Book Review: The Galaxy Game by Karen Lord
Rafi is a sometimes unwilling student at the Lyceum, a school for the psionically gifted. Such powers are dangerous, and Rafi is an object of control and political manipulation. Seeking freedom from the Lyceum and those who would control him, Rafi’s personal journey, and the personal journeys of his friends, take him outside the bounds of the Lyceumto worlds and places where he and his friends can try to find themselves. And perhaps get in a little Wallrunning too. And yet the personal story of a psionically gifted student and his friends is set against the backdrop of a planet and a galaxy undergoing severe social change. Psionics, mindships and galactic politics are all part of Karen Lord’s The Galaxy Game.
