Mythago Wood: 1 (Mythago Cycle)

Product Information

I remember a long section of walking, an encounter or two, then the meeting of a mysterious shaman who explains all. My editor at the time apparently flung the MS across the room in disgust, though now he claims it to be the best of the Mythago Cycle). Steven is no exception, quickly becoming convinced he loves her, and that this time, it is their destiny. I'm just not that interesting in reading this dark, deeply sexist (woman=native=other) fantasy manifestation of Jungian theory. The whole "am I becoming a myth myself" aspect of the main character's part of the story was awesome and there was level of straight up cool-ness in everything going on that I rarely find in my reading these days.

I am personally fond of Harry because our names are one letter away from being the same Keeton/Keeten. For the first time I was able to give full rein to the ‘Green Men’ I created, the ‘daurog’; and I was also able to give my characters a better diet! The next morning, Christian tells Steven he must go into the woods ""Inwards,"", where he disappears with a rucksack for several weeks. La concezione del mito, nonché il fascino dello stesso nella sua perpetua rielaborazione durante il tempo, è il cardine principale su cui si delinea la foresta di Rhyope, autonoma realtà spazio-temporale che sfugge alla comprensione umana.In the entirely of British and North European mythos and folklore, the author couldn't think of a single female figure except sexy soothsayer and sexy princess-object. Thankfully, the book is saved by exquisite trees, vines, roots, creatures, crumbling towers, and a virulent whirlpool of intoxicating imagery. I may not see eye to eye with my sisters all of the time, but the ties between us are strong--I just couldn't find the rivalry of Chris and Steven to be believable. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The existence in the wood of archetypal heroes and villains from across the ages, all living together at the same time, each in his own clothes and weapons. U pitanju je retko atmosferičan roman koji gotovo neprimetno uvlači čitaoca u priču i zarobljava ga, gotovo kao čarobna šuma oko koje pripovedač kruži veći deo knjige, a koja namami i njegovog oca i brata. Earthy, creepy and very much of its time, Mythago Wood deals more in the primaeval tham contempirary fantasy novels. While fascinating in healthy doses, the indulgence in historicity creates a lack of character development.Two weeks after Christian hiked into the woods, Steven finds a woman's body buried under the chicken huts. I cannot remember my folklore well enough, but it intrigues me to think that tales -of Arthur and his Knights, perhaps (Sir Kay? Mythago Woods is a dark book, not grimdark dark, more like dirt under your fingernails, sweat streaming down your face, salt stinging your eyes, gritty kind of dark.

Also, the parts of the story taken from a diary are in a handwriting style that I found difficult to decipher.The Urscumug was generated on purpose by George Huxley and is a malevolent and ancient variation on the woodwose.
