"Luck is sweet. A gift, a loan. When you have made your use of it, it goes on, undiminished. Power is finite and when one has it, it means another doesn't." -Charles de Lint "Forests of the Heart"
I read this book about a week ago and I keep thinking of that quote (and actually you wouldn't believe how hard it was to find it online, harder still to try and flip through and find it, I should have just bookmarked it when I read it since it struck me). Just one of those things that you read, and it makes you think, something that pops at you and you keep thinking about it long after your done with the book. I'm still thinking about it and I'm about 70 pages in the uncut version of S.K. "The Stand"...it gives it a funny taste. Thus why I'm deciding to write about it, hoping it put it to rest for the rest of the 1,000 pages of the current read.
Anyone else read any Charles de Lint? Apparently I've read 4 by him, which are the 4 that I own:
Forests of the Heart
The Harp of the Grey Rose
Into the Green
Wolf Moon
And I keep trying to find out if there's any real "sequel" to Forests of the Heart, but all I can find is that it's of the Newford series, which is less of a series and more of a cluster of books that has common characters. I liked Bettina and I want to read more about the cadejos.
