Domenico Corna's 'Wood of Plane' is an
fantastic addition to my book shelf that delivers quality story with
unique theme of man's search for meaning in life. From the
perspective of alternate reality the author questions human being's
desire for knowledge and self search. The story begins with an
explosion of an ancient world that shatters ancient souls to
different dimensions. Some of them are in earth too with lost
memories. Now they try to return to their lost memories connecting
themselves with meditative power. They are gathering in an alternate
reality for the final quest. But they're not alone as some of earth
people are there too for the search of a new reality.
The author created an amazing world to explore
philosophical questions of human mind. With the addition of
beautiful prose and unique narrative style he mingled alternate
reality with philosophy. The magic system is top notch to connect
the old souls with nature. Human struggles behind the emotions of
loneliness, despair and self search is well explored from the
aspects of a newer reality that is different from our time. The
character sketch and their perspective change with time jump is
spectacular to notice. The eternal theme of love with the connection
between human soul and nature is maturely handled. Dialogues and
atmosphere building is top notch to hook the reader till last page.
I love the central characters as well as side characters, all of
whom has their part in the plotline. Actually this book is great to
explore such unique theme of soul searching with an fantasy
framework. I just loved the idea. This book is lustrous, beautiful,
creative and imaginative to provide important lessons that demands
your attention. I highly recommend this dazzling art of fiction to
any fantasy lover.
