Editorial Review:

"Once upon a time," begins the narrator of this richly imagined novel. But what follows is no ordinary fantasy full of dragons, elves, and wicked stepmothers. Yes, the tale involves a boy named Jack. But he's not the one who climbed a beanstalk or slew seven giants with one blow. This Jack is a storyteller, a seventeen-year-old farm boy who sets off to seek his fortune in the royal city of Sundar. Jack has many adventures and narrow escapes on his journey. He also meets an assortment of memorable characters—including a talking bird, a one-eyed robber, a mysterious illusionist, and a melancholy princess. Each has a tale to tell, and these accounts, along with Jack's own stories and the framing narrative, are woven into a complex, dazzling tapestry that will capture the reader's imagination. Through them, Edward Myers explores the power—for good and for evil—of the stories we all tell.

Entertaining & adventurous 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I am surprised to find that this book is out of print - I found The Mountain Made of Light to be a very entertaining and worthwhile read. The story concerns Jesse O'Keefe, a young anthropologist who discovers a "lost" indigenous civilization living in the Andes mountains. The plot is fantastically crafted, the writing has a very Indiana-Jonesish quality, and the characters and culture are likable, if not entirely believable. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a decent treasure-hunt adventure!

Editorial Review:

In the Peruvian Andes seeking a haven for himself and an opportunity to make his name as an anthropologist, Jesse O'Keefe finds an entire civilization descended from the Incas and locked in the past.

the second and third books in the series not only offer no value in and of themselves, they actually subtract from the value of the first book in the series, which on its own is quite an intriguing book. read the first, skip the following two!

Editorial Review:

With the Mountain Drawn separated into two hostile camps, Forster, the Man of Darkness and Ignorance, prepares to sacrifice anyone to his own obsessive drive to reach the legendary Mountain Made of Light.
