Shelves: ya, fantasy

The City in the Lake, with a subtly dreamlike feel and fluid magic, walks a thin line between fantasy and fairy tale. The story itself reminds faintly of Tam Lin -- a prince goes missing (kidnapped by a queen of fairy, perhaps?) and Timou, a mage's daughter, sets off to find him. But I wouldn't say this is a retelling, rather an original story strongly flavored with folklore. Much of it, such as the wild hunter, is seems of European origin, but bits and pieces, such as the talking serpent Timou...more

“THE KINGDOM’S HEART is the city. The City’s heart is the King. The King’s heart is the Prince. The Prince is missing.” From the moment the prince went missing, the whole kingdom is in disarray. From the heart of the kingdom to its outskirts, infants are born dead or dying. When Timou’s father, a mage, journeys to the City and never returns, Timou decides to go after him. She travels to the kingdom’s heart and there she faces powers much greater than her own and unravels the truth of her birth...more

Once upon a time...

OK, it doesn't really start that way, but it could as well have.
We're transported in a magical enchanted land with mages and kings and princes and a talking snake oh, and death personified as the Hunter.
The good guys are good and the bads guys are bad, and the ones that don't fit into the good or bad category but somewhere in the middle, like that snake I was telling about and the Hunter.
Overall, it's a nice fairy tale without any unicorns or dragons, it has a beginning where...more

A complete fantasy story in less than 300 pages. I was very impressed with how concise this was, without leaving anything out. Beautiful descriptions, real emotions and interesting magic. I recommend it for fantasy fans middle school and up. Some strong upper elementary readers may enjoy this as well.

I picked it up after reading the first paragraph on the inside jacket flap:

"The Kingdom's heart is the City. The City's heart is the King. The King's heart is the Prince. The prince is missing."

I'm glad I didn't read the back instead. This was all I needed to pick the book up.

It reads like a first novel -- heavy-handed, at times -- and it's marketed as young adult (I hate venturing into my library's Teen Zone when there are actual teenagers in the area... somehow I feel lame in their presence, but it was worth it this time), but there are some dreamy passages, and the way the the world is shaped -- it's stripped down to the poetic essentials.

An excerpt near the beginning:

"At that moment the exotic lilies carved into the Bridge, crumbling with age, look whole and alive in the moving light and cerulean shadows.

"But after darkness falls, it will be the tigers of the Bridge that look real and alive. They shake themselves out of stone and come down from their pedestals, the lambent fires of sunset in their eyes, to stalk on great velvet paws through the night -- so it is said."

And then when someone visits the Bridge:

"He turned away from the Bridge, pausing for a brief moment to study the stone tigers before walking away. They were still stone under his gaze. After he turned his head...who knew what they might become? The Bastard walked back across the City to the Palace. Once he might have heard the soft pad of a great cat, but though he stopped in the street to look patiently into the dark for one shadow softer-footed and more dangerous than others to separate itself from the night, he saw nothing."

There are subtle emotions and grand, mythic-level figures of sorcery. There are multiple perspectives, and despite myself I was drawn into every one of them. (One in particular.) I give this book a five not because it's perfect, but because it hit my buttons in the right places: dreamy and complicated in just the right combination.(less)

I'm a rabid fan of stand-alone YA. I think that too often, YA are books which depend on their prequel or sequel. I have nothing against series of books (Harry Potter, Kristin Cashore - yes please!) I just prefer that they stand on their own, with a distinct beginning, middle, and most of all, end.

Neumeier's novel absolutely achieves that goal.

But I loved the book on its own merits, too, apart from my personal requirements for novels.

Neumeier's writing consists of nearly poetic language, though...more

A beautiful, elegiac fantasy tale that is refreshingly small-scale and intimate, focusing on only a handful of main characters (with tiny entourages of supporting characters each). As all the reviews have mentioned, the writing is beautiful and lush but not so description-heavy (or high fantasy trope-heavy) as to put off readers not as familiar with the genre. In fact, the way the story is extremely grounded in our young heroine's POV should make it very accessible to all YA readers.

This is an interesting fantasy story. A fairy tale, really. I found the unrestrained magic and wonder of the land in this multi-tiered kingdom to be the most intriguing part of the book. The pacing is somewhat sedate for much of the book, almost dream-like. The part when the villain makes her entrance gains some momentum, and that carries the book toward the finale rather well. Kudos to the author for daring to have a really irredeemable villain in a story for younger readers. The fact that the...more

The City in the Lake is a quest-type YA fantasy novel. The whole kingdom starts to fall apart with the disappearance of the young Prince. Magic starts to go awry and mages have no idea why. Timou is a young woman raised by her mage father in an isolated village. When trouble reaches even their remote area, her father goes back to the city to investigate. When he doesn't return, it's up to Timou to discover what happened and she knows that her quest is tied with her search for the mother that she never knew. I'm going to start with the things that I liked in this book. It was easy to fall into the world created by Rachel Neumeier, I didn't have a hard time reading this book. I liked both Timou and the Bastard as characters, which is a good thing since the point of view of the story changes from one character to another. Timou isn't your typical YA fantasy heroine because her strength lies in her powers as a mage. I enjoyed being inside Timou's head because I think the author did a good job of portraying how a mage's mind works - how a mage sees his or her surroundings and how that is tied to the magic in the world. I also liked the Bastard because he was such a subtle character - he's powerful in his own way and the people aren't sure what to make of him, they don't understand whether he's good or evil and if he has anything to do with the disappearance of his half-brother.

However, I was already halfway through the book when I realized that it wasn't as compelling as I would've liked. I kept waiting to be blown away but it just didn't happen. It's really a shame because when I think about it, there isn't anything wrong with the book, it's just that I didn't feel like it was strong enough to pull me in and hold me, you know? I knew it wouldn't have much staying power and I guess I was right because it's been a few days since I've read this and I can't recall all of the details anymore. I don't know if it's because my expectations were too high but I'm sad that I didn't like it as much as I was hoping to. As always, I encourage the rest of you epic fantasy readers to give this one a try even if I had a lukewarm reaction to it because based on the other reviews that I linked below, I'm in the minority with how I felt.(less)

Beautiful prose, reminiscent of McKillip but more grounded in the everyday; some genuinely disturbing fairytale moments; an interesting plot that more or less coheres. The two great problems with this book are (a) its villain, who is evil and manipulative because she is evil and manipulative, and that's pretty much all we get; and (b) the ending, which is tidy to the point of glibness and rather left me with the impression that I was watching the marionettes gather for one final curtsey.

I first read The City in the Lake last summer and instantly fell in love. Neumeier’s style in this particular book is rich and flowing, reminiscent of Robin McKinley’s prose. The book reads heavily though, and it wasn’t always easy to absorb. Most of the characters rarely say what they mean outright, so the reader has to do some interpretation between the lines.

Timou lives a quiet life in her village alongside her friends, learning to be a mage under the tutelage of her father. But when the Prince disappears, her quiet life is disturbed in ways she never imagined as something cruel and powerful seeps into the Kingdom and its magic. After her father heads for the City to put the Kingdom to rights and doesn’t return, Timou knows she must follow him. Soon Timou will confront her heritage and the mother she never knew. Timou may hold the key to returning the Kingdom to how it’s supposed to be.

This is the second book I’ve read by Rachel Neumeier, and now I am fully convinced that she can do no wrong when it comes to fantasy writing. Neumeier builds her world through lush descriptions of the City and its true counterpart in the Lake, the great forest and its mysteries, and the tiny village Timou grew up in. The reader is instantly transported into all of these settings so effortlessly that one doesn’t even notice falling into such a strange and beautiful world.

And Timou! Oh, lovely, solemn Timou. Timou is not a flashy heroine, one who swoops in armed with weapons to battle whatever foe stands in her way. No, Timou studies the world around her, finding stillness in her heart so she can observe patterns and understand truths. Timou’s journey is a quiet, dangerous one filled with introspection and discovery of who she is, what powers she holds, and what choices her parents have made.

No fantasy is complete without a fantastic cast of characters, and Neumeier truly delivers on this front. From the wry, clever Lord Bastard Neill to the lovable Prince Cassiel to the steadfast and brave Jonas to the cruel and powerful Lelienne, every character is unique and plays an important role in the telling of the story.

Speaking of Jonas, the romance of the story is done in the kind of quiet, perfect way that I love and adore. There is the slow falling, and the discovery of someone meaning something more. Neumeier is so skilled that none of this needs to be explained explicitly; it’s simply a natural occurrence that is understood to be the right thing for these characters.

Overall impression:
The City in the Lake is a beautiful fantasy novel with lyrical writing, strong characters, and excellent world-building.(less)

New life is stillborn, and there is a shadow that lies across everything. Everyone in the Kingdom can feel it.

Timou, in her remote village, can feel it too. Solemn, strange Timou, daughter of the mage Kapoen, has trained at her father's side for her entire life, and she can feel the wrongness pressing in on her like invisible eyes on her back. When her father travels to the Kingdom to investigate and doesn't return, Timou knows that she has to seek out the truth--even if it means leaving behind everything she loves and understands. Even if it means confronting terrifying truths about her heritage.

This book is stunning. No real words can do it justice. Let me just say that up front. It reminds me of Robin McKinley's Deerskin and The Blue Sword, or of some of Patricia McKillip's work. It's lush and dreamy and gorgeous, but never so lush that it bores you with description.

I'm a speed-reader, which means that most of the time I auto-skim books. This book made me slow down and savor every word.

I love Timou. She's a wonderful protagonist--she's different, and powerful, but never Mary-Sue-ish about it. And I love even more Lord Neill, the Bastard, who manages to break my heart in just a few short chapters. Rachel Neumeier, you are a genius and I applaud you.

I love the sparseness of the prose. The way it says so much with so few words. There are scenes that are mere paragraphs, but I had to read them over and over again because of the weight of emotion that they carried. There were moments that made my breath catch in my chest. There were moments, in this slim little book, that I felt the fear and terror of the moment so much I could barely turn the page.

I love the ideas in this book. I love how they are interwoven so gracefully with the plot--they don't leap out at you, shouting and yelling, "here I am--look how clever I am!"--they're subtle and fascinating and take root in your mind, so that you can't help but turn them over and over again.

This is the kind of book I have always wanted to write, and the kind of book that I have, for as long as I can remember, always wanted to read. From the opening paragraphs to the last scene, I loved everything about this book. It still haunts me, the Kingdom and the City and its stone tigers.

I think this book will haunt me for a long, long time.(less)

This is a gorgeous book and in a lot of ways reminds me of early Patricia McKillip in it's style. It's a definite fairy tale, but is well told and beautiful to read. I, sadly, devoured it in one gigantic bite so will probably have to reread it again someday. It was just the perfect story for me at this moment in time... a cold Sunday morning in winter.

This was also the 100th book I read in 2008. I have to create a new goal for myself.

A sweet and mystical fantasy that felt like an early Patrica A. McKillip story. Prettily written with a couple of decent protagonists and a big, bad evil that will soon smother their world.

All in all I quite liked this book but felt some of the characters fell a bit flat. I wasn't interested in Jonas at all and I wanted to know more about the dark Hunter.

But a valiant attempt and one that I quite appreciated it.

Felt this one sort of fell apart halfway through--the interesting elements of the premise and prose were totally overshadowed by the use of a very cliched antagonist. The comparisons to McKillip's writings are apt, though McKillip's prose is still prettier; Neumeier's characters also aren't as interestingly offbeat as some of McKillip's best. All in all, I wasn't overly impressed by this novel, but it was promising enough that I'll probably investigate Neumeier's future work.
