The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. ValenteMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Any book that features such marvelous things as the Leopard of Little Breezes and the Panther of Rough Storms, and a voyage across the Perverse and Perilous Sea must be read immediately.
This is one of my top ten of the year for sure.
Beware, this book also has witches and wairwulfs (the opposite of werewolves), wyvrens (not dragons), a Marquess with a very fine hat, fairies who ride wild bicycles, a changeling orchestra, alchemists, fairy food (edible, yet dangerous), half people, tsukumogami and a brave key.
"Where there is a key, there is yet hope."
I'm nominating this for a Gooseyness Award. I have much more to say on the subject, for now enjoy this mini review, and try to get your hands on this book as soon as you can. You won't regret it.
