Title: Wonderful subject, a disappointing read
Review: There's something about the rich, mythical history of Scotland that lures me back to books like this. Perhaps it's a tug towards the ancestral home.The warlock surfaces early and as he grows he learns more about harnessing his mystical powers. Human and spiritual experiences and relationships are interwoven such that at times you're not sure what's what. The descriptions of his encounters with creatures from the woods are vivid and the results are often surprising and unexpected.As the warlock loses direction in his life, so does the book and the last 100 pages seem forced - without the magic of early chapters. Perhaps this is a reflection of an ultimately fruitless life?
