Title: Very pleasantly surprised!
Product review: I'm normally a scifi reader rather than fantasy, but my wife picked this up for me in a used bookstore so I gave it a try. I certainly wasn't prepared for how enjoyable and interesting this story was!It's really a mixture of fantasy and science fiction, and dwells on the debate of faith vs. reason. I found the writing superb as well, sometimes transporting me solely by its literary merit. The other reviewers who panned the writing in this book must be used to a different style; but coming from a background of enjoying scifi, classics and mystical poetry, I found Lustbader's prose to be exactly what I was looking for in a pleasant evening-time read.I went on to finish out the whole series, and while I wouldn't rather the next two books quite as highly, I would certainly recommend this one to anyone who enjoys the fantasy and scifi genres.
