Rating:  - Pleasant Intensity
A very good book to help figure out one's own psychology. Paying attention to one's own responses to this book while reading it can help untangle one's own "messes" both of head and heart. Hoffman's work makes me think of what "Women Who Run with the Wolves" would be like if it were a novel.
Rating: - Wonderful
Nina Kiriki Hoffman is a terrific writer and I am glad that I purchased this book.
Rating: - A magical world very like our own... but full of wonder
If you've already read this and are looking for similar books, I fear you'll be disappointed. Hoffman's novels are quite unique. That said, read the rest of her books, especially Past the Size of Dreaming and Stir of Bones. These are also about Matt and Edmund. Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls by Jane Lindskold, many stories & novels by Charles de Lint, say The Ivory and the Horn or Trader, the anthology The Armless Maiden ed. by Terri Windling who also wrote The Woodwife, a novel.

Rating: - Uniquely Magic
I love everything by Nina Hoffman, and this book is probably my favorite; she has such an amazing command of fantasy. "A Red Heart of Memories" combines unique and fascinating fantasy elements with reality and the issues people face. Her characters are never shallow, and the complexities of their personalities help the story move in unexpected directions. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves unique fantasy - something different than what is typically out there in the fantasy world.

While the worldview undergirding the story is pagan, the ethics are, in the main, traditional. Loyalty, home, forgiveness, understanding, tolerance: all all valued; child molestation, murder, and magical curses are understood to be wrong. There ... Read More
