Pretty much everything here originally appeared at my actual blog: By Singing Light. I particularly focus on upper middle-grade and young adult books. I also enjoy adult genre books, especially speculative fiction.

A companion book to Mistwood, which I loved. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out exactly how the two connected. In fact, I’m not sure how I feel about that connection. It’s hard to imagine a particular pivotal scene without it, and yet I was also somewhat distracted by the whole thing for a part of the book. HOWEVER! This is another beautifully imagined world, both wonderful and eerie. I loved the interaction between Darri, Callie, and Varis, who I unexpectedly loved. I was kind of sad about part of the ending, but it was a good sort of sad (the I wish it wasn’t like this, but I can’t see what other way it could have happened kind). [June 2011]
