Good but not up to his current standards
Harp of the Gray Rose is one of Charles DeLint's earlier works (1985) but was written after his fabulous Moonheart which is a much better book in my opinion. It is a rather standard fantasy with a few twists and is not up to par with the urban fantasy which is is rightfully famed for. That being said, I belive most fantasy fans will enjoy the book for it's characters.
