All I know is that the book was great, one of my faves.

I read it a long time ago and would love to read it again... However i can't find it in this stupid country. Even a translation.... sighs*

Comments? Opinions? (To the book, of course).

I didn't really like it.

The plot seemed cliche to the extremes, the writing style was dull... It was just really really hard to get through.

I have not read it in a long time, but I remember loving it when I did. It wasn't the most original thing in the world, but it was strangely fascinating.

Robin McKinley is one of my favorite authors in the world. I loved this book.

I just barely read this, and I have to say I like it better than "The Hero and the Crown". Less dull, with a more interesting plot.

I remember reading this years ago and enjoying it. It's not the best book out there, but it had its moments, and it kept me entertained to the end.

Never forget how special this site is: the older I get, the more I realize how many lonely writers there are who have only family and maybe some friends to read their works. The fact we get free critique, nightly writing pads, free contests and unlimited interaction at *no cost* with people genuinely wanting to help, can not be overstated or overrated
