Product Description

Review

"Astonishing work! Valente's endless invention and mythic range are breathtaking. It's as if she's gone night-wandering, and plucked a hundred distant cultures out of the air to deliver their stories to us."--Ellen Kushner, author of Thomas the Rhymer
"Weaves layer upon layer of marvels...a treat for all who love puzzle stories."--Carol Berg, author of the Bridge of D'Arnath series
"A fairy tale lover's wildest dream come true.... Valente has created a thought-provoking storytelling tour de force."--"Publishers Weekly"


Synopsis

A series of interconnected fairy tales for adults journeys into a fantastical world populated by heron kings, fox-faced women who command living ships, and goose girls who can really fly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing again!, 8 Feb 2008
By rubbah "rubbah" (Hertfordshire) - See all my reviews
I was a bit dubious as to whether this would be as good as the prequel but it was! i love the way every single story between the two books connect in some way.
The main story is again about the girl in the garden telling stories from the tatooes on her eyes to the prince(and future sultan). she starts by telling a story, and a character from it starts telling the protagonist a story and so on, so the stories unfold like a set of Russian dolls.
And the best thing about the book is you discover who the girl in the garden is, and why she has the tatooes around her eyes; it is a very satisfying revelation.
You will be thinking about this book and it's predecessor long after finishing them.
