Historia
God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

A Visionary Dystopian Masterpiece
Revisado: 02-03-25
Prescient and prophetic, The Parable of the Sower is a perfect book to read during these fraught and tumultuous times. It powerfully and realistically portrays a possible negative future while also depicting the type of vision and hope and relational consciousness that are needed to survive and move beyond such horrors and perils. Beautifully conceived and executed!

Excellent and Original Viking Themed Fantasy Series
Revisado: 11-07-24
The Bloodsworn Saga is a beautifully realized, fresh and original Viking themed fantasy series. It has extremely well written action and battle scenes and is fast-paced and compelling. It is extremely violent and portrays a grim and brutal world dominated by violence and the power principle. There are multiple compelling characters and points of view, and meaningful threads of plot development, but it is definitely heavier on action than on philosophical or spiritual vision. I would highly recommend the series for anyone who loves well written action and fight scenes and an original and compelling fantasy world but not for those who are squeamish about violence or find numerous extended fight scenes tedious. This is one of the most consistently well realized fantasy series I have read, and the final book is a satisfying conclusion to the saga.

A Visionary Science Fiction Masterpiece
Revisado: 06-11-24
Dune is in some sense the nearest equivalent of the Lord of the Rings in the realm of Science Fiction, creating a deeply envisioned and textured world and narrative, It is visionary in its exploration of the potentials of human consciousness as a path forward beyond the limitations of mechanistic computer technology, but it’s fatal flaw is its failure to see beyond the limitations of the power principle.

Historia
Cosmogenesis is one of the greatest discoveries in human history, and yet most science books do not explore the effects it has had on our individual minds. In Cosmogenesis, Brian Thomas Swimme narrates the same cosmological events that we agree are fact but offers a feature unlike all other writings on this topic. He tells the story of the universe while simultaneously telling the story of the storyteller.

Historia
One moment a man sits on a suburban hill, gazing curiously at the stars. The next, he is whirling through the firmament, and perhaps the most remarkable of all science fiction journeys has begun. Even Stapledon's other great work, 'Last and First Men' pales in ambition next to 'Star Maker' which presents nothing less than an entire imagined history of life in the universe, encompassing billions of years.

Thought provoking and philosophical, a novel of dreams and visions
Revisado: 07-08-23
Like Ursula Le Guin‘s other science fiction books, The Lathe of Heaven is thoughtful and well written, and is perhaps stronger in visions and ideas than in characters and plot. After an artful and fascinating setup, the book has a meandering pace and direction with some interesting developments but not the climactic force of a great novel.

Historia
As destiny weaves its rich tapestry, a compelling drama plays out against a background of wild forests, elegant castles, hidden temples, and savage battlefields. This is the medieval Japan of Lian Hearn's imagination, where animal spirits clash with warriors and children navigate a landscape as serene as it is deadly.

Well-told fairy tale like fable
Revisado: 05-24-23
This feels more like a Japanese fable or fairytale than a full fantasy novel. It is well written and portrays a magical and fascinating world reminiscent of the Otori novels, but the characters feel more remote and the story more ephemeral.

Excellent fight scenes and elemental magic!
Revisado: 05-22-23
This book is an interesting mixture of science fiction and fantasy in a mostly Asian inspired setting, with excellent fight scenes, compelling elemental magic and an interesting story but with strange pacing and unexpected and understated plot developments, especially in its final third.
