Reminded me a lot of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, Man gets sucked into the world of myth because he's in the wrong place at the wrong time and he ends up being the right man in the right place ( ) I really enjoyed this novel. There was a lot of action, mystery and suspense. It was a thriller set in a fantasy world. I loved all of the different myths and legends from a variety of cultures introduced to the story. The story was the first in a trilogy and not much was resolved at the end of the first book. I will definitely be reading the next two books to see where Golden takes the story. If you like a lot of action and quite a bit of magic in your mystery/thrillers, I would recommend you check this series out. One warning is that there were some very violent scenes and the murder of children, so if that bothers you, you might want to take a pass. Don't be confused by the title. This is not about people hunting myths, it is about a normal person from 'our' world who crossed the veil into faerie. The creatures of faerie are being hunted by something seeking to wipe them out for an unknown reason. Worse, they can sometimes cross into our world and kill people here too. Very creative, somewhat original and well written. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Veil (1)
In this enthralling new tale from bestselling author Christopher Golden, one man is drawn into a realm just across the veil from our own, where every captivating myth and fairy tale is true, the vanished exist–and every fear is founded…. Yielding to his father's wishes, Oliver Bascombe abandoned his dream of being an actor and joined the family law firm. Now he will marry a lovely young woman bearing the Bascombe stamp of approval. But on the eve of his wedding, a blizzard sweeps in–bringing with it an icy legend who calls into question everything Oliver believes about the world and his place in it…. Pursued by a murderous creature who heeds no boundaries, Jack Frost needs Oliver's help to save both himself and his world–an alternate reality slowly being displaced by our own. To help him, Oliver Bascombe, attorney-at-law, will have to become Oliver Bascombe, adventurer, hero–and hunted. So begins a magnificent journey where he straddles two realities…and where, even amid danger, Oliver finds freedom for the very first time. From the Trade Paperback edition.
