This weren't no Chiggers. More sophistcated story but a bit choppy at times. Maybe she was already gearing up for Winkle in Time? Mercury makes me very excited to see what she does with L'Engle. ( )

Love, revenge, history and a touch of fantasy. Well-done and richly layered but hard to imagine many teen readers being drawn to this story. ( )

Eh. Didn't love it. It's pretty, but the story just didn't grab me. ( )

I think I like it...

I found the ending to be a little difficult for me. I didn't have any issues with the magical realism in the book, but it was building, building, building and then it seemed to just end. Maybe I need to reread it to understand the ending more clearly. ( )

I did not terribly enjoy this - with the focus being on pictures and action, the story felt under-developed and I did not feel any great connection with the protagonist. I suppose such a problem could be beneficial for a reluctant reader who needs the action of a movie to keep his/her interest. The hint of magical mystery was intriguing. ( )
