Иначе за Soldier Son, ще е интересно дали Робин се е повлияла от факта, че много фенове са недоволни от тази поредица, и дали това би я спряло да пише за по-близки до реалния свят проблеми за в бъдеще (obesity, изсичане на горите, унищожаване на чужди култури и тн).
Някъде четох, че Робин Хоб е сменила издателя си точно заради Soldier Son. Доколкото си спомням, убеждавали са я, че главният герой в една фентъзи история не можел да е с наднормено тегло. Много добра проява на характер от нейна страна.
Ти формулира много хубав въпрос към нея всъщност.
Доста различни са мненията сред феновете и за Cloven Hooves, която тя пише с псевдонима Меган Линдхолм. Не съм чела още тази й книга, но четох ревюта и синопсис - проблемите май също са близки до реалния свят (отчуждение, дирене на смисъл и цел, невъзможност да се впишеш), а оценките са разнообразни. Излязла е доста преди Soldier Son.

SFFW: What background/research reading did you do in preparation for writing the Soldier Son Trilogy and how did it differ from what you’ve done in the past?
RH: I’ve discovered over the years that researching for one book often plants the seeds that become the next book. So, a lot of reading that I did about disease years ago incubated, and that becomes one of the ideas for Shaman’s Crossing. I read “Science Weekly” on a regular basis, and they had an article on a virus, also years ago, that got me wondering in a different direction. Deliberate research that I did for this book included Queen Victoria’s Little Wars and Mr. Kipling’s Army. I read a number of articles on how various military academies around the world were founded and operated. I read sections of several books on the early formation of the US Cavalry. I re-read some of Kipling’s works. Well, that gives you a sampling. I knew midway through Golden Fool that Soldier Son would be my next work, so I’ve been reading and jotting down notes for several years now. The thing about researching for a fantasy is that you get to collect all the best bits, and then you can joggle things a bit to make them fit your world. The writer isn’t locked into any exact period of history or a ‘this is the way it was in our world, so it must be exactly that way in my fantasy world.’ But it does give the writer a solid idea of why things went the way they did, and if you are going to diverge widely from history, it’s a good idea to know why things are so different in your fantasy world.
