Fantasy, quest, folklore and legend all rolled into one
I don’t read a great deal of fantasy so wasn’t sure what to
expect when I started to read The Star Child. However, I was taken on a journey
through the lands of Faerie with Kellen and Calienta. Kellen is a mortal but
Calienta is immortal, with many powers. They embark on a quest which must be
successful if good is to win, if they fail in their quest the world will be
doomed to darkness forever. In the process they meet many dangers as well as
gods, faeries, demons, while the hounds of hell are never very far behind.
So on one level this was the story of a battle between good
and evil, and on another level a romance between a mortal and an immortal, and
a choice will have to be made by the end of the story. Will Kellen choose to
become an immortal or will Calienta relinquish her immortal status to become a
mortal, so that the couple can be together? If I told you what the decision
was, that would be a spoiler, so if you want to know you’ll have to read the
book to find out.
This was a fantasy with its roots in celtic legend and
folklore and was an interesting read.
