I got this book in a pile from Buy Nothing. I had never heard of it, but there was a blurb from J.R.R. Tolkien on the cover calling it, “The greatest and most convincing writer of ‘invented worlds’ that I have read.”
I’m pretty far into in, like page 300 of 450 or so… It’s a book that you definitely won’t forget. Even the character names:
Lord Juss, Goldry Bluszco, Lord Spitfire, Brandoch Daha…
It’s written in sort of oldish English, and it took me a minute to get fully engaged in it, but now, I’m really liking it!
The main conflict is between the Demons of Demonland and the Witches of Witchland. But actually, everyone seems to be human, more or less?!
I’m not done yet, so no spoilers please, but I’d love to discuss this book if anyone else has read it!
