The Long Price Quartet: Difference between revisions

The Quartet deals heavily with issues of racism, progress, sustainability, aging and love. The unusually large timeframe (the series spans nearly sixty years from the first chapter of [[A Shadow In Summer]] to the epilogue of [[The Price Of Spring]]) allows a very real look at how flawed people deal with family, responsibility and guilt. The issue of abuse of power is also prominent due to the world-spanning power of the Andat and, by association, the poets who wield them.

 

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The binding of new Andat becomes progressively more important to the plot as the series progresses.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|The Andat Seedless arranges for Heshai to perform an abortion on a young girl (who doesn't know what's happening thanks to a helpful language barrier) in hope of [[Driven to Suicide|driving Heshai to suicide]], thus releasing Seedless from his binding.}}
