Mythago Wood: 1 (Mythago Cycle)

Product Information

I can't think of any other examples right now, but there were three or four times when I felt that things had suddenly developed, leaving me thinking "how did that happen? I never fully understood Harry Keeton's situation, which was wrapped up much too quickly, but I'm thinking that this will be addressed in a sequel. For the Wood is a realm where myths gain flesh and blood, tapping primal fears and desires subdued through the millennia.

No creo que sea una lectura fácil y no creo que le vaya a gustar a todo el mundo, mucha gente abandonara en las primeras páginas probablemente y a su pesar.So, while I was quickly pulled in and I absolutely loved the first two-thirds of the book, I experienced moments of confusion in the last section.

This has been sitting on my TBR pile for longer than I care to admit to - and now I have finally got around to reading it - its becoming a bit of a tradition my Christmas binge reading. The central magic of the forest is great and the way myth and magic play off each other is an endlessly generative idea. I am personally fond of Harry because our names are one letter away from being the same Keeton/Keeten. Vēl viens robs fantāzijas literatūras lauciņā aizpildīts un pilnīgi dubultprieks, ka tā nebija vilšanās. I had wanted to read it but for one reason or another it would just remain on the reading list, waiting.For a few years in the early 90’s I was given masks wherever I went (there are ten masks in the novel, all of them ‘gateways’ into different unknown regions of the past). This book is a MASTERPIECE and will likely be on my list of "All Time Favorite" novels before too long (though I always try and wait a little while after reading the book to see how long it stays with me). In fact, I’d been planning on writing an arcane murder mystery of tremendous age, and that story — an Ice Age murder witnessed by a boy who would be the first ‘storyteller’ — slotted effortlessly into the plot. I liked the Lovecraftian overtones at the start of the novel and I wish they had been sustained throughout the whole story.
