A short summary: This is a futuristic story in which settlers from the U.S. have come to live in The Oberon (Off-World). It is a land that is accessed by an energy portal in the South Pacific. Once there, the settlers mine orichalcum- a mineral that can give people magical powers.
You are Sarah Orange, and you have settled in The Oberon. And the adventure begins, although the previous chapters introducing you to yourself are extremely entertaining and you should read them.
I forgot about POV after the first page, drawn into the insane (and very cool) world created by the author. The vivid descriptions of people (or not-people) and settings is pretty damn impressive. Sometimes a reader feels she’s stepped into the mind of a nutcase, but not in a bad way. The Oberon is a bleak, and sometimes deadly place that floats somewhere between sci-fi and fantasy.
This book isn’t for folks who don’t like to think while they read. While it seems like just a fun ride on the surface, West creeps inside your brain with each detail and forces you to try to figure out what he’s telling you. I’m not sure I have, so I’m going to read it again.
