Imajica Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Imajica


Imajica is the name for the five dimensions, of which Earth is the fifth, and the only one to be unreconciled - out of contact with the other four. Every 200 years, there's another chance to reconcile Earth, and this time around three people hold the key: Gentle, an artist and womanizer who cannot remember his past, Judith, who is the obsession of many but the permanent possession of none, and Pie 'oh' pah, a shape-shifting assassin of indeterminate sex. This is truly epic fantasy of the grandest sort; Barker has created an utterly believeable, entrancing world as the setting for a remarkable story.
