A great story about belief, doubt, love, loss and the darker side of both mind and life.

Thought provoking; some religion but in an introspective way. Good character development. Good for a book group discussion.

My aunt recommended this to me and I wasn't sure about it since it had so much to do with religion.
BUT HOLY COW.
This book was absolutely amazing. It took me a little while to get into it, especially since the story was not told chronologically. Once I did get into though, I was very happy that it was not told chronologically. This book was unlike anything I have ever read and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. I would highly recommend this book to any sci-fi fan.

holy shit. I picked this up as a non sci-fi or fantasy person because the concept sounding so promising. and it DELIVERED and more. i also love alien stuff, but this is so much more. truthfully more than an alien story it’s a story about humans, love, and faith. it’s a masterpiece. one of those books that is so fanstastical yet the emotions it evoked in me made me feel like this was real, like Rakhat is really out there. i will be buying a copy so i can reread.
i’d also like to note that i dreamed last night of Rakhat. only one other book has created a foreign world so beautiful yet frightening that it’s appeared in my dreams.
