I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in The Fetch. I've met Laura Whitcomb and I consider her sister, Cynthia one of my mentors. I adored A Certain Slant of Light and thought I would do the same for The Fetch.
I love Calder's story and the path he leads newly arriving souls on toward the gates of heaven. The setting is beautiful and charming. Ms. Whitcomb's prose is lovely and creative painting a sparkling picture in the reader's mind. Calder had a warm heart but made a poor choice based on the human emotion of love.
I got bogged down however, in the long and exhaustive trip the three characters took around the world. They were sleeping all the time and when they woke, they were in a completely different part of the world. I know they were sleeping but as a reader I felt like I'd missed something. It just bogged down the middle of what was a charming tale.
I still rate The Fetch as 4 out of 5 stars. And I will read everything Laura Whitcomb publishes since I love how she weaves and writes beautiful paranormal stories of love.
