karenholmes 's review for:
Spring's Arcana
by Lilith Saintcrow
As a big fan of Neil Gaiman and all kinds of mythology this book was really meant for me. While reading I felt it spoke to me directly and made me laugh and hug the kindle while reading the eArc. At times I felt I wasn't smart enough to get all the the different little clues, at others I just felt like riding along but when I did pick a hint of who a character was or I could relate it to someone else I felt so full filled.
I loved Nat's story, her growing up in a small little yellow house in NY, her conversations with the cats and how she slowly discovers who she really is or what she has to do. This is also a journey of discovery of both a world of gods and of self discovery as one of them. Or not quite yet one of them if you want me to be closer to the truth.
But anyway I feel you will like it if you love urban fantasy with a softer than normal main character, all things mythology but with some twists and a dash of pop culture in the mix. At the beginning I compared it to October Daye by Seanan McGuire (my favorite series, can't change that) but then I felt more and more the American Gods comparison. Anyway, the story stands on its own and it's a great and fun read.
Thank you Tor and Netgalley for the eArc. I can't wait to read the second one (as this one is left in a huge cliff hanger).
