen. She studied English literature at Brown University, and did graduate work in computer science at Columbia University before leaving to participate in the design and development of the computer game Neverwinter Nights: Shadow of Undrentide. Over the course of a brief winter sojourn spent working on the game in Edmonton, Canada (accompanied by a truly alarming coat that now lives brooding in the depths of her closet), she realized she preferred writing to programming, and on returning to New York, decided to try her hand at novels.
Naomi lives in New York City with her husband and six computers. Her website is at naominovik.com

读了小一半,我来找一找目前书中出现的元素: 1.龙抓少女的献祭仪式(类似《他是龙》那种) 2.五十度斯内普+速速石化 3.长发公主,和长发公主中用平底锅(书中为餐盘)敲王子头的梗 4.百合动不动就互相握手,互相拥抱,互相。。。 5.《金枝》中的五朔节树(书中的蜡烛树)加上各...
评分作为16年的星云奖获奖作品,这书自然是很吸引猫靴的。然而拜读过之后,有种“垂死梦中惊坐起,忘了星云有奇幻”的期待落差。估计有一部分人开始关注星云奖,可能还是从大刘《三体》被提名那会儿呢吧,于是便误以为星云奖=科幻作品的最高奖项。其实人家也包括奇幻的。喏,这本《...
评分《无根之木》是一部立世宝典(认真脸),有怎样的疑问,在读的过程中都能找到想要的答案。 生而为人,欲望总是源源不断,有时如泉水溪流,有时如江河大海……有时声声作响,有时奔腾咆哮(想笑)。 不知道是什么时候,我开始意识到,自己的性格在生活中产生诸多负面影响(比如...
评分每个人都要与自己的根和平相处 每个人都要与自己的根和平相处,不管这根是好的还是不好的,其实也就是我们的原生家庭、遗传性格,等等。没有谁可以强大到彻底抛弃自己的原有和过去,我们的现在不过都是建立在过去的基础之上的。讲和,不那么容易,但都是我们要做的妥协。生命...
评分文/望月听雪 《左传》云:“犹衣服之有冠冕,木水之有本原,民人之有谋主也。”又宋朝陆九渊《与曾宅之书》云:“今终日营营,如无根之木,无源之水,有采摘汲引之劳,而莹涸劳枯无常。”如若无本无源,无所依傍,却也易变化无常,失却初心了。 阿格涅什卡深爱她...

“Our Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and we’re grateful, but not that grateful.”
Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.
Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.
The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.
But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.
终于让我把这本书看完了,整体故事其实还不错,文笔也挺好的,但是女主和Dragon的感情线真的是让我几欲弃书。然后结局是个人与自然和谐相处的寓意么?好吧还说的过去,但是感觉真的没有很好看啊,所以为啥他能得星云奖呢,难道那年的提名作品都很差么...
评分虽然故事还行,但感觉也太YA了……某短评说这是「乡村女孩与斯内普不得不说的恋爱故事」,噗哈哈。
评分“乡村女孩与斯内普不得不说得恋爱故事"-“权力的游戏,只不过我们有更多的树和更少的雪,summer is coming”-”植树造林,环保大作“-“乡村女孩与斯内普不得不说得恋爱故事"
评分看到第五章,弃了。生命太短暂了,还是看点好看的书吧。||终于看完了第一章,看两页就忍不住要去看点别的,因为好难看啊!第一章太YA了,简直是我看过的最YA的小说,什么饥饿游戏之类的在它面前都要下跪了。女主真是讨人嫌啊!男主也莫名其妙。希望后面能好看些。
评分就是个很玛丽苏的故事,这个作者行文琐碎,角色缺乏魅力,陛下的龙那套也是,不是哪儿讨厌,就是很快会进读下去与否都无所谓的干巴状态。
