A SCI-FI MASTER VISIT THE FANTASY FIELD

Beautiful and imaginative incursion of Simak at the fantasy universe. Echoes of Lord of the Rings and other fantasy classics.A poetic and well constructed text for a masterpiece in this literary genre.

A fantastic underlying plot type of beginning fantasy book.

I really believe this book was a wonderful beginner for me. It was the first of my ventures into the fantasy genre. I mean, there were all sorts of interesting characters and be it that they didn't have an immense background or personality to them, they all still fit in well to make the book enjoyable. I believe a lot of readers missed (including other reviewers) the underlying religious plot, that gave the book a bit of in-depth meaning. If Mr. Simak had made this into a trilogy or something similar, I'm sure there could have been a lot more done with character and plot. I thought it was quite impressive. I found myself even upset when the lady horse or donkey was killed. The book drew me in and that is what I like...and the character ideas were superb! I mean, a banshee, witch, and hermit! What great additives. Thanks Mr. Simak for an enjoyable adventure.
