![]() ![]() Trying not to give spoilers, just saying that there are a lot of threads in this story. Bits seeming not quite like fantasy, but the stories we hear of business people using their influence in illegal ways to make more money/power, but as with many of those sorts of tales they also use something slightly (or very) supernatural to help them. This time it's in both a fictional town similar to others in Cornwall and also a real town (though I didn't believe it, so Googled it) called Mousehole! He was sort a founder of Urban Fantasy, and this is another great example. The story is in a new setting than much of his writing. ![]() The narrator did a wonderful job, changing voices and accents enough to easily differentiate the characters and beautifully narrating the story. The villains are a bit darker than in much of his writing, but the story just as magical and eventually quite hopeful. Point being I'm so glad this is now available as an audiobook. Plus, while I still buy hard copies, I'm a slow reader. I've been a fan of this author for a while, but his books are getting harder to find, many of his older works are out of print. Another wonderful story by Charles de Lint ![]()
