So far, just as good as the first time.

Good to be in de Lint's world again. This isn't Newford but it is Newford adjacent.

This book is not good. Unless, of course, you want to read book (well mostly) book you have read before with little originality.

This book is not good. It is a just a collection of the author's favorite books growing up with his new skin on it. Clearly, he either like Lord of the Flies or Hunger Games with a dash of Harry Potter, and sprinkle of British aristocracy.

So far, mediocre at best and it wears all its influences so loudly its painful.

Still holding up after all these years. I wish hadn't heard that Feist himself wasn't such an arrogant prick though. Still, this was one of my gateway books into fantasy, and I am enjoying revisiting it.

Re-reading one of the first fantasy books I had ever read. So far, holding up decently, but wow, I remember very little it seems after 30ish years.

Man, Goodreads really should use the description of the book that is on the book. The one here has a fairly large spoiler. It doesn't ruin it, but it does remove a giant mystery from the book that I would have rather explored on my own than been told what it is from the outset.
