Lavondyss: Journey to an Unknown Region by Robert Holdstock

4.0

I really enjoyed the first part that takes place in the real world, but just as with [b:Mythago Wood|126192|Mythago Wood (Mythago Wood, #1)|Robert Holdstock|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1308639607s/126192.jpg|121534], I found the story confusing and muddled once the action shifted to the wood itself. Some have faulted Holdstock for losing control of the story, but I wonder if this was part of his point. No matter how much preparation you do, and no matter how much you think you understand it, once you enter the wood you will forget all your training and do nothing more than struggle to get out again. That's the moral I came up with, anyway.
