Negative Positive
Title: Intricate, complex, flowing, exciting . . .
Review: The environmental pictures painted are peerless. The characterizations are excellent. The religious intrigue, while not mystical or deep, is nonetheless captivating (especially if you're a fan of messianic, "Chosen One" tales). And the story is wonderful! If you like fantasy, sf, or great novels in general, check it out. (But be sure to get this new Ace edition; it certainly can't have _more_ typos than the Putnam hardcover.)
