5/22/2023 0 Comments Eden robinson trickster drift![]() ![]() Moved out of party city (aka his mom’s house), Jared is enrolled in university, looking to make something of his life, reconnecting with grandmothers, old and new, and dodging his mother’s psychotic ex who is stalking him. He attracts magic and spirits like lint to a sock, no matter how many times he dutifully smudges his apartment. ![]() And the otters aren’t the only ones looking for someone with as much mojo as he is proven to have. Unfortunately, he’s still a son of the trickster, drunk or sober. ![]() He lost a toe and his girlfriend, and committed to sobriety so nothing like that could ever happen to him again. It’s been a year since Jared almost died after going on a crazy bender with his girlfriend and mistakenly broadcasting his presence to a group of disgruntled, shapeshifting otters. Although the excessive substance abuse and some other content depicted made me hesitate to continue reading the series, I decided to give book two, Trickster Drift, a try and I loved it and immediately had to go and read book three, Return of the Trickster. The mysticism of the Native trickster Wee’git (who is also literally a “wee git”) is the starting point for a well-built urban fantasy story. When I read the first book of this trilogy, Son of a Trickster, by Eden Robinson with its snarky voicing and wacky scenarios, I really enjoyed it. ![]()
