I wonder if Brian Catling read this book, because this is everything that The Vorrh wasn't. The writing is beautiful and probing--abstract but still lucid--with characters that feel human. Their reactions to a dark world are varied, and none of them seem favored by the author--a sign of good writing. But this book is also just as dense and aimless as The Vorrh, so it's not a light read, but intriguing still.
