5.0 out of 5 stars Score another for De Lint, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Into the Green (Hardcover)

De Lint is by far the best at blending urban reality with fantastical lands that are just "around the corner". He has done it again with this book. I have as many of his books as I could get my hands on...you'll be hooked, although Moonheart was by far his best. If you like him, you'll also like the Taliswoman series by Carole Nelson Douglas...Book 3 of that series is coming in November, 1999. (The other 2 are Cup of Clay and Seed Upon the Wind.)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best works of Fantasy, October 4, 1998

C. Gibson (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Into the Green (Mass Market Paperback)

One of the first fantasy books I ever read, it has stood up to multiple rereadings. De Lint weaves a tale of mystery and magic in a unique land with the courage and compassion of one woman. This book is amazing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting ideas - but not enough elaboration, April 12, 2003

L. Kragh "lokra" (denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Into the Green (Paperback)

This book has some interesting ideas - and some catchy story elements too! But it seems like parts of the storyline are "sketched out", not quite finished and incorporated in the plot. There are too many unnecessary repetitions in the first half of the book, (about 'the green', and about the main character containing "the triad" etc.) This made me think the first chapters might have occured as short stories by themselves at some point, and then had been put together at a later date.

All in all it's an entertaining book (if you can bear with the repetitions), and much of the mythology is interesting enough as well. Worth reading - just don't expect too much:-)
