The Parchment Maze

The The Parchment Maze ( Bulgaria, 2009) is a carefully crafted literary work that could be both entertaining and illuminating for English-speaking readers throughout the world, especially in the United States. The contribution of The Parchment Maze to the literature of the occult is quite significant. In my professional opinion, this novel surpasses those of both Dan Brown and Elizabeth Kostova in terms of complexity and theme.
Three specific features of the novel that are noteworthy are as follows: (1) the labyrinthine structure of the story; (2) the well-drawn relationships of Vera-Ariman, Vera-Futch, and Vera-her father; and (3) the sustained journey motif that stresses the quest for illumination/faith/paradise.
Finally, the mysterious ending of the novel leaves the reader hoping for more. Perhaps Vera is not dead. A sequel is certainly possible.
