4.0 out of 5 stars Hold tight and fear ye not..., 31 Oct 2006
By D. Ackerley (Chester, England) - See all my reviews
A steady start that takes a pace drawing the reader in.
With the mortal and fairy worlds having some overlap and sometimes entwined, rivalries within each, personal agendas and long timeless histories are carefully woven into a book that takes it's theme from The Ballad of Tam Lin and gently turns the angle of perspective.
Taking the reader seamlessly between two realms and at times with an urgency in an otherwise timeless realm.
Traditional historical characters have a lesser part as the reader gets carried along through the life of two divided worlds by a couple of it's seemingly everyday but important inhabitants, whose futures are pre-ordained, increasingly they begin to realise this.
Elizabeth Bear anchors this fabulous tale with glimpses of places in our real modern material world, but from where older powers creep through as an age old battle rages, reaches a climax that doesn't necessarily have a 'fairytale' ending but also exposes the personal goals, challenges and costs to the characters who at the start don't realise their roles ahead...

4.0 out of 5 stars Magic, Merlins and Mayhem, 15 Nov 2008
By M. R. N. Shackelford "mark shackelford" (Worthing, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Blood and Iron (Roc Fantasy) (Paperback)
What fun! A thoroughly detailed universe where the world of (modern) man is linked with the world of the Fae. Clever ideas link the two worlds - and with enough imagination you can see the shadows concealing the Seekers in your own house... A battle between the two worlds rages, bringing in Werewolves, King Arthur and a huge Dragon, along with a host of believable (but strange) characters from legend and myth (or perhaps Shakespeare) - Puck, Peaseblossom and an assortment of goblins, bogies and fairies.
The book is not at all "fey" but a robust tale (and the fairies swear!) that zooms along like a thriller, mixed with Arthurian Legend, a dash of fairy [faerie] tales and nursery rhymes, and the underlying theme of the legendary ballad of Tam Lin.
I have already ordered the second book in the series...
