The New Springtime (1991) - Plot & Excerpts

At first, I thought I would hate this book thanks to the insect-people (was not a fan of Kafka's The Metamorphosis), but I ended up getting really into it. I think one of the reasons I like sci-fi/fantasy so much is that it's a genre that can deal with big issues like racism, discrimination, religion, philosophy, ethics, war, etc. without pointing any fingers at any real life person or issue. There is no cut and dry good vs. evil in this book. We have to delve into the journeys that each main character takes and decide for ourselves how we are going to react to things. This is a book that really makes you think.

Good second book. The first was better, but this one answered lots of questions. I thought it was odd though that Bolderinthe's death was not described. It seemed like it had been in there, then got edited out. Something else odd is that on page 340 of the hardcover edition, there is a typo.
