Little grrl lost6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() And as usual, he writes some of the best female characters out there, despite the fact that he is, well, a man. De Lint does a great job of infusing the modern urban world with a true sense of wonder, a feeling that, if you looked out of the corner of your eye, you might actually encounter a fairy or a hobb somewhere. ![]() But I do like the direction he’s been going lately with his YA stuff, so I was excited for this book. Not all of his books are keepers - in fact, I’ve been on sort of a losing streak with the last few of his releases I’ve read - but none are godawful, except, possibly, Spirits in the Wires, which I choose to pretend never happened. He’s one of the few authors out there who really gives me a sense of wonder when I visit his world. Every time I pick up an urban fantasy, I keep hoping for a de Lint-esque writing experience. He’s remained a consistent favorite for me for many years. YA Urban fantasy released by Viking Juvenile 6 Sep 07 Shannon C.’s review of Little (Grrl) Lost (Newford series)by Charles de Lint ![]()
