Celtika by Robert Holdstock

5.0

This is the fifth book in a series I am calling "quarantine life." With our public libraries closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, I've turned to my bookshelves to check out books that I have not read yet.

This book has sat on my shelves for close to 20 years and whenever I've looked at it I've thought that it didn't look very good. What a colossal mistake.... I was startled by how great this book was: incredible writing, engaging plot, and deeply drawn characters. Although I only have fleeting knowledge of both Arthurian and Greek myth, it didn't matter. I am very eager to start on the next book, which has also sat on my shelf for 20 years....
