I'm about 2/3 of the way through (Shadowland) and I must say it's quite amazing. The scope of the book, and the issues it touches on are extrodinary. It's mythic, really. Along the way of telling the story of a group of boys who went to a creepy boy's school in the 60s, and then their lives years later, as adults, he touches on the nature and philosophy of magic, archetypes and fairy/folk tales, also taking some side trips into WWI. He also creates compelling, unique characters that you're interested in, and care about.

Some people might find it a bit sprawling, but I love all the places it goes.

Hope it can hold up till the end.
