Review
This book reminded me a lot of Charles de Lint's Wildwood and Patricia McKillip's Solstice Wood.
I was a little disappointed by the ending of the book and would have liked a bit more Joe/Lynn and less Crae. It was a good book but I felt like I didn't know enough about Lynn to really care enough about her. I liked Joe and Kate and wished that I could get to know Lynn more. However, the trick of the book is that you do learn about Lynn through Joe, Crae and Kate and how/what they feel about her.
Kate's sections had the best impact and I have to say, I was also a little saddened by the abruptness of Terrick Jr and Kate. I mean, come on, give a girl something other than broken endings and sudden changes!
That sentiment echoes throughout the book. There's just something missing from the pages that didn't captivate as well as I was hoping to be. I literally finished the book and had to ponder for ten minutes whether I liked it.
The reason for the four stars is that it's actually a three and a half star book and that's mostly because of Joe and Kate. I liked Crae but I think I like Joe more (if you've read the book, you know what I'm referring to).
Anyway, if you love horses, surreal fantasy and the tangled webs that people weave, you will like this book.
I believe there is a sequel coming out soon.
