Title: A delightful present-day fairytale
Product review: I always love McKillip's writing, and it was a refreshing change to read a story of hers set in the present day. The setting gives it an unusually grounded feel, and unlike many of her fantasy works, the action stays lucid and comprehensible right down to the end. At the same time, McKillip maintains her signature touch for writing magic that feels vivid and mysterious, and the story has a delightful way of giving its secrets up bit by bit, at unexpected moments. It is not as deeply compelling as some of McKillip's other work, but it is a fine tale, and well worth reading.
