J.M. (Joe)'s Reviews > The Well Between the Worlds

A largely creative mishmash of Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles (The Book of Three, etc.) and Bernard Cornwell's King Arthur (The Winter King, etc.), albeit not written as fluidly or in-depth as either of those excellent series. Nevertheless, enjoyable, and with monsters. I'm adding it to my son's bookshelves and have ordered the second book in the series, Darksolstice, as I'm rather invested in the fates of Idris and Morgan and old Ambrose.

A 3.5 star read, rounded up to four. The world itself is quite creative (four stars here), albeit ambiguous in details at times. The character personalities just seem to skim the surface though, so Lyonesse gets just two stars for character dev. I do recommend it for fans of the aforementioned series and anyone 11 years old and up who's interested in fantasy worlds.
