tuftymctavish 's review for:

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny
1.5
challenging medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There were hints of the background to the First, Captains of yore reborn, that I was particularly interested in - during a handful of scenes, such as Hellwell - but the abuse of power to stifle development and exploit the lower classes was tedious and abstract.
