I absolutely love this book!
To begin with, the writing style is a little odd compared to the style of other authors I've read, very unique. But you quickly become used to it, and the characters consequent slightly strange way of talking, and it becomes the basis for a light feeling, humor, lovable, interesting characters, and a wonderful, relatively quick read.
The main character, Clovermead, certainly has a lot of growing up to do. She seems a very silly chatterbox, but despite that you cannot h...more

It wasn't one of the best books this year but I liked the overall story I feel the characters could have been more in depth though. Randall used words such as fuddy duddy and dolled up that I don't believe went with the flow of the story
A fantasy about a young girl, her strengths and discovery of her hidden past. She fights men and bears as she discovers a "bearside" to herself. Great mental Pictures!
This book started out great, with interesting characters and cool names and then it got trippy weird. Something about the bear-god being in the tooth and talking to Clovermead...I'll be honest by the time I finished the book I had no idea what was going on.
has to be one of the worst books I have EVER read.

Good book. The guy Sorell in it is close to Dimitri, he has dimitri-style hair, dark eyes and he's a good fighter but not quite as bad ass as Dimitri. Clovermeads Father turns out to be a lying, cowarding ba***rd and Clovermead herself is a princess of Chandlefort and the heir to the 21st throne.
