I read Gildaen last night. The subtitle is a bit misleading: "The Heroic Adventures of a Most Unusual Rabbit," because it conjures up ideas of a rabbit moving among animal compatriots, when really Gildaen mixes with humans and gets caught up in their intrigues. The plot was rather predictable and the writing so-so. It's the sort of book you might call "charming," and not intend an entirely complimentary meaning. Still, I wanted lighter reading last night and it fit the bill.

Charming and intriguing. They don't make fiction for middle-readers like this any more.
