A mysterious girl shares stories of stars and monsters with a young prince.

This is a tale with many fantastic, interwoven stories. I loved the language and the monsters and the details. Not that it's a good thing, but I'm usually all about action. I speed through adventures to see what will happen next. I reread passages in this often. Sometimes there would be a story that a person in another story was telling who was also in a story being told by one of the main characters, and then a character from that story would begin a story, and I would be delighted. I can't wait to find out more about the girl telling the stories in the next book.
