Moonheart

I really enjoyed this odd mix of celtic bards and druids and magical native american spirits, 1980s Ottawa and the Otherworld, a Dread Nameless spirit seeking revenge on an old enemy, a young apprentice wizard looking for his mage, a government organization looking to find out about magical powers with a ruthless rich man in the background pulling the strings in his endeavourrs to gain immortality, some very nasty thugs and even nastier terrifying creatures from another world, a disparate but likeable group of people living in a mysterious and magical house that can protect itself from evil creatures, a magic ring,some time travel... and more! This is an exuberant work, written with verve and warmth, and very engaging in spite of all the disparate motifs. It is a rollicking adventure story, interspersed with heartwarming quieter interludes in a magic primeval forest. If you can swallow celtic bards mixing with Indian forest spirits, I think you would thoroughly enjoy this book.Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
