黑太阳 《黑日》是“天地之间”系列的惊艳开篇。这部小说以哥伦布发现美洲大陆之前的文化为背景，在原住民日之后出版，其精妙绝伦的结构令我忍不住将罗恩霍斯与诺拉·杰米辛和乔治·R·R·马丁相提并论。这是一个关于克制、反抗、动荡、残酷与爱的故事，《黑日》是一部沉郁而史诗般的梦境，也是我心目中2020年雨果奖和轨迹奖的首选。
Giving us the accounts of Xiala, a Teek boat captain possessed of magic, a secretive visually impaired man named Serapio that she is shipping to the city of Tova, Lord Okoa, a youngster who is sibling to the new top of the Carrion Crow faction, and a Sun cleric named Narapa, we see the climax of a heavenly prediction of the Sky Made groups that fixates on a striking day, the Day of Convergence, The convergence is an eclipse. The 神话 surrounding an eclipse in pre-Columbian America native cultures plays heavily in the story, making this fantasy stand out from the typical Euro-based fantasies. The crow is used as a symbol in this society. There are also giant crows, or corvids, that people fly on. Corvids are smart and loyal.
罗恩霍斯为我们展现了一个引人入胜的世界，那里有独特的社会、根深蒂固的偏见、渴望逆流而上、预示着叛乱的反叛者，以及令人不寒而栗的象征符号。希亚拉和塞拉皮奥之间错综复杂、强烈而又充满异域风情的联系，是本书最重要的部分之一。塞拉皮奥的残疾在小说中得到了精彩的刻画。此外，书中还巧妙地将土著双性人以及流动的性取向融入了托瓦文化。总而言之，这部小说内容极其丰富。我需要重读一遍，这足以说明我有多么喜爱它。
