The Blue Hawk (2002) - Plot & Excerpts

I thought this was a book about the tension between religion, state, and freedom, and neither the plot nor the ideas seemed particularly gripping to me. But in the final pages of the book, the main character, Tron, shares his vision of "the Gods"--a vision that I found incredibly compelling. Using metaphors that tied the Gods to the natural world, and calling Tron's vision a "might-have-been" story rather than a absolutely true revelation, Dickinson presented a thoughtful, post-modern theology that made tied the plot together and deepened the ideas that had come before. While the beginning of the book was just okay, I'm so glad I made it to the end and the M. Night Shyamalan-like resolution.
