I am an avid sci-fi reader, cutting my teeth on the likes of John Norman and Alex Asimov. If you're interested in alternate realms and enjoy things like Dungeons and Dragons and other FATE based RPGs then you are going to absolutely love this book.Copeland brilliantly develops two entirely different worlds one is modern and technologically advanced but in a state of ruin with a church attempting to gain control. The other is a world ruled by nature and loyalty. The story brings us into both worlds without any pedantic descriptions, instead using well written story line to immerse the reader. If you're a lover of the genre you are going to feel at home in each world, yet long to visit the other.The religious explorations in the book are a major theme but they don't in any way pander or preach. You really will come out of this read questioning your belief system and maybe understanding that there is a vast number of belief structures in existence.Sometimes we don't know to even question or explore the things we know for fact in our lives and Copeland does an expert job of reminding us that reality is what we make it and our beliefs, allegiance and loyalty are ours alone to give.
