Far Removed by C.B. Lansdell

4.0

A fascinating tale! Lansdell weaves an intricate story that is compelling and melancholy. We are introduced to Oklas Sayve, a prominent educator and politician on the moon of Knyadrea. Oklas longs to effect change in the rigid society in which he lives, but finds himself thwarted at every turn. When he vows to help a political dissident evade capture, he doesn't realize he will soon be plunged into the dark underbelly of society -- and into the company of Prismer, one of many knyads forced to wear a mask and live in obscurity. Part adventure, part mystery - this book introduces readers to a new and frightening world that somewhat mirrors our own. (I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
