Summary/Description:
Did the ending precede the beginning? Are we only here on earth to comprehend its machinations? Is there room for choice to shape our destiny in the wake of fate and its brutal logic? Mimadamos is a unique, philosophically rich fantasy which journeys through the depths of conflict and harmony that we understand as the spirit. It decodes the magic of the most ancient scripts known to man, the symbolic fall from Eden and the long anticipated armageddon, revealing a logic so unique that it brings history to its conclusive end.
My Thoughts:
This was a very interesting read. It did take me a lot longer to finish than most books because it is very philosophical and deep.
In the beginning, Destiny is marrying Fate. She travels with him back to his home. When she gets pregnant, she goes back home because of a tradition of her people to be cared for by her family. But no one is there. She ends up having and raising the child, Choice, alone. What I never understood about this was why didn't she go back to Fate? There wasn't really a reason for her to stay there.
Choice eventually leaves Destiny to explore outside his home, unknowingly led into the enemy's territory by someone he thought he could trust. He ends up meeting Hope, and they become friends and sort of allies against the enemy. Time and Space are threatened into helping the enemy get into Destiny's brain and hack into her thoughts. They don't seem to want to, but they do it anyway (I can sort of understand that). What I don't understand is why they obey the enemy when they are summoned? They could just not show up?
I also did not really understand the thing with Choice eating the apple? He did not become evil afterwards, so was it just a reference to the Fall?
Everything works out in the end though, Destiny is reunited with Fate and Choice and the enemy loses his followers when they find out the truth about him.
I found this book very intriguing. I would definitely recommend trying out this book if you are a fan of philosophical narratives or religious themes.
