Roger Zelazny has a knack for coming up with mind-blowing concepts, but his storytelling abilities leave much to be desired. Lord of Light, being heavily inspired by both hard sci-fi and Hindu mythology, might as well have one of the best settings I have seen in a sci-fi/fantasy hybrid novels, but it also follows a very generic, and even somewhat forced plot.
Still, definitely worth a read just to experience the setting.
| Positive: | Negative: |
| Fantastic setting seamlessly combines sci-fi with Hindu mythology | Characters change sides with little motivation |
| Full of fascinating concepts, both of science and fantasy | Plot follows generic fantasy tropes mostly |
| Fascinating mysteries in the history of the world | Predictable, generic story |
