July 06, 2008: I love Mercedes Lackey-- I really do. This book was a little flat compared to many of the others she's written, but there are a few very good scenes, some tasty characterization, and an interesting premise. ... so why the '2'? Mostly for the sanctimonious piety. It's not completely absent from her other books-- and in its more complex and self-reflective form-- it's almost a comforting thing to encounter. But here... it's completely. out. of. control. The desire to smack the heroine silly hits about thirty pages in and never really abates-- but Lackey is so good at the 'craft' of writing that one is compelled to keep reading anyway... all the way to the bitter end. gah.

January 18, 2006: I am truly fascinated with Ms. Lackey's rendition of the childhood tales I grew up with. The current story is just as exciting as the previous books. Anyone that enjoyed reading or hearing fairy tales as a child will love these books.
