A Myth to the Night is an intricate work of imagination, adventure, mystery, fantasy and the paranormal. The story line is very original compared to other regurgitated works found in the young adult fantasy genre. Stauros Island is depicted as mysterious and somewhat sinister. One unusual characteristic of the island is that phantoms can come live as real beings, but only at night. During the day, the water retreats to reveal a causeway that connects it to the mainland but at night the water covers the causeway, thus isolating the island throughout the night.Cora Choi does a good job of drawing the reader in right from the very start. I was intrigued by the island and the overall story. I was also left questioning the reason behind the mysterious disappearances of the students who had made contact with Hugh Fogg. This is a great start to an amazing young adult fantasy series---I can't wait to read the next installment.
