4.0 out of 5 stars
Full of surprises, enjoyable trip through Rennaisance Spain,
By A Customer
This review is from: Demon Rider (Years of Longdirk, No 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
I had not read about Toby Longdirk for years, and it was only when I was about halfway through Demon Rider that I begin to recall having read Demon Sword quite a few years ago. Demon Rider was the right length, and the plot twists were excellent. There is a little problem with the time travelling mechanism used by the hob, but it appears to have been the only way Mr. Hood could comment on the horrors of the Inquisition from a surviving victim's point of view. His adaptation of Don Quixote into a living character in the book is marvelous. The necessity of including the Inquisition in a book where the fundamental belief in CHristian Faith is not a given posed some real obstacles, however I am impressed with how Mr Hood pulled it off. There is sufficient humor to go with the swords and sorcery to make this book a very enjoyable read. It fits into alternate history nicely, providing a very human protagonist. The metahporical dealing with inner demons is well resolved by the example of selflessness. Perhaps a lesson more people in the modern world coud use. Suitable for mature teens.
