    <body><![CDATA[It wasn't what I was expecting from a more whimsical writer... it reminded me more of The Odyssey (but less tragic) and not nearly as &quot;deep&quot;. At first I was confused by the switching of narrators and the fact that the chick had to be nursed back to health didn't really strike me as somethi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76721436">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[First for anyone looking for another book set in the same universe as Ella Enchanted, Fairest or the Princess Tales collection should look away now. This is a stand alone book with no ties to any other book she has written. Which is both in its favor and against it I think.<br/><br/>And yes my mai...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73444113">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[For me this book was enjoyable...enjoyable, but not memorable.  No &quot;gods and goddesses&quot; of fiction can ever compare with the Greek gods.  <br/><br/>Kezi is a weaver of rugs and a dancer.  She is a joy to watch and everyone in her family adores the sweet girl.  <br/><br/>Olus is the Akk...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65566990">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wanted very much, and tried very hard, to love this book.  There were certainly some strong points: the main characters are very fervent and likable, the setting is creative, and the family dynamics in the first third or so of the book are realistic and touching.
