In which Tarl Cabot learns much of the Kurii
In which Tarl Cabot learns much of the Kurii and obtains a Kajira and a sleen.
Wow, so much story, so little rhetoric. One does not need to read Prize of Gor to enjoy this book. I cant review Kur very well without spoilers so Ill just do brief book jacket teaser
Kur of Gor, in which we hear a tale told by an unknown, probably Kur, narrator: Tarl Cabot runs afoul of agents of the Priest Kings who have outlawed him for his rescue of Half-Ear the Kur War General in the Gorean North. As is expected of those who once shared Paga, the favor is returned and Tarl learns much of the Kurii, obtains a slave, a sleen, makes friends, and has many grand adventures.
The narration style is coherent, not head-hopping 1st to 3rd confusion like Prize, and justified because Tarl could not have written this story down. The Narrator allows Tarl to tell most of the story in his usual style, but he tells the story and influences it with his viewpoint. It does occasionally cross the line where the Narrator knows what Tarl is thinking, something he could not know, but it is done well enough that it doesnt bother me at all.
Kur is mostly adventure, and a real delight. This was written in 2009 long after the blacklisting issue was behind the author. He returns to his main character in all his introspective, brooding self-analysis, and introduces many new characters and ideas.
NOTE: He does attempt, rather stumblingly in my opinion, to address the RAPE issues in Prize. In his (via Tarl) own words, One can not refute nonsense. He fails to make any real rhetorical point but does not re-offend and drops the subject much to my relief. Im apposed to censorship. Prize must stand as it is, but one does not need to read it to continue. Prize can be skipped or skimmed if you have hard copy or one can jump from chapter to chapter in the audio book. It is torture and other then buying a copy to own the entire series, there is nothing to recommend one bother with it at all. If you skip Prize, and I recommend that you do, the issues one needs to know are hardly spoilers. I suggest that one skip listening to Prize and continue with this book, but buying Prize to complete the set would not be a mistake. If you are going to read Prize, please DO NOT READ the final paragraph.
Kur of Gor is a return to Tarl Cabots adventures, well written, and with more adventure then rhetoric.
