The Riddle of the Wren
Title
: The riddle of the wren
Who's
afraid of nightmares? Trapping on her nightmare one day, she meets Jan, the
Lord of the the Moors who has been captured by Ildran the Dream-master-the sam e
being who traps Minda. In exchange for her promise to set him free, Jan gives
her three tokens. Then, she embarks on a journey leaving the comfort of her old
life to new world to save Jan, to confront Ildran and to solve the riddle of
the wren. This is the first novel of Charles de Lint, who is an extraordinary
prolific writer of fantasy works. The author succeeds in introducing the
incremental changes happening to Minda, not only the changes that she's unaware
but the ones she sees as she travels. The story is not written with complicated
plot that makes it easy to read. Also, the pace is rapidly fast but does not
make the readers lost. Readers could never get bored as some surprising plot
point is revealed. That's why this novel was the winner of the World Fantasy
Award .
