A review by songwind
Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny
5.0
Lord of Light is one of my favorite books ever.
It has one of my favorite beginnings, and as you can see from my profile, one of my favorite quotes.
At its most basic level, the book is a great read. The underdog takes on the establishment and tries to free the people of a world from unfair enslavement.
If you take it deeper, it gets even better. The struggle between the different factions of the gods is a great parable of the struggle for our thoughts in which different groups are engaged in the real world. The motivations are as different in the novel as they are in real life, stretching from the banal to the sublime.
