The Summer Tree takes five college students in Canada and transports them to a foreign world where each becomes vitally important parts in a struggle against an ancient and oppressive evil. That being said, I constantly felt like I was being raced through all the history and modern politics of the foreign world without ever getting a chance to just absorb it. New and different aspects of the mythos were just thrown at you and moved on without giving you the chance to get your feet back under you and really understand what was going on. It wasn't until I finished the book that I had any desire to read the sequel. And that desire mostly stems from the fact that it ends on a huge cliffhanger without any real resolution of the conflicts that had been established.
Overall Rating: 2/5
