Lee Carroll (2)

The first part of the book sucked me in with in just a few pages. It is really wonderful to read an urban fantasy with an adult main character. Her emotions seems very real especially in the first half of the novel. Carroll creates the most amazing images both of NY and of the more magical sights in the book. During the reading I constantly turned to google to see images of the places Gareth takes you.
The first part of this book is definatly the strongest. The more fantasy part of the book does feel a bit weaker. Not bad just less compelling. In the last half of the book our main character is kind of passive much of the time and there are a lot of description, which make it less interesting when the first part. Gareth just get sweeper along in part of the book which is a shame.
The ending was suprisingly long and melancolic - reminding me of the ending of lords of the rings. I really enjoyed the book.
Defiantly worth reading! And the included first chapter of the next book makes me want to pick it up as well.… (altro)
