competencefantasy 's review for:

The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson
5.0

It's masculine, fairly inacessible, and full of dense imagery. Plot takes backseat to language, theme, and character. There are almost no women.

I loved it?

I don't know how to explain it l. I just imprinted intensely on several parts of this magnificent incomprehensible mash up. Like how the two leads had such different concepts of masculinity. Or how affection filtered through such different lenses. Or how the prose couldn't care less that it's mixing modern slang with SAT words.

(sings to tune from man of la mancha)
I like him!
