Book Review of Elsewhere (Tor Fantasy)

Elsewhere (Tor Fantasy)
reviewed on + 18 more book reviews


Bordertown: the city on the edge, halfway between Faerie and the everyday World. Where neither magic nor science can be counted on to work, where the streets are alive with music and art-and where humans and Trueblood elves clash over turf, with halfies caught in the middle.
Like all the other runaways from the World and Faerie alike, Ron came to Bordertown in search of magic, of meaning. What he found was love and fear instead. From the rough splendor and mixed habitues of bohemian Castle Pup, to the banks of Mad River where addicts drown their minds in the dark waters terrible visions, Ron must make his way through battles greater-and graver-than he ever imagined possible.
The answers he seeks may be found on the shelves of Elsewhere, the strangest bookstore in two worlds. And then again, they may only come from inside himself.
