review 1: This is a very well written and novel take on a classic fairy tale. I have only one complaint. The protagonist spends too much time wondering if she is going crazy. Protagonists who constantly doubt the crazy things that are clearly going on around them are annoying enough when they come from a world without magic and have some reason to question what it is happening, but for a girl who regularly has to pick gremlins out of the wheat she spends too much time doubting what she is seeing. The reader knows that magic works in this story. The protagonist knows that magic works. Just get on with it!Other than that I like Rhea and I like this story.
review 2: There are, my lit-crit brain tells me, authors out there who perform startling feats of stylistic excell... moreence or who can turn sparseness into the poetic art of a winter's day.And there are other authors, my reader brain responds, who tap right into your mind and heart and pull you along into the story with the hook-behind-the-navel feeling of a Portkey.I love Ursula's art and her children's stories are a delight, but when she writes as T. Kingfisher, its as though she recognizes everything I love about fantasy and fairy tales and turns them into something even better. She's just that good. And this little book was perfect. less
