Sartori's minions carry Gentle's body out of the room to Celestine and Judith accompanies them as the clock strikes midnight and the reconciliation is completed. This is a modern tale of magic and tells the story of how three characters - Gentle, Judith and Pie, man woman and in-between - confront themselves, magic and the divine, as well as ghosts, agents and reflections. The sheer scale, the characters, the world building, the implied messages, just everything is incredible.

pages is pretty hefty, but the sheer scale and amount of things that actually happen in those 800 pages consumed my entire life, and made me feel as though I'd just finished reading a trilogy. She also discovers a strange blue stone that causes her to have an out of body experience, during which she witnesses a mummified woman being kept prisoner by the Tabula Rasa in the Roxborough Tower. But despite these criticisms, this was a fantastic journey and I'm so happy to have finally read it. Sartori tries to convince Judith that they should kill themselves, but she instead rushes back in the house to try and stop Gentle from completing the reconciliation. The design is loosely based on the Euclidian shapes depicting colored geometric figures which appear throughout the book.And most of all, with all the talk of completing the circle and that Creation was both male and female, isn't killing off the masculine God tipping the scales in the other direction? As Barker states in the foreword, "Imajica" is an attempt at exploring ideas of theology, psychology, geography, through storytelling--and this even is an understatement. A longtime comics fan, Barker achieved his dream of publishing his own superhero books when Marvel Comics launched the Razorline imprint in 1993. It’s not only difficult for me to sum this book up in a few words, it is a very lengthy volume at 824 pages, but it is extremely difficult to do so without giving way too much. The plot keeps you guessing, there's twists and turns at every corner, and every single sentence has purpose and a hidden meaning.

When I first started reading it, I got bored in the first hundred pages and dropped it for a few weeks.Gentle chases Pie away, but Pie, who has the ability to change his exterior, later disguises himself as Judith and comes to Gentle's apartment with the intent of having sex with him. The book left a profound impression on me and opened the door to reading everything else Barker had published.
