![]() Music excerpts abound throughout, sure to entertain even those of us unfamiliar with music of that period. There is something kind of awesome about a book that can combine rock music with something as fantastical as faeries. ![]() In order to keep her safe (until she has to risk her life in battle), the phouka is dispatched as her bodyguard. That’s right, Eddi is drafted into a faerie war. To make matters worse, she is soon recruited by the Seelie Court to help them make war. When the novel starts, Eddi’s prospects in the music department are not so good. ![]() Originally published in 1987, this book is set in Minneapolis where Eddi McCandry is trying to make a living as a rock and roll musician. Emma Bull does the same in War for the Oaks. Harvey (with James Stewart) made brilliant use of this creature. I’ve come to the conclusion that any story with a phouka (alternately spelled pooka) is better for it. Being a bit more of an adult book than a lot I’ve been reading lately, the print was a bit smaller and it took a little longer to read. I’ve had a copy of this book on my shelves for three years and finally found the time to read it this summer. ![]()
