For fairy tale ease and taut, to-the-word apt diction, Grace Lin hasn't got an equal in the soi-disant 'children's fiction' line. Although like any story, well-told and true, it doesn't really stick in a single readership circle -- anyone who loves words, and a good yarn, will love this.

I didn’t think this was as good as the other 2 books, but it’s interesting to see how the books and the characters go together.
