Abook for those who love books from any angle!

Highly recommended to fantasy fans and those who just love a fun yarn (with more teeth behind the ideas than you expect).

This book is so much fun that I don't want to say much in this review to spoil the ride for anyone. Let's just say that by page 80 or so, I was hooked.

Also, the idea of a dryad in the passenger seat (and a vampire in the trunk) of a magicked-up sports car with the title character conjured up Kurt Russell's monologues from Big Trouble in Little China to my amusement.

This book deserved a full 5 stars (a rarity for me) because it stayed with me long after finishing. On further thought, it also hit me on a number of different levels and it'll appeal to any of the following fans:

Are you a fantasy or science fiction fan? You'll really love this book for its shout-outs to many and varied examples of those genres.

Like good world building and fascinating magic structures? This book's got more than a few surprises (and I've worked with so many magic structures in many game and fiction worlds, so it's tough to surprise me).

Do you love books as objects as well as content? Are you a fan of printing, fonts, typography, and graphic design? There's stuff to really enjoy in this book for book geeks.

There! Anyone who needs more convincing to read this book obviously is far too skeptical to enjoy this book as much as I have.
