“Another collection of stories taking place in Newford, de Lint's fictional city somewhere in Canada. These stories range from being very good to meh... They are decidedly unified in their outlook and their optimism. Unlike his earlier stories, in these the magic always works to a somewhat positive effect. And it becomes so insistent that it begins to feel like he's preaching: "It doesn't matter whether its real or not, what matters is your attitude towards it and whether that attitude leads you to opening up your life or closing yourself off to possibilities."
It's a nice message, and I probably would have liked it more had I encountered one of these stories in its original publication. As a collection, however, it started to become a bit heavy handed.
On the plus side, the writing is graceful as ever. I continue to enjoy the appearances of his continuing characters. I'm not entirely sure about his insistence on writing from the perspective of female characters, but it seems to me that he does it quite well And there were a few stories here I found touching.
Not my favorite de Lint so far, but worth reading, especially since I've basically decided I will read at least all of the Newford books, if not everything he wrote.”
