Why read it?
1 author picked In Conquest Born as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This complex sci-fi epic taught me the importance of forming my characters as people rather than puppets. Amid the setting of an endless war and the intricacies of its opposing factions it is the individuals who stand out in this novel. The war is a backdrop. The people are the story. Whatever chaos and calamity the author concocts—none of it matters unless it is felt by the characters, and the feelings of the characters don't matter unless the characters feel real to the reader.
From Arthur's list on showing you how to write scary sci-fi and fantasy.
