CANT BE BEATEN,
By angel gabriel (S. Wales England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Reconciliation: Imajica, Volume 2: Fifth Dimension - Reconciliation v. 2 (Paperback)
Clive Barker really does take you to a world full of fantasy. This book was not exception. It is part of a sage and I high suggest you try to read in order they were written. Barkers charecters are numerous but once you have read for a while its BRILLENT everything you need is there to transport you to another world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Barker's saga powers on,
By Peter James (Pontypridd, RCT United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Reconciliation: Imajica, Volume 2: Fifth Dimension - Reconciliation v. 2 (Paperback)
Clive Barker once again proves his worth as a fantasist of the highest order, weaving together an elaborate and aptly mythic story, stringing together an engaging narrative. The worlds evoked are as always rendered with the sensuality and the attention to detail that have made Barker an international bestseller. A worthy sequel to Imajica and a resoundingly impressive novel in its own right.

A Monumental Metaphysical Marvel,
By OAKSHAMAN "oakshaman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Reconciliation: Imajica, Volume 2: Fifth Dimension - Reconciliation v. 2 (Paperback)
It is hard to believe that it has been over ten years since I first read this mammoth novel- and some thirteen since it was first published. I think "mammoth" is not exaggerating, for how else do you describe a novel that exists as two separate volumes, each of over 500 pages? This isn't a casual read. It represents a considerable investment in time. There are also so many characters, settings, plot lines, specialized vocabulary and underlying principles to keep straight.... Yet, it is worth the investment in time and effort.
The basic framework, like so many of Barker's other novels, is that of a hidden world behind the superficial facade of our mundane world. Barker is such a master at interweaving mundane, and profane, details into the greater fabric of his realities that you find yourself totally drawn in. I found myself totally immersed in this hidden reality. For this is a story of five worlds, or dimensions, or Dominions. These make up the whole of Imajica. That is, they should. Two hundred years ago there was an attempt to reconcile our own fifth Dominion with the other four. This ended in a metaphysical catastrophe so great that that nearly all of the Dominions great theurgists, shamans, and theologians were killed. The result was that almost all magical knowledge passed from our world and for two centuries science and materialism held grim sway. Now, conditions are once again ripe for an attempt to reconcile the Dominions. The great magus', or Maestros, know that this may very well be the last attempt to heal the rift in creation. To fail this time will undoubtedly mean two more centuries of isolation- plenty of time for the Fifth Dominion to destroy itself in nuclear or ecological suicide. Yet, to heal the rift will require a Master of such power and confidence that he will try to succeed where all those that have gone before him (even the Christos) has failed.... This isn't really the second book of Imajica, it is the second half- it was just necessary for the publisher to split it in half. |
