Though the scenario of a layered world is picturesque, and the set-up clearly foreshadows Gene Wolfe, it provides the setting for a fairly basic early medieval war-story in a manner hovering somewhere between Edgar Rice Burroughs and Conan the Barbarian, with much detailed strategy, the hasty invention of chariots and other pre-modern technology by a convenient Archimedes-figure, and the sudden acquisition of martial prowess among disparate and unwarlike peoples, and some love-interest thrown in.
All in all, a pleasant light read in the old-school style.
