Un vero classico del genere. Eccezionale nel costruire un mondo alternativo e i suoi rapporti sociali attraverso i protagonisti e senza affogare il lettore con troppi dettagli. Eppure, paradossalmente, nella seconda metà del libro ho trovato che la narrazione si trascinasse più lenta, in una direzione che si rivela poi inconcludente, se non per la breve visione di un mondo alternativo - il nostro - da parte di Tagomi e per l'enigmatica lettura finale dell'I Ching (uno degli espedienti più interessanti e affascinanti di tutto il libro) da parte di Juliana.
Resta, indubitabilmente, un libro da leggere per gli amanti del genere e non.

Not what I’d expected. Apprentice becomes sci-fi, and in the right way
