Lyonesse, Well
Between The Worlds by Sam Llewellyn is not what you may go in
expecting if you knew this is loosely based on the King Arthur story.
In fact, though, it is!
Idris Limpet is just
a poor boy from a poor family in a city near the shore. He has grown
up the son of a fisherwoman and a soldier. Nothing spectacular.
Until you realize he has a pet seagull. And then you learn that he
can see what the gull can see. Cool, right?
But completely
unacceptable, in general, in his culture. Thankfully, right before
he was killed for being different, he was saved and rushed away from
everything and everyone he knew to begin a new life among complete
strangers and learn new skills… to become a monstergroom.
Monsters are the
fuel of the day and monstergrooms tend the monsters which move the
gears of this world's machines. That's just the way it is.
Idris learns to
question the way things are and begins to imagine a better way.
Thankfully, by
nature of his true parentage, he may just be in a position to do
something about it!
I enjoyed and
recommend Lyonesse, Well Between the Worlds. It caught my
attention and held it, even though at times it felt very much like I
was in a dream world while reading. I enjoyed it. My two eldest
daughters really love it, too. My second daughter said she liked it
as much as another series that has been her favorite for a while now.
Have you read
