I have been reading older books, in part because back then they were still publishing short books, which are nice when time is limited.
This book was very intriguing, I kept trying to understand more of the world than I did. I guess it is the 'mysterious stranger with no mystery tries to understand mission' theme, but with an interesting twist. The world he falls in is totally confusing to the reader, and feels a bit artificial and amiss - but that is by design.
I kept feeling I was somehow missing some clues that would make more sense of it, but I still enjoyed reading it ( )

Epigraph
Canst thou draw out Leviathan with an hook?

Or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

Will he make a covenant with thee?

And wilt thou takest him for a servant for ever?

Lay thine hand upon him,

Remember the battle, do no more

         Job
Dedication
First words
After the skirmish, two Endwives found him lying in the darkness next to the great silver egg.
