For me, I would have preferred a little more coherence, but with the daring of this author and his control over his more unusual decisions, comes a distinctive teen fantasy title. Or, for the passing adult, a very brisk and quick genre book, for a change from all those stolid, lumpen, 1000+pp efforts. ''The Mendini Canticle'' proves a huge imagination is being served by a more than reasonable writing skill and however varied the contents are, they are generally much more hit than miss.
I must thank the kind Orchard Books people for our review copy. We also have a review of [[The Magical Detectives and the Forbidden Spell by Brian Keaney]].
We at the Bookbag are also enjoying [[The Haunting of Nathaniel Wolfe by Brian Keaney|Brian Keaney's other]] [[Nathaniel Wolfe and the Bodysnatchers by Brian Keaney|series]]. For more teen fantasy start at the beginning of the immense [[:Category:D J MacHale|Pendragon series]] and just try not to get swallowed up. You might also enjoy [[K'Barthan Trilogy: Few Are Chosen by M T McGuire]] once you get past the chaotic first few chapters. You might also enjoy [[The Shadow of Malabron by Thomas Wharton]] or [[The Fallen: Fallen and Leviathan by Thomas E Sniegoski]].
