christyjoreads 's review for:

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny
5.0

Dreamlike and beautifully woven, The Lord Of Light tells of the many incarnations of Sam and his battle against the pantheon of Hindu deities. As a religious studies major in college, I was familiar with Eastern Religions and found Zelazny's tales credible and delicious. I found myself amazed at the details. For any true sci-fi nut, this book is a must!!!! Not only is it dripping with the fantastic, it embraces the greatest of all sci-fi rules -- don't explain too much. It is what is....we must accept the world he has created blindly and we will be rewarded with a rich tale of this new and amazing world.
