Book Reviews of The Harp of the Grey Rose
Book Review: Harp of the Grey Rose
Summary: 4 Stars
This tale was about Cerin, a young orphan and harper who ends up meeting a magical woman and fighting to save her and the world. It's not exactly the most original plot, but it was a great book none the less. I loved Cerin, and I found him to be a great protagonist not only for his strengths, but for his weaknesses. It was nice to see him doubt himself at times, and be pushed to physical limits--it was a diificult journey for him and that made it more realistic. As for Grey Rose, I think she was a bit two dimensional, but she wasn't annoying. I will say the first encounter with a villainwas underwhelming, but after that the story really picked up. My biggest issue was the constant references to all sorts of magical beings that weren't actually present in the story. There was a large hierarchy of mythical beings that I couldn't keep track of, and I got tired of always turning to the glossary in the back to try to remember who was who. Overall, I loved it, and I'm sure most de Lint fans will.
