calistareads 's review for:
Orpheus in the Underworld
by Mike Carey
I knew this was the 8th volume in the series and it was about Orpheus. I wanted to check it out. This was way more than I thought I was getting. I want to go back to the first one and start from the beginning. This was really good.
What I can gather, this man is able to go into a world where he makes stories real. This land is not a easy land. The opening of the story is a Jane Austin heroine selling her body for food. The stories are real here and they have teeth and knives and all kinds of torture devices. It was not strictly an Orpheus telling, but it followed the outline. Hades had been replaced by a rabbit.
It is like a nightmare that is constantly meshing all these stories together. I actually enjoyed this. There is a lot here.
