It has been centuries since one of Annwn’s greatest treasures, a golden torc, was broken into three pieces and hidden away for safe keeping. The Lost Treasure of Annwn, the fourth book in the magical Jack Brenin series, sees Jack wrestling with a daunting task. I would gladly pick up a future book by her in hopes that she refined her writing.The Lost Treasure of Annwn Catherine Cooper (I read the e-book version, however, so perhaps these were fixed in the hard copy.) Cooper does, however, show promise as an author, exhibiting a fertile imagination and the ability to create likable characters. The numerous typos further detract from the story. The lack of real danger or disagreement leaves the story without suspense, and the reader has little reason to return for the sequel.
The characters he encounters there have little depth, the ones on his side all exhibiting the same childlike simplicity and trust, never truly quarreling with each other and always ready to apologize if they inadvertently offended. The protagonist, however, walks into this world all too readily, barely questioning the phenomena he witnesses, though no evidence exists that he has an active imagination or a propensity to believe in the fantastic. Cooper fails to create a world either compelling or believable as the origins, natures, and powers of the various mythological creatures remain largely unexplained. Review: The Golden Acorn has a fantastic premise, promising that magic exists all around us, but it ultimately does not distinguish itself among the many wonderful fantasy books available. The first in the Adventures of Jack Brenin. A prophecy foretells that a brave boy will save them all, but the chosen one must first learn to believe in himself.
Now the dryads have begun to die, leaving the trees empty shells. However, only their world contains the substances they need to sustain their lives. Summary: For many years the portal to the magical land of Annwn has remained shut, trapping some of its peoples in the English countryside.
