Review by: Lynn E. O'Connacht on May 16, 2013 :
I'm not sure what to think of "Dharma". It reads very much like a de Lint story (as you'd expect, really), but it's never clicked with me the way his work usually does and I can't put a finger on why. Maybe it's the setting. It's a bit further back in time than most of the stories I've read and I don't really have a lot of connection to (or, to be honest, interest in) the time-frame of the story.

Anyway! It's still a good story. It's got a strong setting, a good voice, a wonderful mix of the mundane and the magical. It just didn't quite click with me.
