A review by jefffrane
The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky by John Hornor Jacobs

5.0

A quietly powerful story that begins with a young professor who teaches Latin American literature and slowly trails through the mundane world offering glimpses of Otherness. Eventually she becomes a somewhat reluctant warrior, fiercely loyal and determined, and comes to face Lovecraftian horrors enmeshed in symbiosis with human monsters. She is in every way not a Lovecraftian protagonist but rather brave and intelligent and, well, difficult to imagine Howard Phillips acknowledging a powerful woman. To date, I have read two of Jacobs' trilogies, neither of which have anything in common with the other or with anything else I've read. The Sea Dreams It Is the Sky is yet another change up. All any of them have in common is the grace of John Hornor Jacobs' writing.
