    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, clever fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 September 2021

    I adored this book. Beautiful writing (if perhaps overburdened with clever similes), a wonderful plot (despite the occasional heavy-handed allegory), and lovable characters so realistically drawn that they practically spring off the pages. For me, the pace and interest picked up about half-way through, as if Kress (and the characters themselves) found their meaning and direction after wandering through the necessary adventures that defined the first half of the story. The ending is satisfying and fitting.

    Which is to say, it’s not a perfect book, but I loved it, filled it with highlights, and will likely go back and read it again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Memorable and enduringly sweet
    Reviewed in the United States on 11 March 2012
    Verified Purchase
    It's been a while since I read this book, but seeing the dearth of customer reviews and an unfairly low star rating, I just had to bump up the score. The very best young adult fiction books can appeal to readers of any age, with a message that resounds because of its universality and timelessness. This is such a book. At turns humorous and heart-breaking, the adventure of Kirila and Chessie of self discovery is memorable and enduringly sweet. Highly recommended, particularly for young female readers!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Finish
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 March 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I dearly love Nancy Kress's novels (if you haven't read Beggars in Spain RUN and get a copy-RIGHT NOW!), and I really, really wanted to love this - but I just couldn't finish. It seemed like she was trying too hard to be witty - at times it reminded me of The Phantom Tollbooth. But, unfortunately, I found myself not really caring about Kirila and Chessie, and had to admit I didn't want to read any more.
