( ) A story about a section of the Oregon coast that has been a refuge for some of the last of fantasy life for decades. The Buckingham family has devoted their lives to keeping the refuge safe, but now danger to the refuge is coming from some of the very life it seeks to protect. Also a story of a fractured family learning to trust and rely on one another. Not your usual fantasy. More of a mystery of the Buckingham family-what happened to get to the point they are at and why do they act the way they do. The reader doesn't really know what's going on most of the time, but since some of the characters don't either, it's not too frustrating. Everything gets explained at the end, although the villain's motivations could have been explored a little bit more. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Strange things have always happened in Seavy County, the most rugged stretch of Oregon's coastline. Violent storms spring up like magic, even when the rest of the state enjoys sunshine; unearthly beings are sometimes glimpsed in the twilight; and those who live there understand that a rare enchantment still lives in the world, although they seldom speak of it. For Seavy County is home to not just animal life, but to fantasy life as well: mythical creatures long vanished from the rest of the planet. The last survivors of a bygone age, they lead a precarious existence, skirting the fringes of modern civilization. The Buckingham family has protected the hidden wonders of Seavy County for generations. Forty years ago, Lyssa Buckingham's father lost his life doing just that. Lyssa fled from Seavy County, searching for a more normal life, but found tragedy and heartbreak instead. With her ten-year-old daughter, Emily, in tow, she has come home at last, just as the malignant forces that killed her father are gathering strength once more. Now Lyssa must make some hard choices. About the county, about Emily -- and about the fragile fantasy life that surrounds them all. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
