It wasn't clear what were the great benefits of Reconciliation except for those who were already dead. This is especially highlighted by the story telling us that dominion one was essentially empty, except, apparently, for The Unbeheld and sealed off from 'level 2' by the Erasure as well. Sartori not to be too much confused (except by Judith) for the Autarch who is Gentle's clone/doppelganger/twin.Īlthough it would probably have added far too many pages more to the book, I think some discussion of the unity of dominions 1 through 4 would have helped to explain why the fifth was so eager to be separated. Of course John 'Gentle' Furie Zacharias is now A.K.A. While having difficulty with pronunciation, I think I am almost enjoying the story. Judith sees Quaisoir in her dreams and realizes she and the Autarch's wife are identical.From there, the plot thickens. Pie and Gentle, after their long journey, reach Yzordderrex, over which hangs the comet 'Yzordderrex's Star, Giess, which is also called the Witherer, just as Judith and Dowd arrived directly from London, entering through the cellar of Peccable's house where they meet Peccable's daughter, Hoi-Polloi.

The Autarch and Quaisoir have also subjugated all the Kesparates, like Oke T'Noon, of the city itself with the many ethnic communities in them. Dominion one is the province of The Unbeheld, Hapexamendios. Some enter at Vaneaeph, near Patashoqua and have to travel The Lenten Way, many miles through the Jokalaylau mountains, passing near the Mount of Lipper Bayak through the idyllic village of Beatrix (where they did NOT meet any Potters), encountering frozen godesses and prizoners surrounded by walkable water, picking up a guard's daughter, Huzzah, to finally reach the capital of Yzordderrex where the Autarch (who has an assistant, Rosengarten) and his wife Quaisoir (who has a maid, Concupisentia) have ruthlessly dominated dominions two, three and four in spite of being addicted to the drug kreauchee. They pass through the In Ovo on their way from Earth (the fifth dominion) entering the other dominions. are also connected to the Imajica and the Reconciled Dominions (1 through 4).

These occupants of London have connection to the Tabula Rasa Society which wants to keep Earth free from magic, but Oscar, Judith, who some call Jude, Pie, Gentle et.al. So, there's Charlie Estabrook who turns out to be the brother of Oscar Godolphin and Charlie's wife Judith and her sometime boyfriend John 'Gentle' Furie Zacharias and the assassin, the Eurhetemec mystif, Pie 'oh' Pah and Oscar's butler Dowd. Pluthero Quexos says no more than three can be the focus of any story.
