Summary: The First Great Contemporary Fantasy
Comment: Moonheart was the very first deLint book(and contemporary fantasy book) that I'd ever read. It's still only surpassed in genre by Neil Gaiman's work, and de Lint has never risen to this level again(except maybe with The Little Country). When work of this type has this kind of quality, it has a sense of true magic in the ordinary. That is what flows out of this book in torrents. From the beloved characters to the sense of wonder behind every corner and the sheer vision of this piece of literature, Moonheart has earned a place on my favorites list and in my heart.

Summary: True Magic
Comment: After reading Moonheart, I was desperately sorry that I hadn't read any of his books before! There is so much True Magic in his writing; pure enchantment. This book sends shivers of delight and terror down your spine. Definitely my new favourite author of modern fantasy fiction. The characters seem to take on a life of their own, until you could almost believe that they are living and breathing in the room with you. The plot is so compelling that I read it cover to cover in one sitting. I can't think of any other writer to compare Charles De Lint to; he is definitely in a class all his own. I can't wait to read more. After all, who doesn't wish to cross over into Otherworlds? Reading a Charles De Lint book might be the next best thing

Summary: A lovely read -
Comment: This is a charming story with interesting characters - including, incredibly, the great bard Talesien - and a story line that doesn't race, but never drags for a moment. Tamson House and its mysteries are some of de Lint's best, the characters interesting and nuanced (well, mostly - de Lint doesn't seem able to craft a convincing policeman), and the great swooping confrontations between forces of good and evil - and sometimes between good and good - are carried off well. It has everything you can reasonably ask for in a good fantasy novel. Fans of de Lint's later work can safely buy this one without disappointment, and if you've never touched one of his books, this is a nice one-off or a good introduction to an excellent body of work. Seekers of hidden knowledge will find some things of interest here, as well. If you become enamoured of the weirdin discs introduced in this book, be sure to visit his web site and let him know.
