ARIEL by Steven R. Boyett Review
I Just re-read this after 15 years and it’s still one of the best urban fantasy novels out there. Steven R. Boyett’s Ariel is a magical yet down-to-earth fantasy with human and non-human characters you can believe in, even love. It’s written with an intelligence and maturity that set it apart from your average book with a unicorn on the cover. The e-book version contains at least one chapter that did not appear in the print version, and a nice afterword by Boyett. For years I’d buy every copy of Ariel I found in used book stores to give to friends. Now they’re an endangered species. I recommend finding a copy of this book in whatever form and adding it to the list of books you’ll re-read every decade or so.
