review:
(Yet another overdue review in which I actually don’t remember tons about the book. Sorry.)
Really enjoyable young adult book that I should really just find a copy of. Great fantasy-ish setting. (Is it spoilery to note that a 40 year old book that’s a trilogy starts out as fantasy and then turns out to be post-apocalyptic scifi?)

review:
I don’t remember exactly what bugged me about this book (since I read it several months ago), but what I do remember is (a) author had some sort of hobby-horse (abortion, I think?) and (b) I found myself reading the book about the history of Superman instead. And I’m not really into Superman.
