About this deal
Through explanation by the Autarch and a vision he witnesses, the true events of what happened 200 years before are finally revealed.
Fans were notified on his Twitter page about some of the experience and that Barker was recovering after the ordeal, but left with many strange visions. Richard Kirk : "Interestingly, I had read Imajica when it was first published and I have a distinct memory of saying out loud, 'I'd love to illustrate this book!
As with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I simply don't care for stories where people just aimlessly wander around a lot. Imajica is filled with brilliant imagery, lavish descriptions, complex characters, and an intense, epic plot.
Borrowed from a friend, I was game to accept his suggestion of a horror author I would not otherwise read. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
Imajica addresses sexism and the cultural concepts of gender, while being perhaps the most sexual and gender-fluid romantic fantasy adventure ever written. It takes you to new lands and new places and paints pictures which draw you in to them with both skill and ease. Gentle makes it to the top of the palace where he encounters the Autarch, who reveals that Gentle is the Maestro Sartori, who led the failed effort to reconcile the dominions 200 years before. As all-consuming as my words might or might not imply, there's a heart and a strength at the center of everything, and Barker seems to revel in his large cast, and the world(s) they inhabit. I always enjoyed the sexual freedom of his works, often depicting same sex an opposite couplings in the same book, also the androgyny, but there is definitely a homosexual bias to his subtext, which I wasn't aware of when I was younger.
