rgoswami 's review for:

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny
1.0

Back before Wikipedia, when there were no reasons not to exult in white-washing and misogynistic retellings of old legends; back then this book was a marvelous success. Now it's less than nothing. A complete waste of time and space. It has not aged well at all, and honestly, fantasy books masquerading as science fiction lose a star by default. This would get less than nothing from me if goodreads let me. For those who know or look up the source legends this is a poor rendition. Replete with sexism and wish fulfillment fantasies. Grab bag powers and unclear motivations for set pieces round this out. This is not character driven, there is no story, and the philosophy is basic. Disgusting.
