I respect Robin McKinley's writing and am constantly amazed at her ability to make famous fairy tales into her own. This was her best fairy tale yet, in my opinion, and one of my favourite books -- I thought it was even better than Rose Daughter. The heroine is feisty and likeable, and the characters surrounding her are bold and heroic, and the world she lives in is delicious. A great, sweet, magical read indeed.
