You will either love her or hate her. In today's world of quick-and-easy fiction vs. things-you-have-think-about fiction, she falls somewhere in the middle, but closer to things-you-have-to-think-about. ...more

What everyone else said: strong, well-written stories with fantastical elements, all way way too similar to each other in tone and style.

I'd love to see the author branch out more, because her ideas are really cool and she writes well.

People who liked this should definitely check out Maureen McHugh and Kelly Link. ...more
