I totally agree with you about McKinley…I just love her books for the same fairy tale feel. I can get lost in her writing. Thanks for the review. Wisteria

I actually have three copies of this book because I keep lending them out, and then I want to read it so I buy a new one, and then I have another one to lend out... It's a vicious circle. And all three are lent out to people in Ohio, so I probably won't ever get them back. (One I refused to take back because I insisted that she had to get past page 20 before deciding not to read it--she said it was too slow for her.) I'm so excited that you liked this book! Have you looked up the original Donkeyskin tale it's based on? McKinley did such a wonderful job reinventing it. Jena’s last blog post..Rocksalt: An Anthology of Contemporary BC Poetry

Sounds like an interesting read! I’ve never read this author, or really any Sci/Fi/Fantasy writers except Tolkien.

Blogging is bad for the health of my bank account. This sounds terrific. I love literary fantasy (is there such a genre? or did I just make that up?) Beth F’s last blog post..Blog Improvement Project: #4

No, I don't think it's YA either. I loved this book. It was difficult to read at times, but like you I loved Lissar's transformation. Nymeth’s last blog post..Death Note vols 1-3 by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata
