The Books of Magic

1993Neil Gaiman

2.4/5

Tim Hunter is destined to become a great magician... isn't he? Four magical beings take him on realms other than his own, to educate and warn Tim about the path he is about to embark upon.It is up to Tim to choose his destiny. Great power comes at great cost and it may be more than he is willing to pay."Child, magic exists. There are powers, and forces, and realms beyond the fields you know."The worlds Neil Gaiman has created in The Books of Magic are haunting and layered and will stick with you after you've finished the story and closed the book.So... typical Gaiman then."The true Atlantis is inside you, just as it's inside all of us. The sunken land is lost beneath the dark sea, lost beneath the waves of wet, black stories and myths that break upon the shores of our minds."Beyond the story, the artwork is beautiful in each volume, but different from artist to artist. Not in a jarring way, just noticeably different."It's like there's a whole other world, that I never knew existed, side by side with the old one."Recommended for adults or mature teenagers. There are some scares and thrills on this fantasy journey through other worlds.
