Matyas takes refuge from his father's violence in fantasies of magical citiesâ??then true magic enters his life when he sees a man fly. Obsessed with becoming a magician and fixated on learning to fly himself, Matyas runs away to the capital, where he learns of a mysterious, long-lost Tarot of Eternity.

When a new boy's body is found without a head Matyas learns a terrible secret: a magician can live forever by devouring the lives of children. The magician who does this has hidden his name so no one can work a spell against him. He is the Child Eater.
Terrified of his son's nightmares, Jack enlists the help of the mysterious Dr. Reina. Soon however Simon realizes Reina means him ill. Is this mysterious doctor really The Child Eater and Simon is his next victim? Can the spirit of Simon's long-dead mother and the power of Matyas' Tarrot deck save him and the world?

Highly Recommended
By Sean P Dennison
This is one of those books that you can't put down. It's fast-paced and the story unfolds in a natural, but compelling way. The characters--especially Matyas and Simon, the two main protagonists--are well-developed and not your typical heroes, but young people who struggle in ways we all do. They are sometimes selfish, sometimes short-sighted, sometimes afraid, sometimes mistaken, sometimes angry...and yet, they are also sometimes noble and heroic. The story holds their wholeness in ways I found wise and inspiring.
I have to admit that I was so sad when I reached the end of the story that I decided to read it again. It held up to a second reading well because it is a story with layers. Pollack's expertise with the tarot shines through the story--both in intricate weaving with/in the plot and in the descriptions of the images on the cards themselves. I could imagine their beauty and power, just like any other character in the book.
It may be important to note that this isn't a horror story, though the idea that inspires the title is horrific. Instead it is part fantasy, part mystery, part poetry, and part wisdom tale. It has a timeless quality that reminds me of Neil Gaiman's *The Ocean at the End of the Lane*--another book I love to reread because of its depth and resonance.
I can't recommend this story highly enough. I'm glad I bought it in hardback because I will treasure coming back to it again and again.

I know it's a good one- and this one kept me up
By Lauren
If a book keeps me up at night in order to finish, I know it's a good one- and this one kept me up. A fully imagined world, complete with a "Sorcerer's Apprentice" type character who goes through amazing growth and change; connected to a realistic and endearing "modern" world focusing on a loving father and his son, and their connection to a magical past they do not understand. The story weaves between these two worlds, building in intensity and suspense as you go along. If you like Tarot, fantasy, a good story, and Rachel Pollack's writing in general, you will love this book. Get it and get ready to stay up reading!

For the magic lover in all of us!

The Child Eater is a story about two worlds that come together to stop an ancient evil. One of the worlds is like our own world, where we have electricity and everything is cleaner. In this world we have Jack Wisdom and his son Simon. Since Jack was young, his father always told him to be more than normal as their family wasn’t super intelligent as their name said. After an incident where people made fun of them because of Jack, his tries all his life to be normal and to not pay attention to the dream he had, the voices of children he heard, and the lights he saw. In the other world, a more medieval one, where magic exists, wizards are feared and precise, lives Matyas. At the age of fifteen he leaves his family Inn, where his father treated him like a slave, along with his only friend behind. After seeing a man flying and hearing voices calling him a Master”, the way wizards are called, he goes to the capital and enters the Wizard Academy. Without knowing it, what Matyas imagenes or sees, Jack dreams it.
In both of the worlds, children between the age of 8 and 10 years old disappear and later their bodies are found without their heads. Matyas, Jack, and Simon hear their cries for help but are unable to know what to do or how to stop the Child Eater.
I will say that I have mixed emotions with this book. For one part, I loved all of the theories of how the world came to exist, the types of magic and ways to use them. Also, I liked how both worlds were intertwined. What I didn’t like sometimes was Jack and Matyas. In his quest to be more normal than normal, something his family had been trying to be for a long time, Jack seems to hurt his son without knowing it. Matyas made me mad because of his pride and paranoia.
I really like when authors do their research and combine them in their story. In this story, Rachel Pollack has created a combination of different theories of how the universe and the Earth came to exist. She takes the idea of the world being created in seven days and combines it with the idea that the Earth has been created five times. I liked how all this came to combine and how Matyas is taught about it. It creates a story inside the story that we are reading.
The story shows many points that can make the reader relate with the characters. There is love and friendship; the expectations from our parents; the need to learn everything we can; the need to show those who look down on us that we actually made it; and, most of all, to want power. Both Matyas and Jack experience these things, and even Simon with his friend Jimmy has had a hard time being his friend. It got to a point that I understood what the characters were feeling.
The Child Eater is one of those books that are hard to put done once you’ve started, and even when the narrative would go back and forth between Matyas and Jack/Simon, this made the reader want to get faster to next chapter.
If you are a fan of Rachel Pollack’s work, or you like stories that talk about Tarot cards, magic, and eternity, then I recommend you the Child Eater. Here two worlds are joined by an evil without a name that has terrorized them for a long time, but with many events made by Matyas and Jack the end is near and the children are free.
