The Drawing of the Dark

I originally read this in the 80s and I enjoyed it immensely. Once again I enjoyed reading the book. Perhaps because I'm now older I had a greater appreciation of the world weary cynicism of the ageing warrior, Brian Duffy.

I generally only read literary fiction, but I make an exception for some fantasy writers. Tim Powers is one of those writers. Declare and Last Call are amongst my favorite novels. This novel, however, fell flat. The lack of a cohesive ending, paired with a less than coherent plot made this a dud for me. I'd have given it two and a half stars if I could, but only because of my love of anything involving the Fisher King (who I wish we'd seen and heard more from).
