3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Ancient legend tells of an army of knights that will remain sleeping until the last days. The knights are waking up. A homeless man is stalked by a pale, wraithlike creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth. Maimed animals and a host of suicides cluster around a mountain in Scotland. And deep beneath the cobbled streets of Oxford, a malicious hoard besieges a hidden city. Freya Reynolds is a university student with a touch of OCD and an obsession with myth and folklore. Daniel Tully is living rough on the streets of Oxford, waging a secret war against an enemy only he can identify. Years ago, they found themselves in a world few know is real. They have since gone their separate ways and tried to put that adventure behind them. But the mythical world is now bleeding into our realitya dark spiritual evil that is manifesting itself in forgotten corners of the British Isles. Alex Simpson is a Scottish police officer who specializes in hunting mythical creatures. Together, they must confront the past, the present, and points beyond to defeat the ultimate threat to humanity. Nothing they've seen so far prepares them for what awaits . . . in The Realms Thereunder.

Pickpick

I think this is a solid pick. It‘s a little slow at times but about what I would expect for the first book of a trilogy. It also has a few good lessons for the audience along the way. I wouldn‘t recommend it to every person, but Anglophiles, fans of folklore, and fantasy readers should enjoy it. And June‘s #doublespin is checked off.
