A review by miramanga
The Dragon and the Unicorn by A.A. Attanasio
4.0
I'm utterly exhausted after reading this epic tome. [a:A.A. Attanasio|5217055|A.A. Attanasio|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1328326006p2/5217055.jpg] takes us on what I can only describe as a psychedelic, New Age, quantum journey through a masterfully reimagined tale of the Arthurian legend starting from the beginning. And we *mean* the VERY beginning. The big bang, all of that. The greatest light show on earth indeed, encompassing angels, Odin (as a *very* bad guy) and a pantheon of other well known myths and gods.
The writing is florid, the first fifty pages read like a hippy trip on acid and are TOUGH to get through. Once you break through the writing becomes more compelling though by the end I was a bit baffled and relieved to be done.
I've never read anything like this and probably interested enough to track down the sequel too...
