    <body><![CDATA[I really loved the world-building here, but it took me a while to warm to the characters.  In fact, I appreciate Flora in this book more as the starting point of a series heroine than as the protagonist of this book alone;  I had the first and second books in hand together and read them back-to-back...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64906965">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked the colonial SW of North America setting. I loved that Flora's mom was known as &quot;Buck.&quot; (I had a great-uncle named Buck.) I liked the fresh use of Nahuatl or Nahuatl-sounding words in the vocabulary of Flora's world (Huitzil, Axacaya). I liked that one of her Mom's legendary exploi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53048841">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved it. The heroine is everything that a tween-age girl should be: self-righteous, blundering, faithful to her friends, and always on the look out for a new adventure. Wilce doesn't give her characters a false nobility, like many fairy tale escapades seem to.<br/><br/>Since the subtitle is a pre...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35858758">more...</a>]]></body>
