On a scale of five stars, give this a five, brightly." "This is a lush and wonderful tale of discovery, relationships and mystery that is perfect for young adults or any grown-up who remembers what it was like to learn that not everything is always as it seems.If you like being pulled into a story, enjoy characters that spring off the page and revel in a tale that makes you ache for more, A Green and Ancient Light will certainly shine for you. Fans of John Connolly’s The Book of Lost Things will enjoy this bittersweet fantasy with a mystery at its core." "Durbin’s gorgeously atmospheric novel solidly shares the fantasy-and historical-fiction genres.a delicate dance between reality and fantasy, ominous soldiers and late-night fairy music. This is a magical book that will appeal to those who loved Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane and John Connolly’s The Book of Lost Things." * "Durbin gives his story an old-fashioned fairy-tale feel.and imbues his settings with a languorous sense of being outside of time. "A Green and Ancient Light combines beautiful writing, romance, war, mystery, and faery fantasy into one compelling, delightful story suitable for grownup or not so grownup readers alike." * "This gentle, engaging, and very personal coming-of-age story is mythic in its universality."
