| I'll be keeping this space updated with all the reviews I write in the future for A Dribble of Ink. First off is a review of Neil Gaiman's recently released The Graveyard Book: | Quote: | Over the holiday season I picked up, Neil Gaiman’s Stardust, a novel that I had been saving for years. Gaiman is a special case for me, I don’t read his novels lightly, instead saving them for special occasions when I need a reminder why I first fell so in love with reading. Stardust was a mesmerizing read – full of dashing heroes, dastardly villains and a living, breathing Fey world – and perhaps is my favourite novel by my favourite author.
Despite all of this I never wrote a review of Stardust. Why? It’s hard to say. It feels a little above me, to write a casual review of a novel that affected me so much, written by an author who seems nigh untouchable. I’d only be adding to the avalanche of praise already heaped upon the classic novel. In many ways that adoration (and, by extension, all the good things said in the following review) spilled over into my experience with Gaiman’s latest novel, The Graveyard Book, another wonderful sign pointing to Gaiman’s status as a living legend of fairytale literature and Speculative Fiction. |
