Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock

2.0

5/10 - Interesting, original story that clearly inspired other books I have read in this kind of magical realism/speculative fiction genre. Definitely shows its age when you read though, particularly in language and descriptions of the main female 'love interest'. The last 50-100 pages or so are a little confusing as well, I feel like this book really emphasises when an author has a fantastic plot idea but doesn't quite flesh out the characters and motivations. For this reason I struggled to connect with the characters and understand the choices they made.
