A review by recovering_gr_addict
Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny
5.0
This was a short book for me (just over 300 pages) and very concise — which I loved! (Sometimes I feel that authors can get too caught up in expositional details that don't usually advance the plot in meaningful ways, but NOT so with this gem!)
How do describe this story? The best I can come up with is that it's a genius mix of far-flung futurism (with some engineered societal and tech regression), Hinduism, Buddhism — really, a little bit of religiosity in general — and the myths thereof, with elements of Altered Carbon and Iain M. Banks' The Culture series (this novel being published before those works). It was so good, so very, very good.
I highly recommend to anyone that likes any of the aspects I've described here. If you decide to read it, enjoy!
