Afraid of letting go of what we are, in case we are nothing, and holding on so tight, we lose everything else.

Normally I start a book and read it to the end but with Imajica I would read a chapter and put it down, turning to another book.As I got deeper into the novel, the shocking twists and turns occurred frequently, thus amplifying the plot and scope and complexity in ways which did not feel orchestrated in any way whatsoever. Yeah, some people might be turned off by a sub-plot that involves a complex "gay" relationship, but seriously.

Later he moved towards modern-day fantasy and urban fantasy with horror elements in Weaveworld (1987), The Great and Secret Show (1989), the world-spanning Imajica (1991) and Sacrament (1996), bringing in the deeper, richer concepts of reality, the nature of the mind and dreams, and the power of words and memories.This is a book that deserves your attention and respect ~~ without being cluttered by someone else’s opinion. It sometimes feels like he has these dreams and wishes for characters that can never come true, because he has no control over their choices.

Un desarrollo de los personajes que hace imposible no involucrarse con ellos y una evolución de la historia en que cada pasaje, por más breve que sea, tiene un sentido en la obra total. pages is pretty hefty, but the sheer scale and amount of things that actually happen in those 800 pages consumed my entire life, and made me feel as though I'd just finished reading a trilogy. This book is absolutely brilliant, it's as complex as they get, very very strange, wonderfully written and just goes to show that Cliver Barker is one of the greatest imaginers of our times.

A book that encompasses the most conventional elements of the genre and mixes it with mature self-analysis, studies of religion and authority and government and the difficulties of personal relationships. There is so much here, such a rich universe painted by Barker with incredibly developed characters engaged in the most remarkable mythos, you won't be disappointed.Back on Earth, Judith meets up with Estabrook to find information about his brother, Oscar Godolphin.
