May follow the Alexander template, but as I've mentioned in other reviews of his books, this is unexpectedly on a reason TO read him. The Arkadians is a beautiful novel which again shows off Alexander's way with words, characters and pearls of wisdom. Never a clam, always an oyster.

This is a great adventure and an interesting spin on Greek mythology. All of the characters are human and they all have ways to grow, which I like.
I really like this book, but I remember liking it a little more when I was younger. Joy-In-the-Dance bugged me just a little this time around, but I still like her and I still think this is a good book. Consider it recommended.
