I’m more familiar with his work as an artist, especially with Charles De Lint: https://agreenmanreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/circle_viking.jpg Queen of Summer’s Twilight is his first crack as an author: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61369669-the-queen-of-summer-s-twilight
minus-squareMcBinary@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoInteresting, artist turned author?! How is his writing?
minus-squareJordan Lund@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoPretty flowery, like his artwork. :) Story is similar to other works he’s illustrated for people like Neil Gaiman. Young woman, growing up in England, isolated by her strict father, looking for information about her mysterious, missing mother. Looks like she may actually be playing host for the spirit of the Faerie Queen.
