A review by heyt
The Many-Colored Land by Julian May

3.0

I wasn't sure what to expect with this one as it took about a hundred pages to move past the set up mentioned in the blurb but once it got going I enjoyed myself. This was a little dated in terms of social norms but overall wasn't too glaringly awful. I enjoyed the adventure style of the story and while this ended at a point where there are still some aspects that are open ended I enjoyed my time with it enough to eventually look up the rest of the series. I also liked the note at the end of the book that explained the influences on the story and the world building. You can see hints of the mythologies being used even though they are more springing off points rather than retellings.
