A review by enoyes
Imajica by Clive Barker
adventurous
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
A major flaw with this book is that I did not care about the success of the main characters one bit. There is a part where a character says that he is a friend of the main character and my first thought was “why?” I would NEVER be the main character (Gentle)’s friend and I never saw a reason to root for him.
The world building is really great and so interesting that it was really disappointing for the end to reinforce gender stereotypes. You are creating a new world with queer characters - why wouldn’t you imagine a world without gender stereotypes?
I spent so much time on this book and I do think some parts are interesting and innovative but overall not worth the 800+ pages
