In this, the third installment of the Tapestry series by Henry Neff, the fantastical world of Rowan has slid into the distopian reshaping of the world under Astaroth. Max McDaniels is a refreshing re-articulation of the mythic hero that plays on both Irish folklore and the typical expectations of the young adult Bildingsroman. I would definitely recommend this text to anyone who reads young adult fantasy novels, but also any fans of the mythic hero archetype. Additionally, this text breaks the mold in continuous and unexpected ways. The occasional loss or tragedy keeps the tale fresh with both heartbreak and motivation.
It's actually funny to me that I ended up rating this book a five, because although I love The Tapestry Series this book was hugely depressing. That being said, the last chapter was so unexpected and so fun that I could read from read from start to finish again.Overall I would not say Henry Neff is a great writer. There are plenty of things I could complain about his style, grammar, vocab, etc... But Henry Neff is perhaps one of the greatest, most creative story tellers of our time. Kids can get a lot from his writing, if nothing else, their minds will be opened to an even broader imagination.
kinda confusing but all in all its good
