    Read it.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2017*

This book is a delight.  It started out just okay, but had me intrigued by the end of the first few chapters and hooked by the half way mark - like a cart headed down a gentle slope, slowly at first and then gaining momentum until all the sudden you realize it's moving to fast to jump off of.  If that's the first half then approaching the end you've plummeted off of a cliff.It's one of the best written that i've read in a while, for starters.  It strikes that balance between story and art that only the best books attain, the sweet spot.The main character never once is a character, even at the start she's someone you're getting to know.  Every one else is the same, without fail, there isn't a faltering step in any of them.As i've already said the plot is excellently paced, moving from measured into dynamic without any noticeable or unnatural transitions.  One thing that is beautifully combined with that is the setting and mythos, revealed as it goes on at just the right speed and with just the right level of uncertainty, the same uncertainty we experience in life.I could go on and write a literary review breaking down pieces and symbols and connections in it but i don't need to because you'll read this book because it's a delightful story for anyone.  I don't mean that as a cliche but as another point: I can't think of a demographic that this book wouldn't entrance, even including, i think, that rare and arrogant find the "Literary fiction reader".  Read it.

    What the heck happened?
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2017*

WARNING--POSSIBLE SPOILERS.I don't understand this book. It's beautifully, beautifully written. The language is like wading through flowers.But the story makes no freaking sense. We have CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien both making totally gratuitous appearances (really, folks, WHY were they there? Are we supposed to believe that at some point later in her life Anna goes back to them and tells them there really ARE monsters, so they get the ideas for their books?)We have a girl living in poverty with her alcoholic, purposeless father. The girl is a likable character, but in her spunky independent "I'm gonna go out in the dark because my dad doesn't want me to" way she witnesses a killing. This ties her in with Luca and his family, a group of gypsies who are harboring shape-shifters. Why? because Anna is, in ways we don't quite get, one of them. She has the "old magic." Okay, this is where it gets weird. At some point we learn that the gypsies are down to the last two shape-shifters and in order for the lineage to continue she needs to (someday--after all, she's like 12 or 13 at most) marry Luca, the last of the shape-shifters, mate with him, and produce lots more little shape-shifters. Anna isn't terribly pleased about having her life so mapped out and pitches a hissy fit and leaves, whereupon they chase her. Now she has become great friends with Luca, so why she's so opposed to the notion of ever loving him down the line is curious enough, but when the two of them go on the lam together (and actually end up part of the same family together) it seems to me that, given the way the book ends, all the gypsies really had to do was sit back and watch. Anna and Luca are headed on the road to matrimony whether they want to be or not.Normally you think of a story as some conflict between characters and some obstacles to overcome (I'm oversimplifying). But it's not really normal to have the characters overcome the conflict and the obstacles and end up exactly where neither of them wanted to be...and have both of them happy as pigs in slop to be there. Thus, my scratching my head at the end of this book and saying "what the heck just happened?"

    An heir to DIANA Wynne Jones
  

*by M***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2020*

This is a fine book.  at first the book seems well grounded in the 20th  century.Anna and her Pa are ethnic Greeks  who fled  to England from Smyrna when Turkey reclaimed it.  But as Anna explores into the words near her home, she comes into contact with the surviving remnants of mythic groups.  I would say the magical nature of these groups is emphasized. They represent an older way of balance of forces roughly equivalent to summer and winter.  It Anna is the focus of the story, and the conflict between groups is not Dark vs Light as in Sudan Cooper. Briefly Anna meets C.S. LEWIS and  discusses religion, but he is not the ardent Christian then.  In a way I find echoes of other stories in the book.
