In the Shadow of the Torturer
I have just finished this book which is an unusual venture for me. I don’t often read sci-fi or fantasy unless it is authored or recommended by Lewis or Tolkien. But my good friend Brent proffered it and his recommendations are nearly as reliable so I read it. And…I’m not sure what to think. The book was fascinating. Several times I didn’t want to put it down. The language was archaic although the atmosphere was futuristic. The moral universe was different but recognizable. The book was like Kafka filtered through the imagination of a lesser Tolkien. I am intrigued to read the sequel.
