I ... this was almost as epic as Lord of the Rings for me. That is really the only way to describe it. I loved it, I love the idea of there being two different realities but they both effect each other (and one is present/past, and the other is the future).
It was also like Narnia for me, the ending was bittersweet. Justin had His Bride again; the remnant, in a way, but it was nothing like it had been in the beginning, the first Gathering Thomas had ever been to and all that. I also love how Dekker describes everything; especially the colored forest/green forest in the beginning and the Great Romance. It was absolutely beautiful. The plot twists were excellent as well.
It was simply epic. I cannot describe it any other way. Well, perhaps I can, but it seems nothing I type really conveys how I feel about any of the books I read. To be honest, I did not expect this book to be very good. I first read it on the way back from New York city, and I ended up having a love-hate feeling of it, as I do with Lord of the Rings. It is absolutely brilliant, well thought out, and I could picture everything that happened in my mind as if it were a movie. But, I also hated it because parts of it were so very dark and of course I hated the bittersweet ending, when Thomas died.
