When the Wild Hunt gathers, nothing can stand in its way...
An epic adventure in the spirit of Alan Garner and Susan Cooper.
The interweaving of mythical figures gives the story depth and excitement. I raced through this book with huge enjoyment. The more I read the more wrapped up I became in Liam's evolution and emotional development. The countryside in the area was like a character itself, I really want to see it in person now. This is a very distinctive work, very well written, with some surprising twists and turns. I'm hoping there's a sequel. I would read anything by this author.
Liam is a troubled teenager who just can't learn to read, no matter how much he tries. He wants to be an artist, but his father thinks he should get a proper job and dabble with his hobby later. After an episode in London involving the police, he is banished to a remote village in Somerset. There, he and his blind cousin June discover a gateway to the ancient past, and together have to try to close the gap in time, which is allowing a wild magic into the world.
Offered the chance of immortality, Liam has to find the strength to refuse - but does he want to?
Modern lives clash again old magic in a story filled with action and and olde world heroic charm. This novel will engage children, young adults, and adults who are young at heart.
I was surprised how much I liked and related to this book. I'm female and not a young adult nor a motorcycle rider but for some reason I raced through this book with huge enjoyment. The main character Liam is quite interesting and his personality gruff but somehow likeable--the more I read the more wrapped up I became in his evolution and emotional development. When he and his cousin June get together and discover they are more than they had ever dreamt of being, I couldn't wait to see how it was all going to work out.
