Book Reviews of Widdershins (Newford)

Book Review: A Real Disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars

I'm a de Lint fan and love the familiar characters from his Newford universe but this book was a big disappointment. Finally, he tackles the long-twarted love of two well-known characters but he seems unable or unwilling to treat this narrative with the attention it deserves. Instead, he constructs a convoluted "good v. evil," "humanity hangs in the balance" battle out of nothing -- a great deal of noise and nonsense to add drama to what should already be drama enough. It's just too much. Readers should go back to his earlier Newford novels when the human element of the story is not overshadowed by rampaging buffalo spirits.
