When reading this book I think, for one main reason, it is important to understand when it was written. For there is one particular character, that of written today I would think would be written very differently. That's the character of Camo. Don't get me wrong, Camo is a very endearing and delightful character, but he is introduced to us by being described as a halfwit, and behaves in a very stereotypical way for times less enlightened about mental disabilities as we are today. So this fact kept jarring with me. But I have to be forgiving. Apart from that this was as warning and as delightful as Dragonsong. Though I can't say there is as much character development as I'm used to I'm modern literature, it's a wonderful capsule of another age of literature.

This book was very interesting. You don't have to buy into the whole Jungian interpretations to enjoy it. Some of it resonated with me, and some of it didn't, but, as a literature major, I found it fascinating, and I loved the myths/stories alone. I gave it four stars because it was too repetitive at times for my liking.
