I read and was not overly impressed with Wildwood Dancing, but Cybele's Secret was just so utterly predictable, clichéd, and laughable right from the start that I couldn't finish it. It's a pity. I really liked Marillier's Sevenwaters trilogy. Another (secondhand) recommendation for Darkangel. My daughter really loves it. She also enjoyed Peeps.
