This lovely and impeccable novel was the perfect read for a sick day. (Spoiler: I was sick when I wrote this brief review.) It's going to rank up there with The Goblin Emperor as one of my favorite fantasies. There is a quiet village, bordered by a dark and dangerous Wood; a haughty, powerful wizard, the Dragon, ruling from his tower; and a plain village girl, Agnieszka, discovering that within herself lies extraordinary magic and the will to use it to protect her home. This is a must-read for fantasy fans.
