Dear Shadowland,
You are a book that is older than I am. I found you muddy, and confusing and difficult to read. There were parts of your story that I enjoyed, but not enough to say that you were a worthy story. The rules of magic and world building were difficult and inconsistent and there were so many narrative jumps that I struggled to find meaning. I don't know if this is typical of all Straub stories, but I am not in a rush to read any more.
