![]() ![]() ![]() I want to walk through the Wardrobe and find Mr. I want to follow Harry to Hogwarts to learn the ways of magic for the first time. This is why I always liked Portal Fantasies, where a regular everyday ho humm person is swooped away into a land of magic and wonder. Now, despite the fact that I will pick up and enjoy the epic fantasy every once in a while, with their fully realized worlds and it’s denizens experienced in its ways I prefer the characters of my fantasy novels to be just as much a novice in the ways of magic and the physics of their fantasy setting as I am. I love gritty realistic thrillers, and high tech science fiction, but with Fantasy, I want the size and style of my universe to be altered in ways I never even would have considered. Of all the genres out there, Fantasy is the one that best evokes a sense of wonder for me. In many ways, this is the novel that JK Rowling’s should have wrote next, an adult fantasy that reminds us of those feelings we would get as a child hiding under our blankets trying to read just one more chapter. Quick Thoughts: The Rook is one of the most fascinating Fantasies I have experienced in a long time, truly touching that sense of wonder as only the best Fantasies can. ![]()
