The Glittering World

I started reading this book after reading Ramsey Campbell's The Kind Folk. I was on a bit of a fairy kick and wanted to read another horror book about the fae. Sadly this book proved less than excellent. The novel is structured such that each of its four parts are told from the POV of a different character. I enjoyed the first couple of sections immensely, but by the time the book for the last one things really started to go off the rails. I had a tough time following the plot toward the end. Additionally I felt like the author really wrapped up the main mystery of the book and then didn't really have much else to do for the remaining pages.

The publisher's description comparing this book is Gaiman is nonsense. Levy's writing, while not poor, is nothing like the masterful prose of The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

Overall the first 3 sections were a 4/4.5 star read, and the last was 2.5/3. Overall I'd call this a 3 star book.
