Hohoho,THAT twist !!! I certainly didn't expect this...

And now, it's become a page turner !

"Postulate twelve : Rainbow is a state of mind."

It's taking me a lot of time to read this book. It is a beautiful book. It is. But the writing is a bit archaic if I may say so which is why I struggle a bit. I don't know why Jack Vance comes to my mind (if you've ever read Suldrun's Garden, then you might understand what I mean).

"And elsewhere, in his reclusive twilit chamber, before a tall oval window letting in the filtered grey sunlight through its antique glass, he leaned his lion-maned head over a manuscript, lost to the present reality, his hands flying with his handwriting, the pen dancing over the clean vista of parchment."

Unlike anything I've ever read. Intriguing and very interesting. This world is without color (why ? I think I'll discover that later on) and I'm still being introduced to many different characters. How they all relate is still a mystery.
