I liked this better than The Deep Sky. I am a sucker for aliens with weird biologies and whatnot. It doesn’t feel like horror overall but has some cosmic horror elements. Some of the characters and motivations could have been better fleshed out, but overall it was immensely readable.

This is an intriguing book, in that most of the time while reading it, I was noticing th similarity between the behavior of the primary Taoist master and cult leaders; but eventually the book focuses quite a bit on one particular disciple, and it became easier to focus on the Taoist principles conveyed in the text.
As far as novels go, it isn’t the best structured narrative, but for those interested in Taoism, it is a good text to read.
