This is a lovely review! I completely agree with all your points, especially about the book being a bit confusing in the beginning. Oh, and I simply adore Eldric; he reminded me a bit of Gilbert Blythe in Anne of Green Gables. I actually heard the audio book by Susan Duerden on the recommendation of The BookSmugglers. If you liked the book, you’ll like the audio even better. Duerden is a great narrator, with that whimsical, half-sad, half-happy voice that Briony must have.

Wow, I admit I had no interest in this based on the cover and the title, but your review definitely changed my mind- I’ll be keeping an eye out for this one!

Don’t you love it when you finish a book and immediately want to reread it? I’ve given in, though–maybe I should.

I bought this one many months ago on my Kindle, and have neglected to read it so far. Your review has me wanting to speed through my current read to get to this one all the faster. Wonderful review today! I am eager with anticipation to try this book now!

Just reading your review makes me want to read this book again! I loved it so much. It is definitely one that I want in my permanent library. And as a writer, I found Franny Billingsley’s style to be just amazing.

I do love an unreliable narrator but the paranormal aspect isn’t my favorite. I’ll have to think about this one.
