Title: Fascinating philosphical investigation
Product review: Strauss has a real talent for creating arresting imaginary worlds with fully-realized societal underpinnings: culture, religion, folkways. In Burning Land, one man's orthodoxy is another's blasphemy, and Strauss addresses this in a fresh way that sheds light on an eternal problem. Her prose (especially her talent for visual description) is deep and compelling; it helps the plot draw you into a totally believable fantasy world; and you'll end up caring deeply about the political/religious issues that her characters face with various levels of commitment and expedience. (Not to mention that the plot is meticulously crafted and pretty darn thrilling.)
