Has anyone here read Mythago Woods by Robert Holdstock.
I just picked it up off my books shelves recently (Can't remember where I came by it). :goof:
Still I started reading it at a leisurely pace, and i'm quite pleased to say that I've almost finished it.
I love the dynamix of the story, the inpenetrable mysterious woods that bend time and space, the mythago's, the vortex, and the workings of the inner woods. I also like the hero, and the heroine, and the unexpected villian. My goodness, I'd love to live in a place like oak lodge, the Rhyhope woods, merely for the adventurish aspects.
I also am a great fan of Celtic/ Nordic tales, and this novel is chocked full of Celtic, Anglo-saxon, norse mythology. Truly it has so far been a brilliant work.

Your thoughts anyone who has read it?

You can find more info here, Anyone interested I can suggest Mythago Wood as an enjoyable Fantasy novel, which seems plausible.

Ye gads, nobody has obviously heard of this book aside from me.
Mwahaha how enpowering.

I read this when I was a kid, too long ago for me to remember much about it. I would like to re-read it again now, I might understand it better (I was 10 or 11 at the time)

Its quite good, a bit dry in some places, but really livens up as the story progresses.
