The Painted Boy | Charles de Lint

1 post | 4 read | 1 to read

Jay Li should be in Chicago, finishing high school and working at his family's restaurant. Instead, as a born member of the Yellow Dragon Clan-part human, part dragon, like his grandmother-he is on a quest even he does not understand. His journey takes him to Santo del Vado Viejo in the Arizona desert, a town overrun by gangs, haunted by members of other animal clans, perfumed by delicious food, and set to the beat of Malo Malo, a barrio rock band whose female lead guitarist captures Jay's heart. He must face a series of dangerous, otherworldly-and very human-challenges to become the man, and dragon, he is meant to be. This is Charles de Lint at his best!

The Painted Boy | Charles de Lint

so-so

It‘s been a while since I‘ve read a Charles de Lint book and while this had all the magic I remember, I just didn‘t like it that much. It felt a bit shallow and slow, and there were POV issues. The defeat of the main bad guy didn‘t make any sense to me—I kept waiting for it to be explained but it wasn‘t.

Finished this after a morning of berry picking!
