Pillar of Frozen Light
 |
A mysterious artefact. The power to reach across the galaxy. The power to change lives. Jonan's indulgent life on Earth is upturned when he meets Yerudit¸ a remarkable woman from a distant colony. After an intense affair¸ Yerudit leaves Jonan to pursue a pilgrimage across the galaxy. He finds himself following her on his own journey of self-discovery: encountering enigmatic artefacts¸ haunted by a shadowy figure¸ and discovering a life he never realised he was missing. This novel combines romance with philosophy¸ strange alien vistas with quiet mindfulness¸ star travel technology with simple self-reliance. Through it all stands the Pillar¸ an inexplicable object that gives those who encounter it a glimpse of knowledge beyond human understanding. 5 stars. "A fast paced and exciting adventure novel for fans of the typical romantic space opera¸ but with added bonuses of mystery and threat… The twists are plentiful and the descriptions are literally out of this world¸ making this an immersive novel that's easy to enjoy. Rosenberg's inventiveness is matched with amusing and snappy dialogue that adds to the overall characterization of Jonan on his journey from a generally selfish person into a being of the galaxy. Overall¸ I'd definitely recommend Pillar of Frozen Light." -K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite.
