          <body><![CDATA[I'm so impressed with how Kiki writes series; it's a form that has alluded me, and I think she has a wonderful grasp of it. Also the humor and quirkiness are very welcome. As a whole, I think this is a very strong first book. (not starring poetry so much anymore, but I really enjoyed this one.)]]></body>
