Imajica

Product Information

For me however, no entertainment value, the imagery does nothing for me and I don't care about the characters at all. It was the pivotal teaching of Pluthero Quexos, the most celebrated dramatist of the Second Dominion, that in any fiction, no matter how ambitious its scope or profound its theme, there was only ever room for three players.

The book left a profound impression on me and opened the door to reading everything else Barker had published.

It would steadily diminish as the story unfolded, three becoming two, two becoming one, until the stage was left deserted.

If you are looking for a long read with gender-bending assassins, imprisoned goddesses, magic made out of breath and spit, brutal inter-dimensional ghouls, impossible but consensual sexual contortions, oddly named characters, the profane made sacred, high body counts, sentient lakes and cities, furries and cockney accents, then look no further! How it got split away, held back from the other Reconciled Dominions by the horrible netherworld of the In Ovo, no one knows.It's also revealed that, being the Imajica a circle, the souls of the dead ones won't be able to escape the Imajica itself as they hoped with the Reconciliation.

If you like stuff like alien worlds, secret societies, dark magic, enduring love, and stakes high enough to save or doom not one but 5 worlds, you might like Imajica. Sartori meanwhile reveals to Judith (who still thinks he's Gentle) that he has impregnated her when she tries to get him to see Celestine.And the fact that it follows such a narrow and predictable structure made me all the more lazy when I could start anticipating the beats. If the Reconciliation was so important, why did the death of about *5* people cause Gentle to quit, run, and hide for 200+ years?
