This book is so easy to read and super short but I cannot seem to finish it to save my life. Not sure what it was.

I am still pondering this book. I'm not sure how to rate it (though I gave it a four for now). If you are a fan of Francesca Lia Block's writing then you will love it. The book has a beautiful poetic feel to it. Lia Block tells the story of Bee (a changeling) in this beautiful, haunting manner. It is a quick read though and a wonderful introduction to Lia Block's writing if you haven't read her work before.

whoa @_@

There is no way I could resist a book by FLB that took its title from my favorite Yeats poem. There's some Tam Lin woven in as well. An otherworldly, tinkly, dancing story that, as one expects from FLB, manages to work in intense love of Los Angeles among the magical fairy dust. It was a lot of fun, light and frothy and suffused with that especial Southern California magic that Block has built a career on.

This book felt more like a writing exercise than a full story. Extremely barebone and lacking the sparkle of Block's other work.
