Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a city where magic and technology coexist, where elves and humans mingle in the streets, and where anything can happen? If so, you might want to check out Elsewhere, a novel by Will Shetterly that takes you to Bordertown, a gritty and fascinating place that lies between the real world and the world of faerie.
Elsewhere tells the story of Ron, a runaway who ends up in Bordertown looking for his older brother, who disappeared years ago. Along the way, he meets a colorful cast of characters, such as Wolfboy, a half-elf street performer, Leda, a beautiful and mysterious singer, and Tick-Tick, a mechanical genius. He also gets involved in a conflict between rival gangs, the human Daylights and the elfish Truebloods, who are fighting for control of the city.
Ron soon discovers that Bordertown is not a safe place to be, especially for a newcomer. He has to deal with violence, prejudice, betrayal, and the unpredictable effects of magic. He also has to face his own past and his feelings for Leda, who has a dark secret of her own. Through his adventures, Ron learns what it means to be human, to love, and to belong.
Elsewhere is a captivating and original novel that blends urban fantasy, cyberpunk, and coming-of-age themes. It is part of the Borderland series, a shared-world project created by Terri Windling, which features stories by various authors set in the same universe. However, Elsewhere can be read as a standalone book, as it has its own plot and characters.
The novel has received positive reviews from critics and readers alike, who praised its vivid and immersive world-building, its engaging and diverse characters, and its fast-paced and compelling plot.
