Summary

When Sara and Jamie discovered the artifacts, they sensed the pull of a dim, distant place, a world of misty forests, ancient magics, mythical beings, ageless bards...and restless evil.

Now, with their friends and enemies alike - Blue, the biker; Keiran, the folk musician; the inspector from the RCMP; and the mysterious Tom Hengyr - Sara and Jamie are drawn into this enchanted land through the portals of a sprawling downtown edifice that straddles two worlds.

From ancient Wales to the streets of Ottawa today, Moonheart entrances listeners with its tale of this world and the other one at the very edge of sight. A tale of music, motorcycles, and fey folk beyond the shadows of the moon, Moonheart is pure magic.

Critic reviews

"He shows that, far from being mere escapism, contemporary fantasy can be the deep mythic literature of our time." (Fantasy and Science Fiction)

a great collection of characters.

I really liked how the story takes us into unpredictable situations with twists and turns of the storyline.

Bedtime story

This is the dullest book I’ve listened to for a long time, made more dull by the narrator who manages to flatten already pancake-like prose into thinnest leaf. It has a supreme virtue - it is wonderfully soporific. A great bedtime listen; no need for any other sleeping draught! One disadvantage is that I don’t really know what’s happening in the story - I gave up at chapter 4 - or was it 5? But I don’t think I’ll miss much. Night, night …

Nostalgic 1980's Fantasy

I remember reading de Lint way back when and eagerly awaiting his next offering. I was somewhat younger then and found the books both original and fascinating.
Older, wiser, more experienced and a little more cynical - how does it stack up? Well yes methinks it does. Not quite as riveting as 30 years ago but still a good listen. Certainly worth a try for anyone new to the works and I would be happy to revisit other offerings.

this is my favourite book

I have read this book many times over the years since it was published and listened to this audible version three times, I love the story and the narrator is excellent. Thoroughly recommend it as a wonderful way to spend some time ☺️ I listen to it while making my jewellery. listened again today Oct 22 love it every time 😁😁😁
