4.25

For me this isn't in the same tier as Memory & Dream(the only other De Lint I have read) but still did have very high highs. I think he just has a great strength for making you see the sense of wonder in the world, really good at non manipulative emotional impact.

I will say I think some of his dialogue can be a touch stilted, and that some of the stories in the middle were a little middling. But the last few closed incredibly strongly.

8.3/10
