I feel bad. I finished this book two days after we recorded the episode of Sword and Laser where we wrap it up (first time I haven't finished a book for the audio show). I blame Outlander for being too long.

Anyhow, I wish I had made it to the end, because coming away from the book now I feel much differently than I did at the 75% mark. If felt like the silliness that was almost a distraction for me came together in the end in a really beautiful and meaningful way.

Beautifully executed adapted folklore that improves with re-reading, this novel features marvelous adventures, endearing characters, and a deeply satisfying conclusion. The sequels are only okay, but Bridge of Birds has remained a favorite for some time.
