Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr by John Crowley
5.0
Ambitious. Multi-level. Eye-opening. Fantastically realistic. Sad, but truthful.
"Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr" is all of the above. My first book from John Crowley leaves me wanting more, as the lyrical writing is perfect for stopping for a moment, meandering in the meaning of the thoughts brought forward through words.
Topics in this book include in-depth thoughts of our world, our history, its people, death, religion, our journey for a purpose or nothing at all. All this through the eyes of a crow, the world of crows, ever watching and ever knowing. The story takes you in, flying through our world as we have never seen it before.
John Crowley writes beautifully. I am going to visit more of his books in the near future.
