Review: Archer's Goon, Diana Wynne Jones
I don't know what to say about this book. I borrowed it from the library because the library didn't have Howl's Moving Castle (by the same author), recommended by a friend. The title (Archer's Goon?!), cover art, and plot synopsis are all completely unappealing. But the story is riveting. Clever contemporary fantasy.
