The Sky Below

I have just finished reading The Sky Below by Stacey D'Erasmo. I have mixed feelings about this book. Without a doubt Sacey D'Erasmo is a great writer. Her style pulled me in immediatley and I knew I was in for a treat. It is a mythic journey of a man trying to find himself-his soul, something he lost in childhood. It takes us on a journey to far away places with lots of interesting characters along the way. The problem is that I never really cared about the protagonist. This made it hard for me to stay engaged. I did find it redeeming by the end, and this is an author worth checking out for sure.
