This review is for both the final volume and also an overall review of the series.\u00a0 I got started reading this series a while ago because of an on-line discussion I had on Orion\u2019s Cold Fire (OCF) with Tom about whether there were any stories that could be considered science fiction and also fantasy.\u00a0 Tom pointed to the Majipoor Cycle and piqued my curiosity enough that I picked up the books.\u00a0 For the curious my reviews of the two earlier volumes are here<\/a> and here<\/a>.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t want any spoilers then put this aside until you\u2019ve read those reviews (and possibly the books) and then decide if you want to risk this review.\u00a0 Otherwise here we go.<\/p>\n

The Majipoor books have been a fairly unique experience.\u00a0 They combine a relatively straight forward adventure tale with a world-building framework that tries to encapsulate approximately ten thousand years of the colonization of a new world by a number of cooperating intelligent alien species.\u00a0 And Silverberg is an idiosyncratic writer with a style that came of age in the 1960s.\u00a0 This combines to create a very complex and sometimes meandering tale.<\/p>\n

In the third book, Valentine Pontifex, the eponymous protagonist of the first book, Lord Valentine, is re-established as the principal ruler of Majipoor and is preparing for a triumphal tour of the far-flung cities of his realm when premonitions of disaster begin intruding on his mind.\u00a0 In Majipoor dreams are regarded as legitimate warnings from the reigning spiritual powers, the King of Dreams and the Lady of the Isle.\u00a0 Under this cloud Valentine and his friends and advisors begin the ill-fated Processional and unsurprisingly a long series of disasters occur.\u00a0 Valentine identifies these cataclysms with a karmic reaction to the original conquest of Majipoor and attempts to expiate this original sin through diplomacy and love.\u00a0 The tension between his actions and the situation on the ground makes up the action of the story.<\/p>\n

Valentine Pontifex is, as I mentioned, a very complicated and meandering story line.\u00a0 There are close to a dozen threads weaving through the book with their own characters, locations and subplots, some more important to the main narrative and some less so.\u00a0 And Silverberg provides a veritable Tolkienian plethora of Majipoorian names.\u00a0 There is a veritable blizzard of names; names of cities, regions, rivers, forests, animals, trees, fruit, cereal crops, food dishes, wines, medicines and people.\u00a0 Also Valentine\u2019s character is of a contemplative and judicious nature so that he agonizes a good deal about the conflicting needs of the various parties involved.\u00a0 Luckily some of the other characters are less conflicted and help to push the action forward.<\/p>\n

Another aspect of the story and the Majipoor series in general is the metaphorical nature of the story.\u00a0 To my mind, Majipoor is a metaphor for the English colonization of the United States.\u00a0 The aboriginal inhabitants of Majipoor, the Shapeshifters, defeated and relegated to life on an inhospitable reservation, are a stand in for the Native Americans.\u00a0 The other species brought to Majipoor by the humans equate to the other nationalities and races that have immigrated to the United States.\u00a0 To be honest, I am not a big fan of this kind of representation.\u00a0 All too often this kind of metaphorical story telling is just a chance to bash this country and curry favor with the social justice apparatchiks.\u00a0 And Valentine does have a certain amount of the Jimmy Carter syndrome in his make-up.\u00a0 There is even a subplot that involves humans hunting and harvesting an intelligent water dwelling species that is the equivalent of whales.<\/p>\n

Looking at all these detrimental story elements, you would be unsurprised if I gave Valentine Pontifex and the Majipoor cycle in general a failing grade.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to instead provide an opinion that combines warning with guarded approval.<\/p>\n

My first statement will be the warning.\u00a0 Majipoor is not for those who are looking for fast-paced adventure and classic fantasy ala Middle Earth.\u00a0 It is not that.\u00a0 And if you absolutely are not in the mood to hear about the rights of the dispossessed aborigines skip this story.\u00a0 And lastly, if you have a very strong aversion to human\/lizard-man romances then absolutely skip the second volume Majipoor Chronicles.\u00a0 As mentioned in my review of that book, this was a weakness of Silverberg living through the Crazy Years of the 1960s.\u00a0 For them sex was something they had to inject into any scenario.<\/p>\n

So those are all the reasons to skip Majipoor.\u00a0 Now, here\u2019s the guarded approval.\u00a0 Silverberg has created a genuinely interesting universe.\u00a0 His characters are engaging and genuinely recognizable humans (even the non-humans).\u00a0 The story, for the most part, works within its boundaries and despite some pacing problems gets to the finish line intact.\u00a0 For someone interested in a fusion of science fiction and fantasy the Majipoor books are a quirky read.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say it\u2019s for the hard-core sf&f connoisseur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
