Last Born of Elvinwood by Linda Haldeman
This is more of a 3.5...I want to think about the book before I decide. Its not quite what I was expecting.
I liked it. It felt a little underdone in places but it definitely draws you in.
This magical little escapade was a wonderful surprise. Expecting a silly "high fantasy" novel, I chose to read Haldeman's once-printed novel of myth and magic set in modern(ish)-day England on a lark. How fortunate I was! The novel is enriched with many allusions to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and many of its most popular characters. Rather than feel like a spin-off, The Lastborn of Elvinwood is a well-crafted and exciting novel full of original, endearing characters.
I fear that this novel will fall into obscurity soon, if it has not already. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more of Haldeman's works - I'm a fan! I only wish I had found this novel much, much sooner.… (more)
