The True Game Series

Warning: get ready to commit if you enjoy this stories; The True Game series is not just a trilogy, it's a trilogy of trilogies. This unique delivery of her story, comprising of a short novels instead of longer ones, makes for a pleasurable, if different reading experience. Each of the novels follows a certain character, with the second two series centering on female characters Jinian and Mavin (the first centers on the coming of age of the boy Peter, Mavin's son). A self-described ‘eco-feminist', her work is concerned with both of these themes, and without giving too much away from the story, the novels could also be considered crossing over to science fiction. In her world, the Lands of the True Game, humans have developed various abilities, such as shapeshifting, the ability to see the future, and telepathy, just to name a few. Wizards also exist in this world in which the characters must play games in order to survive.While the first series could benefit from a tighter writing style, Tepper's world and imagination truly shines, drawing readers in for more.Read if You Like: magic, wizards, space exploration
