Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Californians Gloria and Philip Hastings migrate to upstate New York to live in an old farmhouse near a stretch of virgin forest. The three Hastings children are soon caught up in a love-hate relationship with Celtic creatures of mythology that inhabit the dark and mysterious wood. An oft-told tale of a new family in a haunted house/land, this better-than-average dark fantasy novel features solid writing, strong development of both human and nonhuman characters, and a well-realized sense of geography. A tantalizing sense of foreboding permeates the novel and makes it highly readable. By the author of Magician , this is recommended for middle-sized and larger public libraries. BOMC featured selection. James B. Hemesath, Adams State Coll. Lib., Alamosa, Col.

Let me cut to the chase. I loved this book! I simply could not put it down. I only lament the fact that I had left it sitting unread on my bookshelf for years. It is really unlike anything else I have ever before read. The book that comes closest is "The Stolen Child" by Keith Donohue. So, if you enjoyed that book, you will definitely enjoy this one.
In this book, the author, who is renowned for his epics in the fantasy genre, gives the reader a contemporary tale interspersed with elements of fantasy and horror. Well-written and highly imaginative, the author fully engages the reader with this finely crafted story about a family who, seeking respite from the pressures of our modern day world, move from California to a small hamlet in upstate New York. Little do they know that their new home, set in a bucolic, rural setting, is really a gateway to another world, one that is inhabited by creatures of ancient lore. They will soon discover that looks can be deceiving and that ancient forces are at work all around them.
Be prepared to be swept away by magical portents and a faerie world that exists side by side with our world. Know that the battle between good and evil is ever present. This is a wonderfully told tale of a family that finds itself engulfed by events beyond their ken. So skillfully does the author tell this dark, well-crafted story that the unbelievable quickly becomes believable, fully engaging the reader in an absorbing book that the reader will find impossible to put down. Bravo!

Even though being a bit on the darker side, this book is nevertheless quite a beauty. Feist managed to place a fantasy story in our time without making it look ridiculous, and which kept me thrilled to the last page. And that even though i usually don't like books where kids are the main characters.
One of the few books that doesn't read as if you already did, just from another author. I can only recommend getting it, if you can.

And, as I'm sure you might guess by reading the generally good reviews for the books of Raymond E. Feist, his books are in fact pretty good. I certainly like them. And I loved this one.
It is not his typical fantasy book, though, so readers of his other works should keep that in mind. This book is more of a cross between modern suspense/horror and fantasy. It is a great read, one of those hard to put down kinda books. Mr. Feist weaves a delightful tale that will thrill you page after page.
He has a very interesting idea about how things might be with regards to the 'handling' of supernatural events, also. I won't say more, so as not to spoil anything, as this part of the tale comes at the end. But if you are intrigued by the concept, other writers such as Katherine Kurtz sort of work a similiar idea in some of their tales.
At any rate, this is one of my favorite books to recommend, so that is what I shall do. Recommend it to you!

A book unsure of which genre it belongs to
Feist has created an odd little entry into the fantasy realm with Faerie Tale. This novel is at times a light romance, whimsical fantasy, historical fiction and soft porn - to name... Lesen Sie weiter...

Great but superficially flawed story
I thouroughly enjoyed this title, and the author's attention to detail is wonderful. However, I felt some of the nearly pornographic sequences could have been toned down. Lesen Sie weiter...

An excellent book marred by a poor ending
This is an excellent book - a combination of fantasy and horror, though leaning more towards the fantasy. The characters are well developed, and seem quite real. Lesen Sie weiter...

Excellent -- Feist really did his homework on Faerie lore.
The plot moves along well, w/ good character development. The story includes a wealth of knowledge on basic Irish and a little Welsh Faerie lore, with of course some artistic... Lesen Sie weiter...

Great, Feist should abandon Midkemia for the real world
I'm reading this back to-back with the "Serpent War Silliness Saga", cause our local library has gone a little Feist-crazy and bought all of his books. Lesen Sie weiter...

One of the worst I've ever read!!!!!!!!!
I have read almost all of raymonds books, and I have enjoyed reading all of them. however, this book is another story. The plot and the story was ok, but it was extremly slow. Lesen Sie weiter...

Great book but a tease once it's finished.
I really loved this book. It was scary and emotional and really stirred my more primitive and basic insticts. It could turn me on one minute then scare me the next. Lesen Sie weiter...
