Fish Tails

Product Information

If you read this book, you'll be hit over the head with them several times per chapter - usually at length, and most often repeating comments made earlier - several times. At first, I thought that the near-duplication of conversations could be a failure of editing, but I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that it could be a deliberate, meta-fictional technique to emphasize the cyclical nature of our public discussions while also reflecting the familiarity of the material in Tepper's oeuvre. Fish Tails are an exceptional material that can be obtained by defeating various sea creatures in the game.

The Swedish Fish Tails give you two of their awesome flavours in each sweet; these include blue raspberry with strawberry, raspberry with mango and watermelon with pineapple. Raising the Stones is one of my favorites, a strong blend of plot, character, and Tepper's unique imagination.g., reference to an Oracle database) - so much so that it has the feel of a Sheri Tepper-Piers Anthony collaboration - and not in a good way. Fish Tails is a picaresque escapade of sorts that follows the protagonists of The Waters Rising as they travel through their world to spread warnings of an impending watery apocalypse. In spite of all my library juju, I've never been able to lay my hands on, let alone read the Mavin or the Jinian books. This will not be in my list of favorites with The Revenants, Grass, and The Gate to Women's Country.

The 12-year-old genius, Needly, acts and thinks through the voice of an 'old woman', and sure she has wisdom but that aspect is lost because 'the voice' in which her character is written is all wrong. While I'm on board with some of Tepper's ideas, I can't go along with this one, and it pervades the book without (as in The Gate to Women's Country) being a core theme or plot point.

I suggest you pass it by, and come back in a few years when they issue a revised (read 'edited') version.
