Query: On-Par With Tolkien & Lewis

This book is really on-par with the great fantasies, adventures, spiritual journeys done by Tolkien and Lewis. The religion is a little more overt than Tolkien, more in line with Lewis, but the epic reaches more towards Tolkien. The characterization is very good. I felt the pain and joy along with Tathea and felt the fear invoked by the evil in the book and the joy of the goodness. It is very much worth the time and money. A magnificent journey and transformation of a human life to a better being, more sublime. The politics, the religions, the ideas that shape a world, most enlightening. It is a book I will read again and again. I highly recommend it!
