Praise for Celtika and Robert Holdstock
“Dazzling … Holdstock more than lives up to his billing as one of the finest living crafters of myth.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Strong and striking … Holdstock masterfully conflates two great myths of two disparate cultures. The personalities of Jason and Medea are consistent with their legends, but their motivations are revealed with a sure, contemporary astuteness.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“It astonishes.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Holdstock is the finest writer of metamorphic fantasy now working.”
—The Washington Post
“Our finest living mythmaker.”
—Stephen Baxter
“Marvelous … Highly recommended.”
—Interzone
“No other author has so successfully captured the magic of the wildwood.”
—Michael Moorcock
This is a work of fiction. All the characters and events portrayed in this book are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
