Book Reviews of The Last Rainbow
Book Review: A Lovely Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a lovely intermingling of two worlds. On the one side is Patrick, a fiery young priest enamoured with the idea of leading Ireland to the faith. On the other side is the Prydn: a nomadic people blessed with a great love of life and Earth, but slowly marginalised into the feared and hated faerie folk. Patrick is drawn into a small tribe of Prydn, most of whom shine with their own fierce diamond-bright personalities: thoughtful, determined Dorelai, gentle Drust, bold Cru, and a host of others. The interplay and exchange of knowledge between the two worlds--the world of Christianity and the world of magic--is so gradual and sensual that it almost feels like lovemaking. Soon enough, though, we come to realise that both Patrick and the prydn queen Dorelai share a commons sin--pride--that draws them irresistably into the climax of the tale.Stylistic shifts abound, allowing the readers to look through the minds and eyes of all the myriad cultures displayed. The use of language is rich and deft, frequently dissolving into comedy, and just with as much mastery turning into a passionate love story and a richly wrought history. There's something for everybody at the end of this Rainbow.
