The Book of Air and Shadows, by Michael Gruber
I am only on page 60 or so, but the style of wriging seems to be clear. Humorous narrative, with some odd personalities entwined (and lots of them!), but intriguing. The olde English prose, which seems to be a part of the mysterious manuscript found that is worth killing for, is a bit difficult to get through, but fascinating. I’m seeing the pattern in the language and getting through it faster each time a section of the manuscript is revealed. In only 60 pages I’ve met quite a few people, and it’s a little overwhelming, but enjoyable. So far, so good.
