Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Lyrical, imaginative but missing something..
Review: This would more like be a 3 1/2 or a 4 even on most people's scales, but I judge a little harder...

A very enjoyable book by McKillip but far from her best work. The prose is as lyrical as ever, like reading poetry that scuplt vivid images of foriegn, strange worlds. The story itself is born from the dustings of the typical fairy tale, with some unique twists thrown in for good measure, and a fascination for a firebird. The characters never become emotionally involving however, and a few seem a little stiff halfway through but as with every book of hers that I've read so far, this one is also worth checking out, if only for its lyrical beauty.
