| ppint. 14th Feb 2018 | Rated 8/10by nature more of a philosophical debate in a fantasy setting than a fantasy adventure, though set in a place somehow adjacent to the - forever repeating - events of "the worm ouroboros" (q.v.), investigating by argument (with references to the many worlds) the nature of life, conflict, love and the divine, this is an absorbing and rewarding read - if one can get over its not being in any ordinary sense a story - let alone a fantasy adventure with heroes, villains, struggles for worldly power, armed conflict, displays of magical powers with which to attack, defend or to otherwise gain advantage. . . this is also an aspect of the reward bestowed upon the philosopher-soldier-statesman and, above all, servant for the life he lived dedicated to her, by the goddess: as, indeed, the whole of this world of zimiamvia and all it contains may be, in fulfilment of her promise to him. not the easiest of reads, but one that informs "mistress of mistresses" (q.v.), the start of "the worm ouroboros" and the nature of its major characters, if not the events thereof (save, the ending), and what eddison achieved of his only very partially-composed intended major work, "the mezentian gate" (q.v.). 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
