It's been decades since I read this series. And I've been introduced to many, more recent, fantasy books. I have to say, this book stands up well today, not outdated or uninteresting to my tastes today. Good characters, the author doesn't veer off the storyline, and the pace keeps moving.
It's going back into my collection and not the repurpose box.
It didn't age well. The philosophy and language is really outdated for me.
With several different story arcs it gets a bit confusing at who is where and when but the author does a good job at the very end refreshing one's memory enough that you see the whole picture. Not sure if the Navaho traditions mentioned are real or not but they do sound intriguing.
Wow! This is uber detailed! I started out with the ebook edition and it was getting harder and harder to pick up. I set it aside for a later in the year buddy read and found out at the very end of that audio read it was abridged! Sad to say, I found the abridged a better read for this year of stress. Maybe another time, Ian.
