The Book of Squidly Light: The Continuing Chronicles of Halycon Sage Book 2 Paperback – 15 Oct. 2019

I read a lot. I have never read anything quite like this.I read the first book (The Life and Times of Halycon Sage) and was happy to see there was a second installment. As soon as it was available, I bought the kindle version and read the entire book in one sitting. The story is so strange and delightful and complicated. It pokes fun at human frailty and how strange things must look to someone from another world (culture, background, country). The Zikr is my favorite chapter. I won't tell you what happens, but the cat, and the squid's reaction to the cat, is incredible.What a great social commentary for those willing to search.I think this is one of those books that will change with every successive read-through. This two-book series is now part of my read-once-a-year list. I can't wait to see what I discover next time.

The welcome return of the character Halycon Sage who frankly this time may be in real trouble. Is the book silly? Not if you have an ear for social satire, covert spirituality and love of the absurd. Trying to figure out how to cast it as a blockbuster -

A long way away from current headlines. No dread involved.Absolutely stuffed with good will and oddball characters who bounce off of each other.I became fond of F. Atty Lumpkin, the cat/attorney and the Apocalypse Zombie.Lots of style references to books and movies. It was fun to go, "Oh! I know where that's from!"

Buckle up for a laugh out loud romp through a multi-dimensional universe full of unforgettable characters that will change the way you see the world.
