Book Review of Darkchild

Darkchild
tracymar avatar reviewed on + 408 more book reviews


This and Ursula Le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea are my favorite fantasy/sci fi books of all time - and both have a similar theme, related to owning one's shadow. Beautifully written and readable simply as a story or as a spiritual/psychological allegory, this tale of the young Khira and her developing friendship with the strange and troublesome Darkchild will haunt you for years.
