The spiritworld and internet are starting to blend together, so when some people get literally sucked into a website, their friends have to go to the spiritworld to try to save them. I loved the overall atmosphere of this and how nonchalant half the characters were about the presence of magic in the world. The beginning has this 75-page-long prologue-ish section where two women with ties to the otherworld just sit in a coffee shop and chat about their lives, and I think that I didn't even really need a plot and would have been okay with just reading a whole book of that. The biggest weakness (well, aside from the atrocious cover art) is that the human characters aren't as interesting as the semi- and pseudo-human characters, but there are plenty of the latter so it's not a huge deal.

This was a great story. Charles De Lint continues to weave magical tales of the residents of Newford. I really liked that this took on the idea of spirits moving from the "Real" world into the world of the internet. The multiple perspective was a little strange at first but it eventually all comes together. Definitely a must read for Urban Fantasy lovers.
