Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Thoughtful and leisurely, this fresh urban fantasy from Canadian author Huff (Valor's Trial) features an ensemble cast of nuanced characters in Calgary, Alberta. Headstrong young museum research assistant Allie Gale takes over her missing grandmother's titular junk-shop, which is supposedly crucial to the local community. When Allie arrives to find a leprechaun, a monkey's paw and a magic mirror, she realizes her grandmother didn't mean the human community. After spotting low-flying dragons and other UnderRealm creatures in the neighborhood, Allie calls on the help of her powerful family of modern, benevolent Toronto witches, who attempt to visit via a spacetime-spanning Wood until something shadowy begins pushing them out in inconvenient locales like Haiti. Fantasy buffs will find plenty of humor, thrills and original mythology to chew on, along with refreshingly three-dimensional women in an original, fully realized world. (June)

Review

"Fantasy buffs will find plenty of humor, thrills and original mythology to chew on, along with refreshingly three-dimensional women in an original, fully realized world." —Publishers Weekly

“It’s a great adventure, full of music and magic and just a little goofy at times, thanks to the delightful oddities of the Gales.” —Locus

"Combine Huff’s ability to blend ancient traditions seamlessly into the modern world and make them seem perfectly normal with her characters who are appealing and fun to hang out with, and you’re in for an amazing read." —Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Ninety percent Human - maybe

ByVirginia E. Demarceon October 13, 2009

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

First, I found this to be one of the most enjoyable books of the year. I've re-read it several times.

However -- Huff decided not to make it easy. Unless a person comes to it with some sense of Celtic mythology (the horned god; the power of young woman/mother/crone, the leprechaun, the water spirit, etc.), making sense of the May Day family reunion scene into which the reader is immediately dropped would not be an easy adjustment. There's no actual description of "ritual," but plenty of implications as to what it involves.

Additionally, and I believe deliberately, she didn't make a lot of anthropology-style or sociology-style infodumps in regard to the world-building. In one way, it takes place in modern Canada, partly in the family's "traditional" territory and partly in Calgary. In another way, the Gale extended family, while mostly human, is not quite so, not entirely so, and its members exist in accordance with their own prerequisites, which are not identical with the conventions of the ordinary society around them (though some reviewers would have benefited from reading more carefully before fretting about the level of inbreeding). The Gales go to college; Alysha has a fine arts degree and was working at the Royal Ontario Museum cataloging artifacts before the grant money that paid her ran out; her cousin Roland is a lawyer.

It's a world that the protagonist, Alysha Catherine Gale, knows well, and sees no need to explain at length. She just needs to figure out how to function in the changed circumstances caused by her possibly but not necessarily deceased grandmother's rather unusual bequest.

At the same time, the world of the Gales borders on others, with the result that there are dragon princes in their Calgary. There are sorcerers; ritual requires power and the "Gale girls" are attracted to power -- although, as Alysha points out, power can be variably defined and her father is a high school history teacher.

Excellant book in a hopefully great series

ByG. Robinsonon March 16, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The basic premise of this universe is the Gale family. A group of powerful practitioners (I dislike witch as it is too often a cliche or sufix). There are 5 Gale girls for every guy and many are bi. The list of characters include Allie (AKA Alley-cat), a Leprechaun, an early crush who is gay, her brother (very powerful), Charlie her girl friend, and a host of Aunties. Besides there are dragons, sorcerers, an assassin and a country music band. Nice characters and very well drawn. Nicely written romance without the "obligatory" erotic scenes becoming obtrusive.

Nicely done plot that starts with Allie's Gran leaving her a curiosity shop and then devolves into a lot of perils. Some fun along the way and the description of plane smelling like ass is too often true. Some various humor and a lack of editorial errors and typos. The plot is very good and more substantial than most with a couple nice twists.

A bit reminiscent of some other series but stands alone and I hope that this will not be the last.

Overall an excellent read.
