I think Gaiman is one of those authors you either love or hate, but I'm one of those weirdos who still isn't sure whether I like him or not. I respect his talent, and keep reading his books, but I still can't figure out if I like him as a writer.

Tristan grows up in a village close to the fairy world and has some awesome adventures. He seeks a fallen star, and when the star ends up being a beautiful, injured woman, he doesn't lose a step. The two are bound together and forced to make it back to the city at the edge of fairy, but sometimes priorities change. The familiar fairy tales are twisted here--lots of dark witches, and evil, but plenty of oath-taking and goodness, too.

This is a charming fairy tale. At times, it seems to wander off on tangents, but don't worry. The pieces will all come together in the end.
