Humans In a New Place
Reviewed: 11-07-24
Concept interesting but difficult to visualize the "new" continent. Without more description up front the placement of places and people was puzzling. However, the story gallops along, swashbuckling. as characters play realistic roles. Performance was pretty good, but not great

Very Good Sequel
Reviewed: 12-19-22
In this installment of the Lord Valentine Castle books the character Hisoon becomes well developed and multi-dimensional and appropriately joins the other major characters as a strong force on Valentine's plans and actions. I believe Valentine pontifex is one of silverberg's strongest works. the performance using multiple narrators is quite effective adding a great deal to the story. highly recommended.

Almost a Parallel Creepy Universe

Like a movie in my head. Love the Mysterium concept, hope there's more. Sci fi, mystery, innocents, bad guys, surprise transformations, animals, irony, Way out on a limb and completely believable.
