Widdershins
by Charles de Lint
A real grab bag that'll reward you more if you've read some of the earlier Newford stories. Why? Because the cast of characters is rather large, some have backstories or baggage introduced in past stories. Regardless of whether you've read other Newford stories, you'll need to pay attention to all of the characters because it's not so easy to predict who is going to be part of the action.
That's part of the fun here - this cast of major and minor players really moves around. Their adventures are unpredictable with a few story-driving exceptions .
[a:Charles de Lint|8185168|Charles de Lint|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1494881016p2/8185168.jpg] brings together archetypes and bit players from fairy tales, fables, North American, Native American and other legends to pull off this complicated set of stories within stories. He also interweaves the perspective of touring folk musicians all the way down to who's working the merchandise table, setting some of the scenes at gigs and formatting the book with section titles that borrow from traditional music.
It's a busy book that wont be a favorite read for everyone, if you're looking for a little Newford taste test, take a dip with [b:Our Lady of the Harbour (Newford, #1)|291910|Our Lady of the Harbour (Newford, #1) |Charles de Lint|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1233552176s/291910.jpg|283225] or [b:Timeskip|25064074|Timeskip|Charles de Lint|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1425421192s/25064074.jpg|44747979], or to start someplace aside from Newford that'll sorta still get you prepped for this one, maybe try [b:The Wind in His Heart|36049789|The Wind in His Heart|Charles de Lint|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1502863852s/36049789.jpg|57626422] .
