Magic is already fading in the Green Isles, but it's still a time when myths walk the world and the children of the ancient gods are engaged in one final confrontation. But when legendary creatures wage war, it s the ordinary people who suffer the consequences--unless they, themselves, can find a way to bring an end to the hostilities. The trouble is, not all of them are able to pick a side. Eyes Like Leaves was written in the days of Moonheart and Charles de Lint's other high fantasy novels. The tale slept like a long-forgotten lover until he recently chose to revisit (and polish) this never-before-published gem.

Way too high fantasy for my current tastes. While it was very interesting to read de Lint's intro, this style of story isn't to my taste (lots of mythological exposition, changes focus between multiple parties). Being de Lint, however, his gorgeous writing made me care about each of those parties by book's end... it just felt like work getting through the first half.
