What a great read!

War for the Oaks by Emma Bull

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


4.5 stars

I understand this book was a pioneer in the urban fantasy world. One could only wish that the subsequent urban fantasy was as good.

At first it felt tired and old hat to me, but gradually, Emma Bull's world and characters began to build and before you know it, I was enchanted.

It's a tour de force of music, magic, honor, courage, and love. The Pouka is the most endearing and lovable character I've come across in a long time. Eddi's character gradually develops depth and the story takes off. The peripheral characters are delightful. Willy Silver is a true tragic hero. I'm smiling and happy.
