review 1: In the scope of how many books I've read over my lifetime, it's a relatively rare thing for an author to write a story strong enough in character to reduce me to tears. It happens. But not often. This is one of those rarities. Oh my, but this one is beautifully done. I really want more stories in the vein of The Painted Boy and The Mystery of Grace. I want more stories from Santo del Vado Viejo.As a reader, I know of no higher compliment to pay an author than to say, "that was truly amazing, more please."Mr. de Lint, "that was truly amazing, more please.":)
review 2: I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the animal-spirit world and lore, and how small and interconnected the town of Santo del Valdo Vejo was, whether the connections were with people, anima
... morel spirits or both. I thought that the whole inner dragon concept was really cool and intriguing, how those like Jay could see him transform into the dragon, but humans only saw the boy. It was a really neat concept as was the concept of the spirit world el entree. I fell in love with the town and cared as much as Jay did about his friends and getting the gangs out. I felt like I was part of his journey. Jay's character was also quite funny and his reactions to events were often akin to my own. less

Wow, was I disappointed in this book. De Lint is usually so, so much better. Review to come.

Not quite as good as some of his others, but still very enjoyable.
