Dreams Underfoot: The Newford Collection 2 reviews
Charles De Lint
Tor Books, 1993
Urban Fantasy at its absolute grandest!!!
+ Exquisite and poignant urban fantasy
Dreams Underfoot is the first book I ever read by Charles De Lint, and he became my favorite author half way through the text. Although I have read every other De Lint book or story I can find, and they are all simply breathtaking, (check out Memory and Dream!!) Dreams Underfoot has remained my ...

I thought this book was excellent! It started off kind of slow. But after a while, especially the second half, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. There are a lot of characters to keep track of and some of the expressions that they make are sort of silly but I thought the overall story ...

Firebirds Rising: An Original Anthology of Science Fiction and Fantasy 9 reviews
Firebird, 2006
Appealing collection of YA SF and Fantasy
+ Original sci-fi stories
+ A Few Gems That Sparkle Among the Coal
Firebirds Rising is an engaging mix of SF and Fantasy stories aimed at a young adult audience, though quite enjoyable for adults as well.
Two of my favorites are Science Fiction: Carol Emshwiller's "Quill", an oddly old-fashioned, charming yet sad, story of an isolated family and their curious ...

Tor Books, 2004
Very enjoyable.
+ Oh, charles, I thought I knew you. . . .
+ spirits in the wire
I had a hard time deciding whether to give this 4 or 5 stars. It's probably a solid 4-1/2, for me. I would agree that this book was enjoyable largely because I'm already a Charles de Lint fan, and I'm familiar with most of the characters. While not my absolute favorite of his, I really enjoyed ...

Amazon wants me to review this book. There's no point to that-- either you've already read de Lint and already know his books are fantastic, or you haven't read them... and if you haven't, get with it! You're missing out on incredible books.
My one suggestion would be, though, to do a little ...

Unparalled Magnificene...
+ An excellent, thoughtful read about our own world
+ Charming tale, good detail.. should have been longer
It may not be typical De Lint, yet it definetely is his work. A wonderful story which stretches all imagination. Don't let whatever misgivings you have about this being a science fiction story deter you from reading this. The first few pages may be a little slow-paced and bewildering, but you'll ...

First of all is Ellen Klages, with 'In The House of the Seven ...

De Lint's Real Books...Forget Newford!
+ Very good read.
+ The Power of Myth
I am sorry, De Lint...THIS is where your true talent lies. Newford, I am sorry, but your writing is terribly slang-ridden and well...immature. Riddle of the Wren is a beauty of a book, and I really believe that it deserves more fame than what is recieves. The Celtic themes are strong, the writing ...
