Did the protagonist just decide to throw in a butt load of extra consonants to try to make it look cooler? I am not going to summarize the story as much better reviewers than I have already done so, many times before. Mythago Woods is a dark book, not grimdark dark, more like dirt under your fingernails, sweat streaming down your face, salt stinging your eyes, gritty kind of dark.How can you even try to compare it to a book with a beautiful theme that celebrates goodness, compassion, freedom, and equality.

Stephen also meets a local man named Harry Keeton, a burn-scarred ex- RAF pilot, who encountered a similar wood when he was shot down over France and has since been trying to find a city that he saw there.
