Summary: Hawaii and Menehune
Review: for Changeling: the Dreaming. The 2nd in the Immortal Eyes trilogy (preceded by The Toybox, followed by Court of All Kings), Shadows on the Hill covers the chimerical Hawaii setting, and includes the story material for the second part of the Immortal Eyes chronicle. it also introduces the Menehune, the islands' native fae. the biggest problem with this book is that it spends too many pages detailing characters, pages that could have been better spent giving more detail to the various Menehune Callings (the four divisions of the Hawaiian fae) and their culture. the focus of the book is on the European Kith, and treats the native fae as a sidenote. the setting material is good, and open-ended enough to set Chronicles in Hawaii entirely for many years, though a good bibliography would have help fill in the holes.
