A book that stands alone among Paulo’s works. I did not want to miss this book even if there were a lot of mixed reviews about this book. One thing for sure, you either love the book or hate it.
It did not take a real long time for me to find out that I love this book. This is new Paulo, from Magical reality (many call his prior works Idealistic or even Spiritual Fantasy) stepping closer to reality (and a few steps beyond as well).
Three wonderful characters – Igor (Powerful, rich, intelligent, cold yet holds his values and his god close to his heart), Ewa (Words are not sufficient to explain her, just wonderful) and Hamid (Achiever, Conscious, Loving).
In this book, Paulo has used wonderful and strong expressions which linger for quite a while after the read. Nice depiction of three people who hold different values struggle for what they believe is right.
I liked the cold nature of Igor and the brilliance of his mind. Even if he destroys many worlds(expression from the book) for his love, I never felt that he was evil. I was able to relate to each of the characters in a better way that any of his prior books. That is the reason why I liked this book.
Either you will love the book or you really hate it. There is just one way to find it out. Just read it.
