Review: A Worthy Sequel

This is very much a continuation of Amber Magic. It advances the plot and gives us a better sense of the characters. I really like pretty much any scene involving Tomkin. He's like the unholy offspring of Rumpelstiltskin, Gollum, and Gurgi.The first three chapters, which don't directly involve any of the main characters, are easily the best ones in the book. They're kind of like new fairy tales, but not in the sense that they retell Jack and the Beanstalk or any such nonsense. They are short stories that give you a strong impression of exactly how these Faerie creatures think and act, and how they interact with humans.As with Amber Magic, Sky Magic is not even close to being the end of the story. If you want to know how it ends, you'll have to buy the next book.
